Identification through Heteroskedasticity : Measuring "Contagion
Rigobon, Roberto - 2000
In this paper, I develop a new identification method to solve the problem of simultaneous equations, based on heteroskedasticity of the structural shocks. I show that if the heteroskedasticity can be described as a two-regime process, then the system is just identified under relatively weak...

Investigating the Dynamic Effects of Counterfeits with a Random Changepoint Simultaneous Equation Model
Qian, Yi - 2011
Using a unique panel dataset and a new model, this article investigates the dynamic effects of counterfeit sales on authentic-product price dynamics. We propose a Bayesian random-changepoint simultaneous equation model that simultaneously takes into account three important features in empirical...

Comparative Statics in Markets for Indivisible Goods
Caplin, Andrew - 2010
We complete the study of comparative statics initiated in Caplin and Leahy [2010], which introduced a new mathematical apparatus for understanding NTU allocation markets, as such covering the housing market and other markets for large indivisible goods. We introduce homotopy methods to...

Growing State-Federal Conflicts in Environmental Policy : The Role of Market-Based Regulation
Williams, Roberton C, III. - 2010
In recent years, cases in which state governments chose to override federal environmental regulation with tighter regulations of their own have become increasingly common, even for pollutants that have substantial spillovers across states. This paper argues that this change arose at least in...

Taxing Guns vs. Taxing Crime : An Application of the "Market for Offenses Model"
Ehrlich, Isaac - 2010
The interaction between offenders and potential victims has so far received relatively little attention in the literature on the economics of crime. The main objective of this paper is twofold: to extend the "market for offenses model" to deal with both "product" and "factor" markets, and to...
