Statistical Analysis of Choice Experiments and Surveys
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science + Business Media, Inc., 2005-12)
Measures of households' past behavior, their expectations with respect to future events and contingencies, and their intentions with respect to future behavior are frequently collected using household surveys. These questions ...
Testing the imports-as-market-discipline hypothesis
(Elsevier, 1993-08)
It has long been believed that intensified international competition forces domestic firms to behave more competitively. Using Turkish data spanning the course of a dramatic trade liberalization, this notion is tested.
Firless firwoes: How preferences can interfere with the theorems of international trade
(Elsevier, 1986-02)
An example is presented of a two-country, two-factor, four-good trade model in which free trade causes factor prices to be drawn farther apart than they were in autarky. The example is equivalent to a two-good model with ...
The possibility of factor price equalization, revisited
(Elsevier, 1994-02)
This paper derives a condition for factor price equalization (FPE) in a Heckscher-Ohlin model with many goods, factors, and countries. Using Dixit and Norman's integrated world economy (IWE), two sets, called lenses, are ...
The appropriate extent of intellectual property rights in art
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1995-06)

Identifying the competition
(Elsevier, 1990-05)

Strategic trade policy when firms can invest abroad: When are tariffs and quotas equivalent?
(Elsevier, 1989-08)
This paper investigates the equivalence of tariffs and quotas when the market in question is imperfectly competitive and open to direct foreign investment. The absence of a foreign supply response under a quota, so critical ...
Weak links in the chain of comparative advantage
(Elsevier, 1979-05)
This paper examines the proposition that trade in many commodities can be explained by a chain of comparative advantage. It is first shown, in a two-country, two-factor model, that trade accords with the ranking of goods ...
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 ...
