In this article, we consider how effect consumer's earlier decision to purchase a discount ticket will have on the competition, price and timetable, between airlines. We focus on a relationship between consumer's purchasing behavior and a competition between airlines. We consider that a consumer...

This paper constructs a model of international joint ventures (JVs) with political-economy considerations as the main motivation. A foreign firm decides whether to undertake full ownership foreign direct investment (FDI), or to form a JV with a home firm, while the home firm lobbies against...

This paper studies intra-industry foreign direct investment in a 2*2*2 general equilibrium model with bilateral monopoly in the factor market and unilateral monopoly fn the product market. Intra-industry investment is presented as the endogenous result of the interactions between multinational...

This paper reexamines the problem of long-run tax incidence by using a two-sector growth model in which finitely-lived individuals undertake intertemporal optimizing decisions in the presence of annuity markets. Under a constant relative risk aversion utility function, none of the selective...

This work deals with the intra-day determination of foreign exchange rates. We have two objectives. The first is to suggest a microstructure model of the foreign exchange markets. The second is to explain certain empirical issues, using this model Auctions.

Brand Personality is one way to evaluate the reputation of a business, by assessing how and in what way brand is recognized both internally and externally. Here "identity" is defined as what the employees think of the business and "image" is what the customers think of the business. In many...

This paper proposes a model averaging method, the generalized Mallows’ Cp (GC) method, which works well for heteroskedastic models. Under some regularity conditions, we provide a feasible form of the GC method and show that the GC method has asymptotic optimality not only as a model averaging...

This paper proposed a model averaging method, which is called Generalized Mallows’ Cp model averaging (GC). It works well for heteroskedastic models. Under some regularity conditions, we show that our GC has asymptotic optimality as a model averaging method, and also has asymptotic optimality...

This paper presents a dynamic general equilibrium model that incorporates profit-maximizing banks and inside money into a decentralized Ramsey economy. It offers an alternative to the monetary equilibrium model of Sidrauski with money in the utility function and that of Stockman with a...
