Dynamic Spatial Panel Models : Networks, Common Shocks, and Sequential Exogeneity

Kuersteiner, Guido M. - 2015

This paper considers a class of GMM estimators for general dynamic panel models, allowing for cross sectional dependence due to spatial lags and due to unspecified common shocks. We significantly expand the scope of the existing literature by allowing for endogenous spatial weight matrices,...

One-Sided Private Provision of Public Goods with Implicit Lindahl Pricing

Meier, Volker - 2011

We consider a sequential game in which one player produces a public good and the other player can influence this decision by making an unconditional transfer. An efficient allocation requires the Lindahl property: the sum of the two (implicit) individual prices has to be equal to the resource...

Expected Net Present Value, Expected Net Future Value, and the Ramsey Rule

Gollier, Christian - 2013

Weitzman (1998) showed that when future interest rates are uncertain, using the expected net present value implies a term structure of discount rates that is decreasing to the smallest possible interest rate. On the contrary, using the expected net future value criterion implies an increasing...
