This paper presents a simulation procedure that uses GIS technology for integrating accessibility to services and working places in order to improve modeling of houses values. Most real estate models use simple functions of distance to CBD in order to evaluate access to services and centrality....

This paper deals with applying GIS and spatial statistics to hedonic modeling. More precisely, it looks at spatial autocorrelation and trend surface analysis (TSA) as devices that can be used to improve model performances. Empirical analysis is performed on the Charlesbourg 1986-87 bungalow...

In a model where agents have unequal production skills and different preferences, we build social welfare functions which rely only on ordinal non-comparable information on individual preferences. Social welfare functions are required to satisfy properties of compensation for inequalities in...

A lifetime portfolio of risky and risk-free sexual activities is conceptually constructed in this paper. People's time allocation between risky and risk-free sexual activities affects, and is affected by, the prevalence of AIDS. A small satisfaction differential between risky sex and risk-free...

This paper examines the consequences of labor immigration in an OLG economy in which agents have an elastic labor supply and differ with respect to degrees of altruism and rates of time preference. It focuses on three substantive questions. First, how do immigrants influence the bequest motive...

We modify the altruistic model by assuming that income, instead of the heir's utility, enters the altruist's utility function. We name this formulation "myopic" because, unlike in Barro's (1974) model, the altruist does not need to foresee into the indenite future to make his decisions. We...

The Rational Addiction Model of Becker and Murphy (1988) has become a standard tool in the analysis of the demand for drugs, cigarettes, alcohol and other potentially addictive goods. In this paper, we shall argue that the success of the model has been more apparent than real, and that its...
