Bliss, Christopher - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2002
A convergence model with wealth accumulation subject to i.i.d. random shocks is examined. The transfer function shows what k_{t+1} - wealth at t+1 - would be, given k_t, with no shock: It has a positive slope, but its concavity/convexity is indeterminate. The stationary distribution of wealth...

When are Supply and Demand Determined Recursively Rather than Simultaneously? Another look at the Fulton Fish Market Data
Graddy, Kathryn; Kennedy, Peter E. - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2006
When a supply and demand model is recursive, with errors uncorrelated across the two equations, ordinary least square (OLS) is the recommended estimation procedure. Supply to a daily fish market is determined by the previous night`s catch, so this would appear to be a good example of a recursive...
