This study analyses the trends in the real prices of steers destined for the Japanese and Korean market, and cows destined for the USA market when sold in Queensland (QLD) or New South Wales (NSW). The aim of this paper is to explore how these prices have influenced each other when faced with...

In this paper we introduce a state-space approach to the econometric modelling of cross-sectional specific trends (temporal variation in individual heterogeneity) and time varying slopes in the context of panel data regressions. We show that our state-space panel stochastic frontier model nests...

Much of the endogenous growth literature has dwelled on evaluating the spillover effects of trade on growth, but much less efforts have been directed towards tracing and quantifying the spillover effects of foreign investments.
