Big Push models suggest that local product demand can create multiple labor market equilibria: one featuring high wages, formalization, and high demand and one with low wages, informality, and low demand. I demonstrate that minimum wages may coordinate development at the high wage equilibrium....

A conservation good, such as the rainforest, is a hostage: it is possessed by S who may prefer to consume it, but B receives a larger value from continued conservation. A range of prices would make trade mutually beneficial. So, why doesn't B purchase conservation, or the forest, from S? If this...

The research in this paper extends the standard random coefficient logit demand (S-RCL) framework using a Box-Cox transformation of the attribute space (BC-RCL) to empirically investigate vertical conduct scenarios in milk manufacturing and retailing. S-RCL relies on ad hoc linear indirect utility...

This paper considers three distinct hypothesis testing problems that arise in the context of identification of some nonparametric models with endogeneity. The first hypothesis testing problem concerns testing necessary conditions for identification in some nonparametric models with endogeneity...

The importance of forecasting wind power has grown in parallel with the increase in penetration of wind power generation on power systems. It can be loosely said, for the short term, that the uncertainty in wind power prediction is higher than in load forecasting. This very fact has strong...
