  • The need for a new theory of economic reform 
    Currie, C. V (Elsevier, 2003)
    Debate regarding key factors determining the success or failure of policies of liberalization and privatization, illustrates the need for a concise theoretical foundation to guide decision makers as to how, when, and ...
  • A nested logit model of recreational fishing demand in Alaska 
    Carson Richard; Hanemann W; Wegge Thomas (University of Rhode Island, Department of Environmental and Natural Resource Economics, 2009)
    This paper (and the large study behind it) was in some ways a labor of love. We set out to build a discrete choice model to predict recreational fishing behavior that would extend the literature along several dimensions. ...
  • Network locali e logiche distrettuali in Cina: il caso del Jiangsu 
    Cucco Ivan (Franco Angeli Edizioni, 2008)
  • A New Approach to Business Fluctuations: Heterogeneous Interacting Agents, Scaling Laws and Financial Fragility 
    Delli Gatti Domenico; Di Guilmi Corrado; Gaffeo Edoardo; Giulioni Gianfranco; Gallegati Mauro; Palestrini Antonio (Elsevier B.V., 2005)
    In this paper, we discuss a scaling approach to business fluctuations. Our starting point consists in recognizing that concepts and methods derived from physics have allowed economists to (re)discover a set of stylized ...
  • A New Idea for Welfare Reform 
    Keane Michael (Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, 1995)
    This article analyzes several proposals to build work incentives into the U.S. welfare system. It concludes that the most cost effective way to do that is to offer a work subsidy to all low-income single parents¿in other ...
  • A new theory of financial regulation: Predicting, measuring and preventing financial crises 
    Currie, C. V (Elsevier, 2003)
    The frequency of financial crises in the last 20 years can be attributed to the lack of a comprehensive theory of financial regulation to guide policy makers. Existing theories fail to define the range of regulatory ...
  • New Zealand lessons for Australian workplace reform: a critique of 151 academics 
    Perry Leonard (Elsevier, 2007)
    The Australian Government's newly-introduced Work Choices Act represents one of the most far-reaching changes to Australian workplace legislation since Federation. A major detailed critique of the Act-or Bill as it was ...
  • Noncooperative versus cooperative R&D with endogenous spillover rates 
    Amir R; Evstigneev I; Wooders John (Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2003)
    This paper deals with a general version of a two-stage model of R&D and product market competition. We provide a thorough generalization of previous results on the comparative performance of noncooperative and cooperative ...
  • A Note on Some Limitations of CRRS Utility 
    Geweke John (Taylor and Francis Group, 2001)
    Abstract: In a standard environment for choice under uncertainty with constant relative risk aversion (CRRA), the existence of expected utility is fragile with respect to changes in the distributions of random variables, ...
  • A note on the extraction of components from time series 
    Pagan Adrian (Wiley-Blackwell, 1975)
    THIS NOTE SUGGESTS that the components models employed in [2, 3, 10, 11, 12 and 17] may be usefully analyzed within the state space framework found in the literature of control engineering. Such a formulation has the ...
  • Nurses' retention and hospital characteristics in New South Wales 
    Jones Glenn; Doiron Denise (Blackwell Publishing Asia, 2006)
    Registered nurses (RNs) working in the NSW public sector in 1996 are matched to the hospital in which they work. We analyse their annual retention probability using personal and job characteristics along with ...
  • On Bayesian Analysis and Computation for Functions with Monotonicity and Curvature Restrictions 
    Mccausland William (Elsevier, 2008)
    Our goal is inference for shape-restricted functions. Our functional form consists of finite linear combinations of basis functions. Prior elicitation is difficult due to the irregular shape of the parameter space. We show ...
  • One-way spillovers, endogenous innovator/imitator roles, and research joint ventures 
    Amir R; Wooders John (Academic Press Inc, 2000)
    We consider a two-period duopoly characterized by a one-way spillover structure in process R&D and a very broad specification of product market competition. We show that a priori identical firms always engage in different ...
  • On the irrelevance of risk attitudes in repeated two-outcome games 
    Wooders John; Shachat J M (Academic Press Inc, 2001)
    We study equilibrium and maximin play in supergames consisting of the sequential play of a finite collection of stage games, where each stage game has two outcomes for each player. We show that for two-player supergames ...
  • On the role of the growth optimal portfolio in finance 
    Platen Eckhard (Blackwell Publishing, 2003)
    The paper discusses various roles that the growth optimal portfolio (GOP) plays in finance. For the case of a continuous market we show how the GOP can be interpreted as a fundamental building block in financial market ...
  • Optimal control of econometric models with autocorrelated disturbance terms 
    Pagan Adrian (Wiley-Blackwell, 1975)
    NA
  • Optimal prediction pools 
    Geweke John; Amisano Gianni (Elsevier Science Sa, 2011)
    We consider the properties of weighted linear combinations of prediction models, or linear pools, evaluated using the log predictive scoring rule. Although exactly one model has limiting posterior probability, an optimal ...
  • Order aggressiveness and order book dynamics 
    Hautsch Nikolaus; Hall Anthony (Optical Society of America, 2005)
    In this paper, we study the determinants of order aggressiveness and traders' order submission strategy in an open limit order book market. Applying an order classification scheme, we model the most aggressive market ...
  • Parameterizing unconditional skewness in models for Financial Time Series 
    He Changli; Silvennoinen Annastiina; Terasvirta Timo (Oxford University Press, 2008)
    In this paper we consider the third-moment structure of a class of time series models. It is often argued that the marginal distribution of financial time series such as returns is skewed. Therefore it is of importance to ...
  • Patents, research exemption, and the incentive for sequential innovation 
    Moschini Giancarlo; Yerokhin Oleg (Blackwell, 2008)
    We develop a quality ladder model to study the R&D incentive impacts of intellectual property rights with a ¿research exemption¿ or ¿experimental use¿ provision. The innovation process is sequential and cumulative and takes ...
