Risk, institutions and growth: Why England and not China?
Greif, Avner; Iyigun, Murat; Sasson, Diego - 2011
We analyze the role of risk-sharing institutions in transitions to modern economies. Transitions requires individual-level risk-taking in pursuing productivity-enhancing activities including using and developing new knowledge. Individual-level, idiosyncratic risk implies that distinct...

Finite sample correction factors for panel cointegration tests
Hlouskova, Jaroslava; Wagner, Martin - 2009
In this paper we present finite T mean and variance correction factors and corresponding response surface regressions for the panel cointegration tests presented in Pedroni (1999, 2004), Westerlund (2005), Larsson et al. (2001), and Breitung (2005). For the single equation tests we consider up...

Reproducible Econometric Simulations
Kleiber, Christian; Zeileis, Achim - 2011
Reproducibility of economic research has attracted considerable attention in recent years. So far, the discussion has focused on reproducibility of empirical analyses. This paper addresses a further aspect of reproducibility, the reproducibility of computational experiments. We examine the...

Standard and Shuffled Halton Sequences in a Mixed Logit Model
Staus, Alexander - 2008
. Simulation methods have been developed to approximate a solution for these integrals. This paper describes the Standard Halton … sequence and a modification of it, the Shuffled Halton sequence. Both are simulation methods which can reduce computational … effort compared to a random sequence. We compare the simulation methods in their coverage of the multi-dimensional area and …

Autonomously Interacting Banks
Lengwiler, Yvan; Maringer, Dietmar - 2011
The great financial turmoil that started 2007 has brought bank regulation back into the political debate. There is talk about imposing new regulations on banks and other financial intermediaries. Yet, we are not convinced that it is completely understood how the existing regulation affects...

Firms formation and growth in the model with heterogeneous agents and monitoring
Marko, Peter; Švarc, Petr - 2008
In this article we extend the agent-based model of firms' formation and growth proposed in [4]. In [4] the firms' creation, expansion or contraction results from the interaction of heterogeneous utility maximizers. While the original model was able to replicate the power law distribution in the...

Technology adoption and herding behavior in complex social networks
Švarcová, Natalie; Švarc, Petr - 2008
Using a simple computational model, we study consequences of herding behavior in population of agents connected in networks with different topologies: random networks, small-world networks and scale-free networks. Agents sequentially choose between two technologies using very simple rules based...

The Hungarian quarterly projection model (NEM)
Benk, Szilárd; Jakab, Zoltán M.; Kovács, Mihály András - 2006
This document gives a detailed account of the current version of the Hungarian Quarterly Projection Model (NEM). It describes the main building blocks, presents the forecast performance of the model and, finally, it illustrates the responses to the most important shocks the Hungarian economy may...
