An important concern is that algorithms can inadvertently discriminate against minority groups and reinforce existing inequality. Typically, the worry is that when classification algorithms are trained on a dataset that itself reflects bias this may reinforce bias. However, in the world of...

We consider the method of moments estimation of a structural equation in a panel dynamic simultaneous equations model under different sample size combinations of cross-sectional dimension, N, and time series dimension, T. Two types of linear transformation to remove the individual-specific...

This research paper is interested to propose an alternative distributed lag model from a multi-dimensional perspective. It is entitled "The Mega-space Distributed Lag Model". The main objective of the Mega-space Distributed Lag Model is to study different micro and macroeconomic scenarios...

This article introduces an estimation method for the conditional joint distribution of bivariate outcomes, based on the distribution regression approach and the factorization method. The proposed method can apply for discrete, continuous or mixed distribution outcomes. It is semiparametric in...

In this paper, we define a new construct for urban economic and investment analysis, which revisits the conventional wisdom that investment in real estate development is riskier than investment in stabilized property assets. This new construct, referred as a “Development Asset Value Index"...

The malleability of the urban housing markets is an indication that price equalisation in the housing market would not hold, to the extent that, reliable housing price measurement would be a difficult task. This paper which is exploratory in nature attempts to examine house prices at a micro...

A dramatic decline in the maximum loan amount eligible for FHA mortgage insurance in the Salt Lake City metropolitan statistical area between 2013 and 2014 provides a natural experiment in the impact of borrowing constraints on housing decisions. Using a differences-in-differences design within...

The future of American homeownership is being pushed in contradictory directions by demographic changes. The aging of the Baby Boomers would support higher levels of homeownership, but the increasing minority share of the population and the persistent racial gap in homeownership acts to reduce...

We hypothesize, and examine empirically, two types of association between organization capital and firm life cycle. Are firms with high organization capital more likely to be in a particular stage of their life cycle than firms with low organization capital? Are firms' transitions from one life...

The Formula One Championship (F1) is one of the biggest sports businesses in the world. But, however, it seems to astonish that only very few scholarly articles analyze the F1 business. The aim of this study is to contribute to closing two gaps in the existing literature: it contributes (1) to...
