A Review of "Natural Resources: Bureaucratic Myths and Environmental Management"
(Southern Economic Association, 1985-01-01)No abstract is available for this item. -
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 ... -
Learning and the Behavior of Potential Entrants
(RAND, 1984-06-01)The possibility of cost reduction through learning by gathering experience is important in many industries where organizational efficiency in production and management is an important determinant of costs. In these industries, ... -
Random sets and confidence procedures
(Rocky Mountain Mathematics Consortium, 1979-06-01)No abstract is available for this item. -
The Differential Approach to Superlative Index Number Theory
(Cambridge University Press, 2003-09-01)Diewert’s “superlative” index numbers, defined to be exact for second-order aggregator functions, unify index number theory with aggregation theory but have been difficult to identify. We present a new approach to finding ... -
Ownership Structure in Foreign Direct Investment Projects
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology Press, 2001-03-13)This paper theoretically and empirically examines ownership structure in foreign direct investment (FDI) projects. We show that in choosing an ownership structure, foreign investors, local entrepreneurs, and government ... -
The Union-Nonunion Wage Differential: A Replication and Extension
(Wiley, 1982-04-01) -
The Construction Wage Determination Process in the 1970's
(School of Business, University of Kansas, 1982)Review of wage determination in the US construction industry in the 1970's with regression estimation of various effects. -
Funding and the Future of U.S. Public Research Universities
(MIT Press Journals, 2010-03-01)Innovation through research is a critical element to a nation's success in the highly competitive global marketplace. University research provides the base from which an important part of the most competitive innovations ... -
An Equilibrium Approach to the Aggregation of Beliefs
(Brill, 2013-06-01)This paper presents a new answer to the old question of how to aggregate individual beliefs. We construct a model which allows agents to take arbitrage opportunities against the aggregated belief by making contingent claims ... -
A Closed Form Characterization of the Stationary Outcome in Multilateral Bargaining
(Brill, 2013-03-01)In this paper we consider infinite horizon multilateral bargaining with alternate offers. We prove that there exists only one stationary subgame perfect equilibrium outcome and it corresponds to the unique invariantmeasure ... -
CISC controls and the union/non-union wage ratio
(Elsevier, 1984-06) -
Nonparametric Tests of Moment Condition Stability
(Cambridge University Press, 2013-02-01)This paper considers testing for moment condition instability for a wide variety of models that arise in econometric applications. We propose a nonparametric test based on smoothing the moment conditions over time. The ... -
Standards and Infrastructure for Innovation Data Exchange
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2012-10-12)Economic growth relies in part on efficient advancement and application of research and development (R&D) knowledge. This requires access to data about science, in particular R&D inputs and outputs such as grants, patents, ... -
Race, Ethnicity, and NIH Research Awards
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2011-08-19)We investigated the association between a U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) R01 applicant’s self-identified race or ethnicity and the probability of receiving an award by using data from the NIH IMPAC II grant ... -
The Evolution of Economies of Scale Regarding Pollution Control: Cross-Sectional Evidence from a Transition Economy
(North American Business Press, 2011)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 ...
