Occupational Differences in Labor Market Integration: The U.S. in 1890
(Cambridge University Press, 1991-06)When labor markets are subject to large demand or supply shocks, as was the case in the late nineteenth-century United States, geographic wage differentials may not be an accurate index of market integration. This article ... -
Was There a National Labor Market at the End of the Nineteenth Century? New Evidence on Earnings in Manufacturing
(Cambridge University Press, 1996-09)Average annual earnings calculated from the census of manufactures are used to extend previous research on labor market integration in the United States. In contrast to earlier research examining occupational wage rates, ... -

Power functions and envelopes for unit root tests
(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
(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
(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
(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
