  • Scenario Adjustment in Stated Preference Research 
    Cameron, Trudy Ann; DeShazo, J. R.; Johnson, Erica H. (University of Oregon, Dept of Economics, 2009-11-22)
    Stated preference (SP) survey methods have been used increasingly to assess willingness to pay for a wide variety of non-market goods and services, including reductions in risks to life and health. Poorly designed SP ...
  • Self-Protection: Antidumping Duties, Collusion and FDI 
    Davies, Ronald B.; Liebman, Benjamin H., 1971- (University of Oregon, Dept. of Economics, 2003-11)
    It is well established that the threat of antidumping duties can help sustain collusion between a foreign firm and its domestic counterpart. However, when the foreign firm is a multinational, its subsidiary will fight ...
  • Self-Protection: Fragmentation of Headquarter Services and FDI 
    Davies, Ronald B. (University of Oregon, Dept of Economics, 2003-11)
    I develop a simple model in which production of skill-intensive headquarter services are fragmented across borders in order to take advantage of complementarities between types of skilled labor. This setting indicates that ...
  • Sequential procedures for poverty gap dominance 
    Zoli, Claudio; Lambert, Peter J. (University of Oregon, Dept of Economics, 2005-01-01)
    Poverty evaluations differ from welfare evaluations in one significant aspect, the existence of a threshold or reference point, the poverty line. It is therefore possible to build up normative evaluation models in which ...
  • The Shapley valuation function for strategic games in which players cooperate 
    Carpente, Luisa; Casas-Mendez, Balbina; García-Jurado, I. (Ignacio); Nouweland, Anne van den (University of Oregon, Dept. of Economics, 2004-02-19)
    In this note we use the Shapley value to define a valuation function. A valuation function associates with every non-empty coalition of players in a strategic game a vector of payoffs for the members of the coalition that ...
  • A Simple Recursive Forecasting Model 
    Branch, William A.; Evans, George W., 1949- (University of Oregon, Dept of Economics, 2005-02-01)
    We compare the performance of alternative recursive forecasting models. A simple constant gain algorithm, used widely in the learning literature, both forecasts well out of sample and also provides the best fit to the ...
  • Stable Finite-State Markov Sunspots 
    Evans, George W., 1949-; McGough, Bruce (University of Oregon, Dept of Economics, 2006-10-09)
    We consider a linear univariate rational expectations model, with a predetermined variable, and study existence and stability of solutions driven by an extraneous finite-state Markov process. We show that when the model ...
  • Stable Noisy K-state Markov Sunspots 
    Evans, George W., 1949-; McGough, Bruce (University of Oregon, Dept. of Economics, 2002-07-18)
    We consider a linear stochastic univariate rational expectations model, with a predetermined variable, and consider solutions driven by an extraneous finite state Markov process as well as by the fundamental noise. We ...
  • Stable Sunspot Equilibira in a Cash-in-Advance Economy 
    Evans, George W., 1949-; Honkapohja, Seppo, 1951-; Marimon, Ramon, 1953- (University of Oregon, Dept. of Economics, 2002-10-25)
    We develop a monetary model with flexible supply of labor, cash in advance constraints and government spending financed by seignorage. This model has two regimes. One regime is conventional with two steady states. The other ...
  • Stable Sunspot Solutions in Models with Predetermined Variables 
    Evans, George W., 1949-; McGough, Bruce (University of Oregon, Dept. of Economics, 2002-04-17)
    We consider a linear stochastic univariate rational expectations model, with a predetermined variable, and provide alternative representations of SSEs (stationary sunspot equilibria). For a strict subset of the parameter ...
  • Stagnation Regime of the New Keynesian Model and Current US Policy 
    Evans, George W., 1949- (University of Oregon, Dept of Economics, 2010-10-30)
    In Evans, Guse, and Honkapohja (2008) the intended steady state is locally but not globally stable under adaptive learning, and unstable deflationary paths can arise after large pessimistic shocks to expectations. In ...
  • State Tax Competition for Foreign Direct Investment: A Winnable War? 
    Davies, Ronald B. (University of Oregon, Dept. of Economics, 2000-05-01)
    When a multinational firm invests in a country, potential host states compete for the firm by offering firm-specific tax reductions. Critics blast such incentives as a prisoner’s dilemma that transfers rents to the firm ...
  • Status Equilibrium in Local Public Good Economies 
    Nouweland, Anne van den; Wooders, Myrna Holtz (University of Oregon, Dept of Economics, 2005-09-19)
    We define a concept of status equilibrium for local public good economies. A status equilibrium specifies one status index for each agent in an economy. These indices determine agents’ cost shares in any possible jurisdiction. ...
  • Strongly stable networks 
    Jackson, Matthew O.; Nouweland, Anne van den (University of Oregon, Dept. of Economics, 2001-06-01)
    We analyze the formation of networks among individuals. In particular, we examine the existence of networks that are stable against changes in links by any coalition of individuals. We show that to investigate the existence ...
  • Superfund Taint and Neighborhood Change: Ethnicity, Age Distributions, and Household Structure 
    Cameron, Trudy Ann; Crawford, Graham D. (University of Oregon, Dept. of Economics, 2003-12)
    Certain sociodemographic groups often seem to be relatively more concentrated near environmental hazards than in the surrounding community. It is well-known that snapshot cross-sectional statistical analyses cannot reveal ...
  • Taking care of your own: Ethnic and religious heterogeneity and income inequality 
    Dincer, Oguzhan; Lambert, Peter J. (University of Oregon, Dept of Economics, 2006)
    Using recently developed indices of fractionalization and polarization, we analyze the direct and indirect effects of ethnic and religious heterogeneity on income inequality and on welfare programs across US states. We ...
  • A tale of two shares: The relationship between the “illegitimacy” ratio and the marriage share 
    Gray, Jo Anna; Stockard, Jean; Stone, Joe A. (University of Oregon, Dept of Economics, 2004-06-11)
    We develop a model of fertility and marriage that implies a magnified effect of marriage rates on the share of births to unmarried women. For U.S. data, plots and regression estimates support the prediction that the share ...
  • Tariff-jumping FDI and Domestic Firms’ Profits 
    Blonigen, Bruce A.; Tomlin, KaSaundra, 1969-; Wilson, Wesley W. (University of Oregon, Dept. of Economics, 2002-06-01)
    Studies of the welfare implications of trade policy often do not take account of the potential for tariff-jumping FDI to mitigate positive gains to domestic producers. We use event study methodology to examine the market ...
  • Tax Competition and Foreign Capital 
    Davies, Ronald B.; Gresik, Thomas A. (University of Oregon, Dept. of Economics, 2001-01-01)
    This paper derives welfare equivalence of double taxation rules in a tax competition model with discriminatory home taxes and the ability to finance subsidiary operations with host country capital. For a more general model, ...
  • Tax Competition for Heterogeneous Firms with Endogenous Entry 
    Davies, Ronald B.; Eckel, Carsten (University of Oregon, Dept of Economics, 2007-03)
    This paper models tax competition for mobile firms that are differentiated by the amount of labor needed to cover fixed costs. Because tax competition affects the distribution of firms, it affects both relative equilibrium ...
