In two-player games with negative (positive) spillovers it is well-known that symmetric agents both overact (underact) at the Nash equilibria. We show that for heterogeneous agents this rule of thumb has to be amended if the game features strategic substitutability.

In this paper, we develop finite-sample inference procedures for stationary and nonstationary autoregressive (AR) models. The method is based on special properties of Markov processes and a split-sample technique. The results on Markovian processes (intercalary independence and truncation) only...

We present an econometric analysis of the effect of long term nutritional conditions on school achievement. We control potential selectivity bias, which is common in this literature, (i) either by restricting the sample, (ii) or by applying a two step Heckman procedure. For Malagasy data, we...

Dans cet article nous spécifions et estimons des équations de salaire, de participation au marché du travail et d’offre de travail dans lesquelles figurent des variables sanitaires. Nous utilisons des données issues d’une d’enquête ménage, conduite en 1997 dans la capitale malgache,...

We study long run carbon dioxide emissions-economic development relationships for advanced countries grouped in policy relevant groups: North America and Oceania, South Europe, North Europe. By relying on recent advances on Generalized Additive Mixed Models (GAMMs) and adopting interaction...

The specialization patterns of metropolitan areas are crucial in characterizing the effects of economic integration in Europe. This paper aims to provide and estimate an econometric model that explains both sectoral specialization and sectoral dissimilarity, measured with the GINI and the...

Tout en tenant compte des spécificités socioéconomiques, la comparaison de la France et de la Slovaquie, au regard de différentes mesures de la pauvreté relative à chaque pays, met en évidence de grandes ressemblances à côté de quelques différences. En Slovaquie, la population, plus...

Dans un premier temps, l'objet de notre contribution est de conduire une analyse des déclassements des jeunes entrant dans la vie active. L'analyse se veut comparative sur deux aspects : celui du secteur et celui du genre. Ainsi nous étudierons la situation des jeunes femmes employées dans le...

This paper provides a summary of the OECD’s new global macroeconometric model, including an overview of model structure and a selection of simulations illustrating its main properties. Compared with its predecessors, the new model is more compact and regionally aggregated, but gives more...

RESUMENLa contribución del presente artículo es entregar a la comunidad académica un instrumento de medición que permite cuantificar la capacidad relativa estatal denominada poder. Permite establecer correlaciones entre variables que la literatura en relaciones internacionales ha empleado...
