This paper focuses on the analysis of the extent to which air traffic is affected by the proposal of the European Commission on including the aviation sector into the European emission trading scheme and the increasing fuel prices by using a panel data of 18 European Airlines from 1990 through 2007...

We study the well-posedness of initial value problems for scalar functional algebraic and differential functional equations of mixed type. We provide a practical way to determine whether such problems admit unique solutions that grow at a specified rate. In particular, we exploit the fact that the...

We consider a semiparametric transformation model, in which the regression function has an additive nonparametric structure and the transformation of the response is supposed to belong to some parametric family. We suppose that endogeneity is present in the explanatory variables. Using a...

Nous nous intéressons aux méthodes d'estimation non paramétriques par noyaux récursifs ainsi qu'à leurs applications à la prévision. Nous introduisons une famille d'estimateurs récursifs de la densité indexée par un paramètre appartenant à [0 , 1]. Leur comportement asymptotique en fonction...

We argue that US welfare would rise if unemployment insurance were to be increased for young workers and decreased for old. This is because young workers have little means to smooth consumption during unemployment, and want jobs to accumulate high-return human capital. So unemployment insurance is...

This paper estimates the effect of corporate governance provisions on shareholder value and long-term outcomes in S&P1500 firms. We apply a regression discontinuity design to shareholder votes on governance proposals in annual meetings. A close-call vote around the majority threshold is akin to...

Should public assets such as infrastructure, education, and the environment earn the same return as private investments? The long-term nature of public investments provides commitment to current preferences, which justifies lower than private returns for time-inconsistent decision markers. An...

We propose an experiment to test how subjects use information, in the form of a probability estimate, when this comes from another subject who has a well-known bias. Subjects are asked to estimate the probability of drawing a red ball from an urn which has two components: a fixed component which...
