We characterize the restrictions imposed by the minimal I(2)-to-I(1) transformation that underlies much applied work, e.g. on money demand relationships or open-economy pricing relationships. The relationship between the parameters of the original I(2) vector autoregression, including the...

: This paper develops a model of financing choice by an entrepreneur about to undertake a project. The entrepreneur is essential for the project but cash-constrained. Thus, he must sell part of the project to outside investors, while remaining in control as a manager. To finance the project he...

This paper examines the interrelations between the purchasing power parity, uncovered interest parity, the term structure of interest rates and the Fisher real interest rate parity using cointegration analysis. Dynamic adjustment and feed-back effects are estimated jointly in a full system of...

Simple exchange experiments have identified the fact that participants trade their endowment less frequently than standard demand theory predicts. List (2003) finds, however, that the most experienced dealers acting on a well functioning market are not subject to this “endowment effect”....

We ran an experiment with children to study the development of honesty with age. We asked each child to toss a fair coin in private and to record the outcome (white or black) in a paper sheet. We rewarded only those who reported white. We found a fraction of reported whites signifi…cantly...

In order to model the concept of behavioral heterogeneity, some authors have employed the following approach. By using affine transformations of the price space, a consumption sector is defined as the set of all transformed demand functions of a given "generating" demand function. This leads to...

In this paper we study the effects of opening an economy, with increasing returns in the production of non traded goods, on the existence of multiple Pareto-ranked stationary equilibria, local indeterminacy and bifurcations. We consider a standard Overlapping Generation Model of a small open...

The general concepts final settlement and competition defined by F. Edgeworth (1881) are redefined in a modern setting. The special application--exchange equilibrium--is compared to the later concept of the core. The history of exchange equilibrium is surveyed.

This paper examines the extent to which borrowing constraints restrict firm access to credit and identifies individual, firm, and loan characteristics, which determine the cost of capital in Vietnamese manufacturing. Using direct information from a Vietnamese enterprise survey I show that 14...

In a duopoly model with sequential price setting we show that as a result of private information prices are either sticky in the sense that they are not adjusted to available information on market conditions, or prices are adjusted but become upward biased. Hence asymmetric information causes...
