In this paper we develop a new strutural approach to measuring the gains from economic integration based on a Ricardian model in which heterogeneous factors of production are allocated to multiple sectors in multiple local markets based on comparative advantage. We implement our approach using...

This paper proposes a model where systemic banks coexist with non-systemic banks. Troubles in a systemic bank may hurt non-systemic banks but not vice versa. We analyze the decision of the central banker and the deposit insurer to provide emergency liquidity assistance to illiquid banks whose...

The paper examines the application of economic analysis techniques within the expanding field of ecosystem service assessments. Taking as an example the recent UK National Ecosystem Assessment, we extend and apply methods for valuing changes in the services provided by the natural environment....

Products like radio shows and insurance contracts are designed by firms to sort for the most valuable users. An empirically relevant model of this process requires users to be heterogeneous along multiple dimensions of their preferences and their values, but existing models do not allow for...

This paper develops methodology for nonparametric estimation of a measure of the overlap of two distributions based on kernel estimation techniques. This quantity has been proposed as a measure of economic polarization between two groups, Anderson (2004) and Anderson, Ge, and Leo (2006). In ecology...

We introduce estimation and test procedures through divergence minimization for models satisfying linear constraints with unknown parameter. These procedures extend the empirical likelihood (EL) method and share common features with generalized empirical likelihood approach. We treat the problems...

A major dilemma facing China is the extent to which the benefits of high growth can be shared more equally within and across cohorts. China will experience a sharp increase in the old-age dependency ratio which may undermine the sustainability of its pension system, arguably the most important...

This article studies US corn price fluctuations in the past two decades. Price volatility is explained by volatility clustering, the influence of energy prices, corn stocks and global economic conditions. A multivariate GARCH specification that allows for exogenous variables in the conditional...
