The determinants of net migration rates including government taxes and welfare spending for 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia during 1992-93 are examined. The weighted least squares (WLS) method is employed assuming dependent variable heteroscedasticity. Major findings indicate...

The impact of the minimum wage increase on the part-time/full-time employment ratio (PTFT) is re-examined. Contrary to some previous findings, strong evidence is found of the substitution effect that if the relative wage (the ratio of the minimum wage to the average hourly earning in the private...

The demand for M2 in Pakistan ispositively influenced by real GDP and currency appreciation and negatively influenced by the domestic interest rate and the foreign interest rate. These results confirm international capital mobility and currency substitution. The Box-Cox transformation indicates...

Based on the augmented Phillips curve and the autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity model, the author finds that the growth of nonunion wages are positively associated with expected inflation, productivity growth, and the growth of union wages and are negatively correlated with the...

The nominal interest rate is examined with the IS-LM model incorporating the Fisher hypothesis. Eight different interest rates are considered for different sample periods ending in 1993. When the Livingston survey data are used, the coefficients for the expected inflation rate, real quantity of...

This article finds that the demand for real M1 in Argentina has a positive relationship with real income and peso depreciation and a negative relationship with the domestic deposit rate, the foreign interest rate, and the expected inflation rate. Real stock prices do not affect the demand for...

This paper finds support for the trilemma for Greece, suggesting that there is a tradeoff among exchange rate stability, monetary independence and financial integration. The policy combination of monetary independence and financial integration has been prevalent. More exchange rate stability...

Applying a reduced form equation derived from a simultaneous system and the interactive dummy variable technique, this paper finds that expected real depreciation raises real output for Hungary in early years whereas expected real appreciation increases real output in later years. Hence, there...
