    • Power functions and envelopes for unit root tests 

      Juhl, Ted P.; Xiao, Zhijie (CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS, 2003-04)
      This paper studies power functions and envelopes for covariate augmented unit root tests. The power functions are calculated by integrating the characteristic function, allowing accurate evaluation of the power envelope ...

    • Partially linear models with unit roots 

      Juhl, Ted P.; Xiao, Zhijie (CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS, 2005-10)
      This paper studies the asymptotic properties of a nonstationary partially linear regression model. In particular, we allow for covariates to enter the unit root (or near unit root) model in a nonparametric fashion, so that ...

    • Structural inference with long-run recursive empirical models 

      Keating, John W. (Cambridge University Press, 2002-04)
      This paper investigates conditions under which a long-run recursive model can be used to identify a structure. Economists frequently employ this type of empirical model. I define the class of long-run partially recursive ...

    • Discount factors and thresholds: Foreign investment when enforcement is imperfect 

      Asiedu, Elizabeth; Villamil, Anne P. (Cambridge University Press, 2000)
      We consider a model that provides insight into the well-known Folk theorem in economics that when the discount factor beta is sufficiently close to 1, expropriation will never occur. Although this Folk theorem is true in ...

    • Imperfect enforcement, foreign investment, and foreign aid 

      Asiedu, Elizabeth; Villamil, Anne P. (Cambridge University Press, 2002-09)
      The lack of a supranational legal authority that can enforce private contracts across borders makes debt repayment in an international setting contingent on borrowers' willingness to pay rather than ability to pay. This ...

    • An interview with Paul A. Samuelson 

      Barnett, William A.; Samuelson, Paul A. (Cambridge University Press, 2004-09)

    • Agricultural labor productivity in the Lower South, 1720-1800 

      Rosenbloom, Joshua L.; Mancall, Peter C.; Weiss, Thomas (ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2002-10)
      The primary factor determining the rate of economic growth in 18th-century British America was the pace of improvement in agricultural productivity. This paper examines agricultural productivity advance in the Lower South ...

    • Capital controls and foreign direct investment 

      Asiedu, Elizabeth; Lien, Donald (PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2004-03)
      This paper examines the effect of three types of capital control policies on FDI (a) the existence of multiple exchange rates; (b) restrictions on capital account, and (c) restrictions on the repatriation of export proceeds. ...

    • On the local interaction of money and credit 

      Jin, Yi; Temzelides, Ted (ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2004-01)
      We study the coexistence of monetary and credit transactions in a model where exchange is decentralized. Agents belong to different locations which are informationally separated. The equilibrium mix of monetary and credit ...

    • Strategy-proofness versus efficiency in exchange economies: General domain properties and applications 

      Ju, Biung-Ghi (SPRINGER-VERLAG, 2003-08)
      We identify general domain properties that induce the non-existence of efficient, strategy-proof, and non-dictatorial rules in the 2-agent exchange economy. Applying these properties, we establish impossibility results in ...

    • A characterization of strategy-proof voting rules for separable weak orderings 

      Ju, Biung-Ghi (SPRINGER-VERLAG, 2003-12)
      We consider the problem of choosing a subset of a finite set of indivisible objects (public projects, facilities, laws, etc.) studied by Barbera et al. (1991). Here we assume that agents' preferences are separable weak ...

    • Continuous selections from the Pareto correspondence and non-manipulability in exchange economies 

      Ju, Biung-Ghi (ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA, 2004-08)
      In n-agent exchange economies, we show that all efficient and continuous rules are "diagonally dictatorial" over the restricted domain of linear preferences and, in the 2-good case, over the domain of homothetic preferences. ...

    • Scholarly Communications is Not Toxic Waste : Lessons Learned 

      Shulenburger, David E. (EBIB, 2004)
      I will address the ecology of the scholarly communications system. This conference focuses on dramatically improving the effectiveness of that system by creating "open access to knowledge." In our efforts to do so we ...

    • Economics as if science mattered: the BioOne business model and the transformation of scholarly publishing 

      Fyffe, Richard; Shulenburger, David E. (2002-09)
      The BioOne database of scholarly journals in the biological and ecological sciences was established in the belief that broad and enduring access to scholarly literature is essential not just to the health of the scientific ...
