A child’s access to health care and minimum nutrition should not depend on circumstances such as caste, religion, gender, place of birth, or other parental characteristics, which are beyond the control of a child. This paper uses two rounds of Indian National Family Health Surveys and concepts...

In this document we may find the main characteristics about the food security situation in the Mesoamerican countries. The insufficient nourishment and nutrition, as well the poverty condition that involve an important proportion of the Central American and Mexican population, produce and human...

The main objective of this paper is to present a theoretical framework that conceptualizes technology adoption as a decision process involving information acquisition by farmers who face yield uncertainty and vary in their risk preferences. This is done by integrating the microeconomic...

In this paper we examine whether the real prices of eleven natural resource commodities exhibit stochastic or deterministic trends. A common methodological feature in the relevant empirical literature, most of which published in the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, has been so...

In this study, a panel vector autoregressive (PVAR) model with system generalized method of moments (GMM) estimation is utilized to examine the dynamic causalities among economic growth, healthcare expenditure, and CO2 emissions in Asia-Pacific countries from 2000 to 2019. Results show that...

The present paper develops a new Instrumental Variables (IV) estimator for spatial, dynamic panel data models with interactive effects under large N and T asymptotics. For this class of models, the only approaches available in the literature are based on quasi-maximum likelihood estimation. The...

The properties of two goodness-of-fit measures are analyzed for the instrumental variables model. One measure is based on the two-step approach to IV estimation and is equal to the coefficient of determination in the second stage equation. This measure therefore measures the fit of a...

In this paper, we quantitatively characterize the mechanism of collaborative knowledge creation at the individual researcher level a la Berliant and Fujita(2008) by using Japanese patent data. The key driver for developing new ideas is found to be the exchange of differentiated knowledge among...
