Recently, FTA between Korea and China is an important issue, and many researchers try to estimate the effects of FTA to abolish or decrease the tariff rates on their trade. In order to understand the effects of the FTA, we analyze the relationships between the extent of Intra-Industry Trade...

Using data from the Current Population Survey for 1997 and 2001, we estimate the probability that a consumer engages in online shopping. We use variation in sales–tax rates by county to identify the effects of the sales–tax rate in the home county and adjacent counties. We also control for...

In this paper robustness properties are studied for kernel density estimators. A plug-in and least squares cross-validation bandwidth selector are considered. In an asymptotic analysis and in a simulation study it is shown that the robustness of kernel density estimates depends strongly on the...

We estimate a New-Keynesian macro model accommodating regime-switching behavior in monetary policy and in macro shocks. Key to our estimation strategy is the use of survey-based expectations for inflation and output. Output and inflation shocks shift to the low volatility regime around 1985 and...

This study investigates the impact of a shopping center on surrounding housing prices. Instead of using simple Euclidean distance to measure proximity to the shopping center, this study creates multiple sizes of driving time buffers around the shopping center to better reflect real accessibility...

In support of the Joint City–County Taskforce on Ridge, Slope, and Hillside Development and Protection, the goal of this research was to identify areas within Knox County, Tennessee, where views of hillsides and ridges were most valued and how those values were affected by different economic...
