CONSUMER PREFERENCES AS DRIVERS OF THE COMMON BEAN TRADE IN TANZANIA: A MARKETING PERSPECTIVE

Mishili, Fulgence J.; Temu, Anna A.; Fulton, Joan; … - Department of Agricultural Economics, Purdue University - 2009

The objective of this study was to determine the impact of bean grain quality characteristics on market price. The data was collected from retail markets in Tanzania. Hedonic pricing provides a statistical estimate of premiums and discounts. Implications for development of bean markets include:...

A Refinement of Perfect Equilibria Based On Substitute Sequences

Aliprantis, C. D.; Topolyan, I. - Krannert School of Management, Purdue University - 2009

We propose an equilibrium refinement of strict perfect equilibrium for the finite normal form games, which is not known in the literature. Okada came up with the idea of strict perfect equilibrium by strengthening the main definition of a perfect equilibrium, due to Selten [14]. We consider the...

Unit Roots, Level Shifts and Trend Breaks in Per Capita Output: A Robust Evaluation

Kejriwal, Mohitosh; Lopez, Claude - Krannert School of Management, Purdue University - 2009

Determining whether per capita output can be characterized by a stochastic trend is complicated by the fact that infrequent breaks in trend can bias standard unit root tests towards non-rejection of the unit root hypothesis. The bulk of the existing literature has focused on the application of...

Continuity and Equilibrium Stability

Aliprantis, C. D.; Topolyan, I. - Krannert School of Management, Purdue University - 2009

This paper discusses the problem of stability of equilibrium points in normal form games in the tremling-hand framework. An equilibrium point is called perffect if it is stable against at least one seqence of trembles approaching zero. A strictly perfect equilibrium point is stable against every...

Existence of Perfect Equilibria: A Direct Proof

Topolyan, I. - Krannert School of Management, Purdue University - 2009

We formulate and prove a modification of Eilenberg-Montgomery fixed-point theorem, which is a generalization of Kakutani’s theorem. It enables us to provide a direct proof of the existence of perfect equilibria in finite normal form games and extensive games with perfect recall. We construct a...

Cellulosic Biofuels Analysis: Economic Analysis of Alternative Technologies

Rismiller, Craig W.; Tyner, Wallace E. - Department of Agricultural Economics, Purdue University - 2009

The passage of U.S. laws mandating and subsidizing advanced cellulosic biofuels may spur the development of a commercial cellulosic biofuels industry. However, a cellulosic industry will only develop if the overall economics including government incentives render investment in the sector...

A SPATIAL ECONOMETRIC STAR MODEL WITH AN APPLICATION TO U.S. COUNTY ECONOMIC GROWTH, 1969-2003

Pede, Valerien O. - Department of Agricultural Economics, Purdue University - 2009

Spatial regression models incorporating non-stationarity in the regression coefficients are popular. We propose a spatial variant of the Smooth Transition AutoRegressive (STAR) model that is more parsimonious than commonly used approaches and endogenously determines the extent of spatial...
