A disaggregated model of world production and trade: An estimate of the impact of the Tokyo Round
(Elsevier, 1981-05)
We present in this paper a computational model of world production, trade, and employment that is disaggregated by country and sector and report on the application of the model to the changes in tariffs and quantifiable ...
Centralization of school finance in Michigan

School finance reform in Michigan involved centralization (at the state level) of spending decisions about schools, a large tax shift (mostly from property to sales), and a small tax cut. The changes came about after two ...
Input-output technologies and the effects of tariff reductions
(Elsevier, 1985)
Using input-output (IO) tables from several developed countries (United States, EEC, and Japan) and one developing country (Brazil), we calculate the effects of tariff removal using various combinations of these tables to ...
Impulse response analysis in vector autoregressions with unknown lag order
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2001-04)
We show that the effects of overfitting and underfitting a vector autoregressive (VAR) model are strongly asymmetric for VAR summary statistics involving higher-order dynamics (such as impulse response functions, variance ...
Averting expenditure and the cost of pollution
(Elsevier, 1981-12)
The paper considers the relationship between the willingness to pay for environmental quality and averting expenditures--that is, the costs of measures undertaken in efforts to counteract the consequences of pollution. The ...
Neighborhood effects of developing country protection
(Elsevier, 1986-05)

Lorenz curves, inequality, and social welfare under changing population composition
(Elsevier, 1988-04)
This paper analyzes the effects of population growth and other demographic changes on the distribution of income by examining Lorenz curves and generalized Lorenz curves produced from combinations of income distributions. ...
Declining inequality in schooling in Brazil and its effects on inequality in earnings
(Elsevier, 1991-11)
Household survey data demonstrate that Brazilian males born between 1925 and 1963 experienced steady increases in mean schooling and significant declines in schooling inequality. The variance in years of schooling increased ...
