Korean Abstract : 이 논문에서는 한국의 주별 익일물 콜금리를 사용해 국면전환 확산과정모형을 추정했다. 일반적인 비선형 추세 함수와 분산 탄력성이 상수인 변동성 함수를 갖는 확산과정모형에서 모수들이 경제상황에 따라...

Five diffusion models are estimated using three different foreign exchange rates to find an appropriate model for each. Daily spot exchange rates expressed as the prices of 1 euro, 1 British pound and 100 Japanese yen in US dollars, respectively denoted by USD/EUR, USD/GBP, and USD/100JPY, are...

We consider non-cooperative environments in which two players have the power to commit but cannot sign binding agreements. We show that by committing to a set of actions rather than to a single action, players can implement a wide range of action profiles. We give a complete characterization of...

In this study we investigate the impact of competition on markets for non-durable goods where intertemporal price discrimination is possible. We develop a simple model of different potential scenarios for intertemporal price discrimination and implement it in a laboratory experiment. We compare...

Wage posting models of job search typically assume that firms can commit to paying workers the posted wage. This paper investigates the consequences of relaxing this assumption. Under ``downward'' commitment, firms can commit only to paying at least their advertised wage. We show that wage...

The Zollverein, a customs union, of 1834 was the outcome of sequential accession negotiations between Prussia and other German states. This paper applies a bargaining model to analyse the choices of negotiation structure and institutional form of a customs union. The existence of negative...

If either property rights or institutions are weak, agents who create wealth by cooperating will later have an incentive to fight over the distribution of it. In this paper we investigate theoretically and experimentally the circumstances under which welfare losses from investment in...

This paper sheds new light on subset hypothesis testing in linear structural models in which instrumental variables (IVs) can be arbitrarily weak. For the first time, we investigate the validity of the bootstrap for Anderson-Rubin (AR) type tests of hypotheses specified on a subset of structural...

This paper presents a theoretical model and empirical evidence to explain the occurrence of tax amnesties. We treat amnesties as endogenous, resulting from a strategic game between many taxpayers discounting future payments from punishment and a government that balances costs and benefits of...
