Modern and Traditional Methods for Measuring Money Supply: The Case of Saudi Arabia
(MDPI, 2015-02-25)This paper compares the “simple-sum” monetary aggregates (M1 and M2) published by the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency (SAMA) with the new monetary aggregates (D1 and D2)—known as the Divisia monetary indexes. The former ... -
Essays on Monotone Comparative Statics for Constrained Optimization Problems with Applications
(University of Kansas, 2014-08-31)My dissertation consists of three chapters. Chapters 1 and 2 both address extensions to existing monotone comparative statics results for constrained optimization problems using lattice programming techniques. Chapter 3 ... -
Essays in Environmental Economics
(University of Kansas, 2014-08-31)This dissertation is generally interested in policy and pollution-relevant questions within the field of environmental economics, focusing either on regulated firms' behavior or individuals' reactions. The first chapter ... -
Direct Investment in Conservation Measures by a Public Utility
(International Association for Energy Economics, 1987-01-01)During the period 1978-1980, public policy toward U.S.-regulated utilities mandated residential conservation programs. Public utilities encouraged residential customers to invest in home conservation measures to help meet ... -
Enforcement of Environmental Protection Laws under Communism and Democracy
(University of Chicago Press, 1997-10-01)Lax enforcement of environmental protection laws in the formerly communist countries of Eastern and Central Europe is offered as one contributing factor to the large‐scale environmental degradation that these countries ... -
Comparative Statics When the Objective Function Is Concave: Old Wine in Old Bottles?
(University of Chicago Press, 1972-11-01)See article for abstract. -
An Economic Model of a Professional Sports League
(The University of Chicago Press, 1971-10-01)See article for abstract. -
A Simple Proof of the Ramsey Savings Equation
(Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 1978-01-01)See article for abstract. -
Optimal Use of Information in Litigation: Should Regulatory Information Be Withheld to Deter Frivolous Suits?
(RAND, 1997-03-01)We examine the value of incorporating regulatory information into the court liability decision and making it publicly available when the causality of harm is uncertain. Public access to regulatory information, coupled with ... -
Optimal Mix of Penalties in a Principal-Agent Model under Different Institutional Arrangements
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology Press, 2000-03-13)This paper uses principal-agent theory to examine the optimal mix of monetary- and resource-based penalties in two institutional settings: a market economy and a centrally planned economy. In a centrally planned economy, ... -
Countervailing effects of atrazine on water recreation: How do recreators evaluate them?
(American Geophysical Union, 2003-03-02)This paper examines the countervailing effects of atrazine on water recreational choices. The presence of atrazine in waterbodies potentially reduces the symptoms of eutrophication, which is a condition of low water quality ... -
The Evolution of Economies of Scale Regarding Pollution Control: Cross-Sectional Evidence from a Transition Economy
(North American Business Press, 2011-01-01)This paper assesses whether firms face economies and/or diseconomies of scale with respect to air pollution control by evaluating the effects of production on firm-level air emission levels. To achieve this objective, this ... -
Lipschitzian Solutions of Perturbed Nonlinear Programming Problems
(Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 1986-01-01)We prove that if a second order sufficient condition and a constraint regularity assumption hold, then for sufficiently small perturbations of the constraints and the objective function, the set of local minimizers reduces ... -
Smooth Normal Approximations of epi-Lipschitzian subsets of R(n)*
(Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 1999-01-01)See article for abstract. -
A Review of "Natural Resources: Bureaucratic Myths and Environmental Management"

The examination of residual plots
(Academia Sinica, Institute of Statistical Science, 1998-01-01)Linear and squared residual plots are proposed to assess nonlinearity and heteroscedasticity in regression diagnostics. It is shown that linear residual plots are useful for diagnosing nonlinearity and squared residual ... -
Denoised least squares estimators: An application to estimating advertising effectiveness
(Academia Sinica, Institute of Statistical Science, 2000-01-01)It is known in marketing science that an advertiser under- or overspends millions of dollars on advertising because the estimation of advertising effectiveness is biased. This bias is induced by measurement noise in ... -
Nonparametric estimation of additive nonlinear ARX time series: Local Linear Fitting and Projections
(Cambridge University Press, 2000-08-01)We consider the estimation and identification of the components (endogenous and exogenous) of additive nonlinear ARX time series models. We employ a local polynomial fitting scheme coupled with projections. We establish ... -
Regression quantiles for time series
(Cambridge University Press, 2002-02-01)In this paper we study nonparametric estimation of regression quantiles for time series data by inverting a weighted Nadaraya–Watson (WNW) estimator of conditional distribution function, which was first used by Hall, Wolff, ... -
Nonparametric estimation of varying coefficient dynamic panel models
(Cambridge University Press, 2008-10-01)We suggest using a class of semiparametric dynamic panel data models to capture individual variations in panel data. The model assumes linearity in some continuous/discrete variables that can be exogenous/endogenous and ...
