We set out a model of a two-good, small open economy exporting a traditional exportable in order to finance capital goods rental payments. We observe that the traditional export sector declines with an exogenous increase in the country's oil export earnings, while the local goods sector expands....

We set out a model of a small open economy exporting oil and a traditional exportable in return for produced capital. The small open economy also has local production of a non-traded good. We first observe that the size of the traditional export sector declines with an exogenous increase in the...

We set out and solve a static neoclassical model with a labor/leisure choice for agents and a government sector producing a Samuelsonian public good. Numerical solutions vary considerably with the elasticity of substitution for commodities in an agent's utility function. We focus on solutions...

Kolstad's (1994) model of intertemporal, competitive supply to a linear market from two distinct exhaustible resource deposits admits two different interior solutions - one with the low cost deposit 'earning' the higher resource rent and the other with the low cost deposit 'earning' the lower...

We set out a city as a price-taking exporter and importer with its own local structure (housing (land per household) and a local pure public good are produced endogenously). We impove labor efficiency in the export sector, observe a jump in the local wage, and trace the impact, particularly on...

We present an aggregate four good model (consumption, in- vestment and two government goods) in which the current .ows of one government good are in part pure public intermediate goods. The other public goods has 'final' services for households. We are interested in a benefit approach to...

We set out a simple four sector macro model of the economy of the Roman Empire during a period of considerable economic prosperity. Our focus is on gold coins as currency and the seignorage which the government used to fund its activities. We solve numerically for a balanced growth...

We take up the hypothesis that risk premiums on equities are embodying the costs incurred by equity holders in monitoring the firms which they have invested in. This idea is a key ingredient in our construction of a two sector neoclassical model with widget producing firms and commercial banks....

In each period, we have an R&D race among N competitive R&D firms, each with probability π of discovering a successful new technique for producing an intermediate good used in producing the economy's final consumption good. The winner of a race earns a monopoly profit over a generally uncertain...

Each extractor has a distinct quadratic extraction cost and faces a linear industry demand schedule. We observe that the open loop and closed loop solutions are the same if initial stocks are such that each competitor is extracting in every period in which her competitors are extracting.
