  • Exploring the Usefulness of a Nonrandom Holdout Sample for Model Validation: Welfare Effects on Female Behavior 
    Wolpin Kenneth; Keane Michael (Blackwell Science, 2001)

    Di Guilmi Corrado; Gallegati Mauro; Landini S (Edward Elgar, 2010)
    In recent decades, a considerable stream of research, following the complexity approach (Rosser, 2004), has developed a series of models that import concepts and tools from hard sciences to economics. They represent an ...
  • Financial Markets and the Macroeconomy: A Keynesian Perspective 
    Chiarella Carl; Flaschel Peter; Franke Reiner; Semmler Willi (Routledge, 2009)
    The financial instability and its spillover to the real sector have become a great challenge to macro-economic theory. The book takes a Keynesian theoretical perspective, representing an attempt to revive what Keynes ...

    Geweke John; Runkle D (Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, 1995)
    Almost everyone would agree--even we in the Federal Reserve System--that monetary policy can be improved. But improving it requires accurate empirical descriptions of the current policy and the relationship between that ...
