Countervailing Duties, Antidumping Tariffs, and the Byrd Amendment: A Welfare Analysis
Schmitz, Troy G.; James L. Seale, Jr. - In: The International Journal of Applied Economics 1 (2004) 1, pp. 65-80
This paper determines the effect that offset payments under the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act (CDSOA also known as the “Byrd Amendment”) have on tariff levels that are lobbied for by U.S. producer groups. We derive the optimum antidumping tariff that would maximize the welfare of...

Temporal Causality and the Dynamics of Exports, Human Capital and Real Income in China
Narayan, Paresh Kumar; Smyth, Russell - In: The International Journal of Applied Economics 1 (2004) 1, pp. 24-45
This article employs cointegration and error-correction modelling to test the causal relationship between real income, exports and human capital stock using data for China over the period 1960 to 1999. We find that real exports, human capital and real income are cointegrated when real exports is...

Market Structure, Technology Spillovers, and Persistence in Productivity Differentials
Cheung, Yin-Wong; Pascual, Antonio Garcia - In: The International Journal of Applied Economics 1 (2004) 1, pp. 1-23
Using data from 11 manufacturing industries in 17 OECD countries, this paper empirically investigates the determinants of cross-country differences in the persistence of productivity differentials. Specifically, the paper focuses on the effects of product market structure and technology...

A New Test of Asymmetric Stationarity in the Presence of Deterministic Trends: Simulation and Empirical Evidence
Cook, Steven - In: The International Journal of Applied Economics 1 (2004) 1, pp. 46-54
Using local-to-unity detrending, a modified momentum-threshold autoregressive test is derived to allow the unit root hypothesis to be tested against an alternative of asymmetric stationarity about a deterministic trend. Monte Carlo evidence is presented to show the increased power of the...

Comparison of Quadratic Expenditure System and Almost Ideal Demand System Based on Empirical Data
Katchova, Ani L.; Chern, Wen S. - In: The International Journal of Applied Economics 1 (2004) 1, pp. 55-64
Researchers prefer to use a demand system that best fits their data. This paper examines a nonnested test of comparison between the quadratic expenditure system (QES) and the almost ideal demand system (AIDS). We determine which model is more suitable by analyzing the value and the significance...

An Analysis of Co-Movements and Causality of International Interest Rates: The Case of Korea, Japan, and the U.S.
Ma, Seung-Ryul; Park, Sang-Bum - In: The International Journal of Applied Economics 1 (2004) 1, pp. 98-114
In this study, co-movements and causality of international interest rates are analyzed. We use spectral analysis to find co-movements and lead and lag relationships and the transfer function model to examine causality. Using the Granger causality test, we identify unidirectional movements from...

New Evidence on Demand for Cigarettes: A Panel Data Approach
Huang, Bwo-Nung; Yang, Chin-wei; Hwang, Ming-jeng - In: The International Journal of Applied Economics 1 (2004) 1, pp. 81-97
This paper estimates the demand for cigarettes using panel data – 42 states and Washington, D.C. – from 1961 to 2002. We first employ the panel unit root test before estimating the demand structure. We have found that (i) the price and income elasticities are approximately –0.41 and 0.06,...

Explaining and predicting bank failure using duration models: the case of Argentina after the Mexican crisis
Dabós, Marcelo; Escudero, Walter Sosa - In: Revista de Analisis Economico – Economic Analysis Review 19 (2004) 1, pp. 31-49
This paper studies the role played by several bank specific financial indicators in determining the process of bank failure in Argentina after the Mexican crisis known as the "tequila effect". Due to the relative scarcity of previous studies, this paper priorizes the use of semiparametric and...
