(University of Oregon, Dept. of Economics, 2001-07-01)Antidumping (AD) duties are calculated as the difference between the foreign firm’s product price in the export market and some definition of "normal" or "fair" value, often the foreign firm’s product price in its own ...
-
(University of Oregon, Dept of Economics, 2003-06-23)We introduce the E-correspondence principle for stochastic dynamic expectations models as a tool for comparative dynamics analysis. The principle is applicable to equilibria that are stable under least squares and closely ...
-
(University of Oregon, Dept of Economics, 2005-09-15)This paper explores from a new perspective the forward premium puzzle, i.e., why a regression of the change in the future spot exchange rate on the forward premium paradoxically yields a coefficient that is frequently ...
-
(University of Oregon, Dept. of Economics, 2001-06-01)This paper describes some simple economic experiments that can be done using children as subjects. We argue that by conducting experiments on children economists can gain insight into the origins of preferences, the ...
-
(University of Oregon, Dept. of Economics, 2003-06-10)We examine the effect on inequality of increasing one income, and show that for two wide classes of indices a benchmark income level or position exists, dividing upper from lower incomes, such that if a lower income is ...
-
(University of Oregon, Dept. of Economics, 2001-01-01)The effects of bilateral tax treaties on FDI activity have been unexplored, despite significant ongoing activities by countries to negotiate and ratify these treaties. This paper estimates the impact of bilateral tax ...
-
(University of Oregon, Dept. of Economics, 2003-01-01)Longstanding debate over the appropriate social discount rate for public projects stems from our lack of knowledge about how individual discount rates vary across people and across choice contexts. Using a sample of roughly ...
-
(University of Oregon, Dept. of Economics, 2004-03)We develop a structural option price model in which individuals choose among competing risk-mitigating programs to alter their probability of experiencing future years in various degraded health states. The novel aspects ...
-
(University of Oregon, Dept of Economics, 2005-01-15)This note explores the insidious empirical trap posed by two common equality restrictions in regression analysis. The trap is that restricted coefficients can lie outside the interval of unrestricted coefficients and even ...
-
(University of Oregon, Dept. of Economics, 2002-01-26)Conventional wisdom attributes the severity of mortality in poorer countries to widespread poverty and inadequate living conditions. This paper considers the possibility that persistent poverty may arise, in turn, from a ...
-
(University of Oregon, Dept of Economics, 2006-06-01)What does an equal sacrifice tax look like in the case of a rank-dependent social welfare function? One's tax liability evidently becomes a function of one's income and one's position in the distribution in such a case, ...
-
(University of Oregon, Dept of Economics, 2007-05)This paper applies the panel fixed effects with vector decomposition estimator to three FDI datasets to estimate the impact of time-invariant variables on FDI while including fixed effects. We find that the omission of ...

(University of Oregon, Dept. of Economics, 2002-03-01)No abstract was submitted.

(University of Oregon, Dept of Economics, 2005-01-01)In hedonic property value models, economists typically assume that changing perceptions of environmental risk should be captured by changes in housing prices. However, for long-lived environmental problems, we find that ...
-
(University of Oregon, Dept of Economics, 2004-10-20)In choosing an exchange rate regime for a small open economy, the common wisdom (Friedman (1953), Meade (1950)) calls for a °oating regime to outperform a peg because of the ability of the former to cope with relative price ...
-
(University of Oregon, Dept. of Economics, 2002-04-06)We examine the nonlinear model x_t = E_t F(x_(t+1)). Markov SSEs exist near an indeterminate steady state, hat(x)=F(hat(x)), provided |F'(hat(x)| > 1. Despite the importance of indeterminancy in macroeconomics, earlier ...
-
(University of Oregon, Dept. of Economics, 2002-01-14)We consider the stability under adaptive learning of the complete set of solutions to the model x_i=beta(Ei*)(x_i+1) when |beat| >1. In addition to the fundamentals solution, the literature describes both finite-state ...
-
(University of Oregon, Dept. of Economics, 2001-08-03)A fundamentals based monetary policy rule, which would be the optimal monetary policy without commitment when private agents have perfectly rational expectations, is unstable if in fact these agents follow standard adaptive ...
-
(University of Oregon, Dept of Economics, 2009-07-06)We examine global economic dynamics under infinite-horizon learning in a New Keynesian model in which the interest-rate rule is subject to the zero lower bound. As in Evans, Guse and Honkapohja (2008), we find that under ...
-
(University of Oregon, Dept of Economics, 2006-08)We report results from economic experiments that provide a direct test of the hypothesis that criminal behavior responds rationally to changes in the possible rewards and in the probability and severity of punishment. ...
