Concert tickets can either be sold at a single price or at different prices to reflect the various levels of seating categories available. Here we consider how two product characteristics (the artist's age and venue capacity) influence the likelihood that pop music concert tickets will be sold...

A test for the cointegrating rank of a vector autoregressive (VAR) process with a possible shift and broken linear trend is proposed. The break point is assumed to be known. The setup is a VAR process for cointegrated variables. The tests are not likelihood ratio tests but the deterministic...

Using vector autoregressions on U.S. time series, we find that technology shocks induce an ‘S’- shaped cross-correlation function for the trade balance and the terms of trade (S-curve). In calibrating a prototypical international business cycle model to match the S-curve under complete and...

This paper compares two alternative theories of Aggregate supply, both with a "New Keynesian Flavor". The first assumes that prices are rigis due to the existence of menu costs of the kind advanced by Mankiw [38] and Akerlof and Yellen [2]. The second derives price stickiness endogenously as one...
