An econometric analysis of some models for constructed binary time series

Harding Don; Pagan Adrian (American Statistical Association, 2011)

Macroeconometric and financial researchers often use binary data constructed in a way that creates serial dependence. We show that this dependence can be allowed for if the binary states are treated as Markov processes. ...

Economics and the marriage wars

Menzies Gordon; Hay Donald (Association of Christian Economists, 2008)

We critique the economic analysis of marriage and divorce descending from Becker (1981): we call this the "economic" approach. Marriage is based on the "productive" gains available from specialization in market production ...
Economic significance of the predictable movements in futures returns

Miffre, J. (Blackwell Publishing, 2004)

This paper tests whether the variation in expected futures returns reflects rational pricing in an efficient market or weak-form market inefficiency. The issue is investigated by looking at the abnormal performance of ...
The economic value of informal care: a study of informal caregivers' and patients' willingness to pay and willingness to accept for informal care

Bleichrodt Han; Van Den Berg Bernard; Eeckhoudt Louis (Lawrence Erlbaum Association, 2005)

We provide a new test of the feasibility of using contingent valuation to value informal care. We start with a theoretical model of informal caregiving and derive that willingness to pay depends positively on wealth ...
Educational Concepts For Design Lecturers

Thompson Darrall (Faculty of Design, Architecture and Building UTS, 2003)

WHILE DESIGN LECTURERS may feel confident in an educational context because of their grounding in professional design practice, it is sometimes painfully obvious that not all designers are good teachers. Perhaps more ...
The effect of a public health card program on the supply of health care

Johar Meliyanni (Pergamon, 2010)

The supply-side responsiveness to public programs targeted to consumers is not widely studied. However, it is unlikely that supply variables remain constant, particularly when their link to the demand initiative is weak. ...
The Effect of Group Affiliation on the Risk-Taking Of Japanese Firms

Nguyen Pascal; Nivoix Sophie (Taylor and Francis, 2009)

This article examines the role of keiretsu (i.e. business group) affiliation on the risk-taking of Japanese firms. We find that total risk, measured by firm-level stock price volatility, is not significantly affected by ...
The effect of home computer use on children's cognitive and non-cognitive skills

Keane, M. P; Wolpin, K. I (Blackwell Synergy, 2003)
The effects of inflation and the business cycle on revisions of macroeconomic data

Bajada Christopher (Blackwell Publishing, 2005)

Although national accounts data provide the most comprehensive overview of economic activity, preliminary estimates are subject to much revision before they are regarded as reliable indicators. Oddly enough, the ...
Effects of one-way spillovers on market shares, industry price, welfare, and R & D cooperation

Amir R; Wooders John (M I T Press, 1999)

With one-way spillovers, the standard symmetric two-period R & D model leads to an asymmetric equilibrium only, with endogeneous innovator and imitator roles. We show how R & D decisions and measures of firm heterogeneity-market ...
Efficiency in Second-Price Auctions: A New Look at Old Data

Garratt R J; Wooders John (Springer, 2010)

Experiments on second-price sealed-bid private value auctions have established that subjects typically bid more than their value, despite the fact that value bidding is a dominant strategy in such auctions. Moreover, the ...
Efficient estimation of models with composite disturbance terms

Pagan Adrian (Elsevier Science Publishers B.V., 1973)
