  • Schwartz Values Clusters in the United States and China 
    Lee Julie; Soutar Geoffrey; Daly Timothy; Louviere Jordan (Sage, 2011)
    People differ in the importance they place on values. However, most research has selected a few values and examined their relationships with one or more variable(s) of interest. The current research differs as it examined ...
  • Self and neighbours 
    Menzies Gordon; Hay Donald (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2012)
    The paper notes the findings of a panel survey in the USA to motivate a framework to model altruistic behaviour by members of faith communities. We posit an internal tension within agents to be oriented to self or to ...
  • Self-organization and the persistence of noise in financial markets 
    Goldbaum, David (Elsevier, 2003)
    A dynamic model of financial markets with learning is demonstrated to produce a selforganized system that displays critical behavior. The price contains private information that traders learn to extract and employ to ...
  • The shadow economies of the Asia-Pacific 
    Schneider Friedrich; Bajada Christopher (Blackwell Publishing, 2002)
    Despite continuous government attempts to increase taxpayer compliance, the shadow economy continues to offer a way for taxpayers to evade their taxpaying obligations. The consequences are dear: policy-makers have ...
  • Ship investment under uncertainty: valuing a real option on the maximum of several strategies 
    Stent Alan F; Bendall Helen (Routledge, 2003)
    This paper demonstrates the use of real option analysis to value the flexibility available to management decision making in introducing an express liner service using a new technology. The ship operator's decision is ...
  • The short run demand for transaction balances in Australia 
    Pagan Adrian; Volker P. (Wiley-Blackwell, 1981)
    A characteristic of much research in monetary economics in the last few years has been a preoccupation with the stability of the demand for money function, as failure of stability undermines some of the central features ...
  • A short-run econometric model of the Japanese wool textile industry 
    Carland J. D.; Pagan Adrian (Wiley, 1979)
    Few models of the Japanese wool textile industry have been constructed, despite the importance of the Japanese as the largest purchasers of Australian wool on a single-country basis. This paper constructs a twenty-five ...
  • A simple test for heteroscedasticity and random coefficient variation 
    Breusch T. S.; Pagan Adrian (Wiley-Blackwell, 1979)
    A simple test for heteroscedastic disturbances in a linear regression model is developed using the framework of the Lagrangian multiplier test. For a wide range of heteroscedastic and random coefficient specifications, the ...
  • Simulated Maximum Likelihood Estimation Based On First-Order Conditions 
    Keane Michael (Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2009)
    I describe a strategy for structural estimation that uses simulated maximum likelihood (SML) to estimate the structural parameters appearing in a model's first-order conditions (FOCs). Generalized method of moments (GMM) ...
  • Size And Determinants Of Shadow Economies In The Baltic States 
    Putnins Talis; Sauka A (Eurobaltic Centres Excellence, 2011)
    This study develops and estimates an index of the size of shadow economies in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, and analyses the factors that influence participation in the shadow sector. The index can be used to track shadow ...
  • Smoothly mixing regressions 
    Geweke John; Keane Michael (Elsevier Science Publishers B.V., 2007)
    This paper extends the conventional Bayesian mixture of normals model by permitting state probabilities to depend on observed covariates. The dependence is captured by a simple multinomial probit model. A conventional and ...
  • A smooth mixture of Tobits model for healthcare expenditure 
    Keane Michael; Stavrunova Olena (John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2011)
    This paper develops a smooth mixture of Tobits (SMTobit) model for healthcare expenditure. The model is a generalization of the smoothly mixing regressions framework of Geweke and Keane (J Econometrics 2007; 138: 257¿290) ...
  • Social networks and labor productivity in Europe: An empirical investigation 
    Di Guilmi Corrado; Clementi F; Di Matteo Tiziana; Gallegati Mauro (Springer, 2008)
    This paper uses firm-level data recorded in the Amadeus database to investigate the distribution of labour productivity in different European countries. We find that the upper tail of the empirical productivity distributions ...
  • Some consequences of viewing LIML as an iterated Aitken estimator 
    Pagan Adrian (Elsevier, 1979)
    This note demonstrates that LIML can be formulated as Zellner's SUR estimator. The result provides an analytic formula for LIML and its derived reduced form estimator, expresses LIML as the sum of 2SLS and a correction ...
  • Some identification and estimation results for regression models with stochastically varying parametres 
    Pagan Adrian (Elsevier Science Publishers B.V., 1980)
    Although various theoretical and applied papers have appeared in recent years concerned with the estimation and use of regression models with stochastically varying coefficients, little is available in the literature on ...
  • Some methods for assessing the need for non-linear models in business cycle analysis 
    Engel J; Haugh D; Pagan Adrian (Elsevier Science, 2005)
    It is often suggested that non-linear models are needed to capture business cycle features. In this paper, we subject this view to some critical analysis. We examine two types of non-linear models designed to capture the ...
  • Some notes on a dynamic model of international fishing 
    Hall Anthony; Szidarovszky Ferenc; Zhao Jijun (SAAS Publishing Ltd, 2005)
    The existence and uniqueness of the equilibrium in international fishing is first proved with nonlinear price and cost functions, and then a dynamic model is formulated describing the long-term behavior of the fish stock. ...
  • Some numerical explorations of the Keynes-Metzler-Goodwin monetary growth model 
    Chiarella Carl; Flaschel Peter (University of Dehli, 2010)
    We study numerically Keynes-Metzler-Goodwin growth, modelling households, firms and government as interacting across real and financial markets. The model allows for sluggish wage / price adjustment, disequilibrium on the ...
  • Sources of Advantageous Selection: Evidence from the Medigap Insurance market 
    Fang Hanming; Keane Michael; Silverman Dan (University of Chicago Press, 2008)
    We provide strong evidence of advantageous selection in the Medigap insurance market, and analyze its sources. Using Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS) data, we find that, conditional on controls for the price of ...
  • Sources of advantageous selection: Evidence using actual health expenditure risk 
    Johar Meliyanni; Savage Elizabeth (Elsevier, 2012)
    In a market where insurers are not allowed to risk rate, we find evidence of advantageous selection using observed health expenditure risk. Selection is driven by income and optimism about the future. This may explain ...
