Ability, location and household demand for Internet bandwidth

Savage Sj; Waldman Donald (Elsevier Science Bv, 2009)

This paper examines consumer preferences for Internet bandwidth, focusing on technical ability and urban/rural location as sources of preference heterogeneity. An economic model is outlined that shows that ability decreases ...
The Accord and Strikes: An International Perspective

Perry Leonard; Wilson Patrick (Centre for Labour Market Research, 2001)

This exploratory paper examines the relationship between Australian and world strike activity between 1960 and 1998. Appropriate indices are constructed for which evidence of a long-run equilibrium relation is found ...
Accounting for the effects of new and disappearing goods using scanner data

Melser Daniel (Wiley, 2006)

With the ¿discovery¿ of scanner data by statistical agencies and researchers comes a wealth of new information upon which price index calculations can be based. Old problems, such as the appearance and disappearance of ...
Accounting for the Growth of MNC-Based Trade Using a Structural Model of U.S. MNCs

Feinberg Susan; Keane Michael (American Economic Association, 2006)

In recent decades, U.S. foreign trade grew much faster than GDP, but there is no consensus why. Notably lacking is an understanding of the role of multinational corporations (MNCs), which mediate over half of world trade. ...
Adapting portfolio theory for the evaluation of multiple investments in health with as multiplicative extension for treatment synergies

Stewart, M.; Bridges, J. F; Van Gool, K.; King, M. (Springer Science and Business Media Inc, 2005)

Portfolio theory is central to the analysis of risk in many areas of economics but is seldom used appropriately in health economics. This contribution examines the use of portfolio theory in the context of cost-effec ...
Addressing two critical MDGs together: gender in water, sanitation and hygiene initiatives

Willetts Juliet; Halcrow Gabrielle; Carrard Naomi; Rowland Claire; Crawford John (Asia Pacific Press, 2010)

Increasing access to water, sanitation and hygiene education and advancing gender equality are critical issues for Pacific island nations. This article proposes that water, sanitation and hygiene issues and gender equality ...
Advances in Logistics and the Growth of Intra-Firm Trade: The Case of Canadian Affiliates of U.S. Multinationals 1984-1995

Feinberg Susan; Keane Michael (Braybrooke Press, 2005)

Intra-firm trade in intermediates between U.S. multinational parents (MNCs) and their Canadian manufacturing affiliates increased dramatically in the 1984–1995 period (i.e., it roughly doubled). Tariff and transport ...
Alternative Computational Approaches to Statistical Inference In The Multinomial Probit Model

Geweke John; Keane Michael; Runkle D (Mit Press, 1994)

This research compares several approaches to inference in the multinomial probit model, based on two Monte Carlo experiments for a seven choice model. The methods compared are the simulated maximum likelihood estimator ...
American Call Options Under Jump-Diffusion Processes - A Fourier Transform Approach

Chiarella Carl; Ziogas Andrew (Routledge, 2009)

We consider the American option pricing problem in the case where the underlying asset follows a jump-diffusion process. We apply the method of Jamshidian to transform the problem of solving a homogeneous integro-partial ...
An analysis of the cobweb model with boundedly rational heterogeneous producers

He Xuezhong; Chiarella Carl; Zhu Peiyuan; Hung Hing (Elsevier, 2003)

This paper considers the traditional cobweb model with heterogenous risk averse producers whose supply functions involve their estimates of the conditional mean and variance of the future price. The producers seek to ...
An analysis of the general practice access scheme on GP incomes, bulk billing and consumer copayments

Jones Glenn; Savage Elizabeth (Blackwell Publishing, 2003)

In response to falling rates of bulk billing, in April 2003 the Australian Government proposed changes to the way that general practitioners (GPs) are reimbursed. It claimed that the General Practice Access Scheme ...
Annuitization and asset allocation with HARA utility

Kingston Geoffrey; Thorp Susan (Cambridge University Press, 2005)

A new explanation for the well-known reluctance of retirees to buy life annuities is due to Milevsky and Young (2002, 2003): Since the decision to purchase longevity insurance is largely irreversible, in uncertain ...
Antithetic Acceleration of Monte Carlo Integration in Bayesian Inference

Geweke John (Elsevier Science Publishers B.V., 1988)

It is proposed to sample antithetically rather than randomly from the posterior density in Bayesian inference using Monte Carlo integration. Conditions are established under which the number of replications required with ...
The Approximate Slopes of Econometric Tests

Geweke John (Wiley-Blackwell, 1981)

Abstract: In this paper the concept of approximate slope, introduced by R. R. Bahadur, is used to make asymptotic global power comparisons of econometric tests. The approximate slope of a test is the rate at which the ...
Approximation of Jump Diffusions in Finance and Economics

Platen Eckhard; Bruti Liberati Nicola (Springer, 2006)

In finance and economics the key dynamics are often specified via stochastic differential equations (SDEs) of jump-diffusion type. The class of jump-diffusion SDEs that admits explicit solutions is rather limited. ...
Are Economic Forecasts Rational?

Keane Michael; Runkle D (Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, 1989)

his paper discusses at an undergraduate level how forecast rationality can be tested. It explains that forecasters should correctly use any relevant information they knew in making their predictions. It shows that forecast ...
Are Financial Analysts Forecasts Of Corporate Profits Rational?

Keane Michael; Runkle De (Univ Chicago Press, 1998)

This paper develops generalized method-of-moments tests for the rationality of earnings per share forecasts made by individual stock analysts. We fail to reject the hypothesis of rationality as long as we take into account ...
Are gamblers really risk takers

Bird Ronald; Mccrae M; Beggs J (Australian Economic Papers, 1987)

This paper examines the attitudes of gamblers to risk as displayed by their betting behaviour on horse races. Although traditional economic theory assumes that individuals are averse to risk, numerous authors (e.g. Ali ...
Assessing policies to equalise opportunity using an equilibrium model of educational and occupational choices

Keane Michael; Roemer Je (Elsevier Science Sa, 2009)

The inter-generational correlation of education in the U.S. is tremendous. For instance, in PSID data from 1990, young males with college-educated parents had a 70% chance of attending college. But those with high school ...
