We show that optimal public transport subsidy is sensitive to the use of alternative user cost models, and that a model based on cost minimisation principles may lead to an improvement in subsidy estimates. For the case of homogeneous consumers and non-peaked demand, the cost minimisation user...

Timber supply has traditionally been modelled using aggregate data. In this paper, we build aggregate supply models for four roundwood products for the US state of North Carolina from a stand-level harvest choice model applied to detailed forest inventory. The simulated elasticities of pulpwood...

In the current paper, a one-sided version of a small sample correction to AIC is derived. This criterion will be based upon a two-sided model selection cretirion called AICs developed by Sugiura (1978) and studied in detail by Hurvich and Tsai (1989, 1991).

This paper describes a dynamic microsimulation model of cohort earnings developed to consider redistribution during the working-lifetime in Australia. Microsimulation models were first used for economic analysis by Orcutt (1957), and are now commonly employed to undertake policy analyses in many...

We review and interpret the main theoretical developments in the gravity literature from its very early, a-theoretical applications to the latest structural contributions. We also discuss challenges and implement methods to estimate empirical gravity equations. We finish with a presentation and...

Artículo de revista ; This article analyses the recent performance of the main Latin American economies (Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Chile and Peru). Economic developments in the region have progressively been influenced by the global spread of the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic....
