The Role of Institutional Support in Energy Technology Diffusion in Rural China

Groenendaal, Willem van; Zhang, X.L. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2001

In the past China's rural areas, home to 70% of its population, suffered energy shortages.China's indigenous energy resources are limited, with the exception of coal.The widespread use of coal requires large investments in production and transport -making it costly-, and degrades the...

Opinions on Tax Deductions and the Consensus Effect in a Survey-Experiment

van der Heijden, Eline; nelissen, jan; Potters, Jan - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2004

We present the results of a survey-experiment using a representative sample of the Dutch population in which we relate respondents' opinion about the tax deductibility of mortgages to their estimates about other people's opinion.The experiment employs three treatment variables: monetary...

Scrap Value Functions in Dynamic Decision Problems

Magnus, Jan R.; Ikefuji, M.; Laeven, R.J.A.; Muris, C.H.M. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2010

We introduce an accurate, easily implementable, and fast algorithm to compute optimal decisions in discrete-time long-horizon welfaremaximizing problems. The algorithm is useful when interest is only in the decisions up to period T, where T is small. It relies on a flexible parametrization of...

Iteration Capping For Discrete Choice Models Using the EM Algorithm

Kabátek, Jan - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2013

The Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm is a well-established estimation procedure which is used in many domains of econometric analysis. Recent application in a discrete choice framework (Train, 2008) facilitated estimation of latent class models allowing for very exible treatment of...

Simulation-Based Solution of Stochastic Mathematical Programs with Complementarity Constraints : Sample-Path Analysis

Ilker Birbil, S.; Gürkan, G.; Listes, O.L. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2004

We consider a class of stochastic mathematical programs with complementarity constraints, in which both the objective and the constraints involve limit functions or expectations that need to be estimated or approximated.Such programs can be used for modeling average or steady-state behavior of...

On the Nucleolus of Neighbour Games

Hamers, H.J.M.; Klijn, F.; Solymosi, T.; Tijs, S.H.; … - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 1999

The class of neighbour games is the intersection of the class of assignment games (cf. Shapley and Shubik (1972)) and the class of component additive games (cf. Curiel et al. (1994)). For assignment games and component additive games there exist polynomially bounded algorithms of order p4 for...

Introducing CO2 Allowances, Higher Prices For All Consumers; Higher Revenues For Whom?

Gurkan, G.; Langestraat, R.; Ozdemir, O. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2013

demand), we show that at the equilibrium either one or a mixture of two technologies is used. Such a mixture consists of a … observed demand, this fixed merit order is used to determine the total number of technologies used so that all demand is …, different demand levels impose different prices for a unit of emission allowance, and consequently there is no fixed merit order …

On Adjusting the H-P Filter for the Frequency of Observations

Uhlig, H.F.H.V.S.; Ravn, M. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 1997

This paper studies how the HP-Filter should be adjusted, when changing the frequency of observations. The usual choices in the literature are to adjust the smoothing parameter by multiplying it with either the square of the observation frequency ratios or simply with the observation frequency....

Random Matching Models and Money : The Global Structure and Approximation of Stationary Equilibria

Talman, Dolf; Kamiya, K. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2003

Random matching models with different states are an important class of dynamic games; for example, money search models, job search models, and some games in biology are special cases.In this paper, we investigate the basic structure of the models: the existence of equilibria, the global...

Computation of the Nash Equilibrium Selected by the Tracing Procedure in N-Person Games

Herings, P.J.J.; van den Elzen, A.H. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 1998

Harsanyi and Selten (1988) have proposed a theory of equilibrium selection that selects a unique Nash equilibrium for … any non-cooperative N-person game. The heart of their theory is given by the tracing procedure, a mathematical … algorithms, it is easily implemented on a computer. To show our results we apply methods from the theory of simplicial algorithms …
