Modelling the distribution of returns on higher education: A microsimulation approach

Courtioux, Pierre; Gregoir, Stéphane; Houeto, Dede - In: Economic Modelling 38 (2014) C, pp. 328-340

Cost-sharing policies for higher education have been implemented in several countries in various ways. We argue that to assess their appropriateness and facilitate their implementation it is necessary to develop statistical indicators of the distribution of returns. When starting a higher...

The impact of population ageing on energy use: Evidence from Italy

Garau, Giorgio; Lecca, Patrizio; Mandras, Giovanni - In: Economic Modelling 35 (2013) C, pp. 970-980

In this study we evaluate the impact of demographic change on energy use. The results are obtained from calibrated overlapping generations general equilibrium model for Italy. Contrary to studies based on partial equilibrium regression models, or fixed price models that are unable to account for...

Population ageing and the labour market: Modelling size and age-specific effects

Lisenkova, Katerina; Mérette, Marcel; Wright, Robert - In: Economic Modelling 35 (2013) C, pp. 981-989

This paper presents a dynamic Overlapping Generations Computable General Equilibrium (OLG-CGE) model of Scotland. The model is used to examine the impact of population ageing on the labour market. More specifically, it is used to evaluate the effects of labour force decline and labour force...

Can sustained economic growth and declining population coexist?

Elgin, Ceyhun; Tumen, Semih - In: Economic Modelling 29 (2012) 5, pp. 1899-1908

Most of the developed countries have been experiencing sub-replacement fertility. This leads to worries over the sustainability of economic growth in these countries. Given this concern, we ask the following questions: Is there a force that would allow economic growth and declining population to...

Can the ageing North benefit from expanding trade with the South?

Georges, Patrick; Lisenkova, Katerina; Mérette, Marcel - In: Economic Modelling 35 (2013) C, pp. 990-998

In this paper we estimate the benefit for the ageing North countries of diversifying some of their trade away from other North countries in favour of South countries. To this end we use a six-region overlapping generations model that takes into account the demographic trends of the 21st century...

Urbanization and renewable and non-renewable energy consumption in OECD countries: An empirical analysis

Salim, Ruhul A.; Shafiei, Sahar - In: Economic Modelling 38 (2014) C, pp. 581-591

This article aims to analyse the impact of urbanization on renewable and non-renewable energy consumption in OECD …, urbanization and population density are found to be significant factors, particularly with respect to non-renewable energy … consumption. The results also reveal that while total population and urbanization positively influence non-renewable energy …

Regional divergence and club convergence in India

Ghosh, Madhusudan; Ghoshray, Atanu; Malki, Issam - In: Economic Modelling 30 (2013) C, pp. 733-742

This paper examines regional divergence in income across different states in India, and estimates convergence clubs endogenously. The paper makes two useful contributions. First, the data is analyzed using a novel method due to Phillips and Sul (2007) leading to different conclusions in...

Dynamic transmission effects between the interest rate, the US dollar, and gold and crude oil prices

Wang, Yu Shan; Chueh, Yen Ling - In: Economic Modelling 30 (2013) C, pp. 792-798

This paper shows that in the short term both gold and crude oil prices positively influence each other. Interest rates have a negative influence on the future gold prices and a positive influence on the future crude oil prices. In the long run, a relationship exists whereby interest rates...

Stock market response to monetary and fiscal policy shocks: Multi-country evidence

Chatziantoniou, Ioannis; Duffy, David; Filis, George - In: Economic Modelling 30 (2013) C, pp. 754-769

A Structural VAR model is employed to investigate the effects of monetary and fiscal policy shocks on stock market performance in Germany, UK and the US. A significant number of past studies have concentrated their attention on the relationship between monetary policy and stock market...

Heterogeneous technology and the technological catching-up hypothesis: Theory and assessment in the case of MENA countries

Serranito, Francisco - In: Economic Modelling 30 (2013) C, pp. 685-697

Long run convergence implies that the convergence hypothesis will be rejected if the income differential is not stationary. However, this definition is valid only if the catching-up process between the two countries is already over. If we take into account catching-up dynamics, then poorest...
