This paper is a study of money in overlapping generations models with cash-in-advance constraints. We first offer a brief review of different features of cash-in-advance constraint. Then we propose a general formulation and study the neutrality of money. We show that both neutrality and...

This paper is concerned with the empirical investigation of models of the US short term interest rate, using a mixture of classical non-parametric methods and of Bayesian parametric methods. The shape of the drift and volatility functions of the usual diffusion equation are first investigated...

A two-stage game is used in this paper to model a long-run market with spatially separated producers and with multi-period demands: first, firmas simultaneously and independently invest their capacities; second, after capacities are set up in the first stage and made public, firms engage in a...

This paper develops a family of autoregressive conditional duration (ACD) models that encompasses most specifications in the literature. The nesting relies on a Box-Cox transformation with shape parameter to the conditional duration process and a possibly asymmetric shocks impact curve.
