Analysing Determinants of Match Attendance in the European Rugby Cup

Massey, Patrick ; Massey, Shane ; Hogan, Vincent (Vincent Peter) (University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2012-10)

The economic literature on professional sports leagues suggests supporters’ utility depends on uncertainty of outcome (competitive balance) and the quality of play. Unlike soccer, where the Champions League is dominated ...
The behaviour of inflation and unemployment in the United States

Hogan, Vincent (Vincent Peter) (University College Dublin, School of Economics, 2000-06)

Low rates of inflation have been recorded in the United States in recent years despite a decline in the unemployment rate. This phenomenon could be the result of a series of transitory shocks or of a permanent change in ...
Competitive Balance and Match Attendance in European Rugby Union Leagues

Massey, Patrick ; Massey, Shane ; Hogan, Vincent (Vincent Peter) (University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2012-10)

The paper analyses the impact of the relatively belated move to professionalism in Rugby Union. We use data on match attendance for 3,667 fixtures in European club Rugby over 15 seasons to estimate the effect of competitive ...
Consumption and house prices in Ireland

Hogan, Vincent (Vincent Peter) ; O'Sullivan, Patrick (University College Dublin, Institute for the Study of Social Change (Geary Institute), 2003)

We examine the link between private consumption and housing wealth in Ireland. We find that the marginal propensity to consume out of housing wealth is essentially zero. This is in marked contrast to the recent evidence ...

The determinants of reservation wages

Hogan, Vincent (Vincent Peter) (University College Dublin, School of Economics, 1999-08)

Most theories of involuntary unemployment predict that the equilibrium wage in the labor market will be greater than the reservation wage of the unemployed. These theories concentrate on explaining why the labor market ...
Dispersion in the economic return to schooling

Harmon, Colm ; Hogan, Vincent (Vincent Peter) ; Walker, Ian (University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2001-08)

In this paper we extend the standard human capital earnings function to include dispersion in the rate of return to schooling by treating the return as a random coefficient. One motivation is that if the increase in supply ...
Dispersion in the economic return to schooling

Harmon, Colm ; Hogan, Vincent (Vincent Peter) ; Walker, Ian (University College Dublin. Institute for the Study of Social Change (Geary Institute), 2002-10-18)

We extend the standard human capital earnings function to include dispersion in the return to schooling by treating the return as a random coefficient. If the rapid expansion in participation in higher education has been ...
Dispersion in the economic return to schooling

Harmon, Colm ; Walker, Ian ; Hogan, Vincent (Vincent Peter) (Elsevier Science, 2003)

We extend the standard human capital earnings function to include dispersion in the return to schooling by treating the return as a random coefficient (RC). If the rapid expansion in participation in higher education has ...
Do taxes cause unemployment?

Hogan, Vincent (Vincent Peter) (University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2001-01)

In the long run the economic incidence of a tax is unaffected by whether a tax is levied on workers, consumers or firms. In the short run, however, with wages and prices not fully flexible the incidence may be different. ...
Education choice under uncertainty and public policy

Hogan, Vincent (Vincent Peter) ; Walker, Ian (University College Dublin. Institute for the Study of Social Change (Geary Institute), 2002-09-05)

We analyse how progressive taxation and education subsidies affect schooling deci- sions when the returns to education are stochastic. We use the theory of real options to solve the problem of education choice in a dynamic, ...

We analyse how progressive taxation and education subsidies affect schooling decisions when the returns to education are stochastic. We use the theory of real options to solve the problem of education choice in a dynamic, ...
Education choice under uncertainty : implications for public policy

Hogan, Vincent (Vincent Peter) ; Walker, Ian (Elsevier, 2007)

We analyse how progressive taxation and education subsidies affect schooling decisions when the returns to education are stochastic. We use the theory of real options to solve the problem of education choice in a dynamic ...

Estimating the welfare cost of taxation in a labour market with Unemployment and non-participation

Hogan, Vincent (Vincent Peter) (University College Dublin. School of Economics, 1999-02)

The standard public finance analysis of the welfare cost of labour income taxation is based on the estimation of labour supply functions that treat unemployed individuals as non-participants. This paper applies econometric ...
Expansionary fiscal contractions?

Hogan, Vincent (Vincent Peter) (University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2001-02)

We examine the usefulness of the Expansionary Fiscal Contraction hypothesis in explaining the performance of the Irish and Danish economies. We find some evidence in favour of a weak version of the EFC hypotheisis: If the ...
Expansionary fiscal contractions? Evidence from panel data

Hogan, Vincent (Vincent Peter) (University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2003-01)

We examine the ability of the Expansionary Fiscal Contraction (EFC) hypothesis to explain the performance of of OECD economies during times of crisis. We find some limited evidence in its favour: if public consumption is ...
Expansionary Fiscal Contractions? Evidence from panel data

Hogan, Vincent (Vincent Peter) (Blackwell, 2004)

We examine the ability of the expansionary fiscal contraction (EFC) hypothesis to explain the performance of OECD economies during fiscal crises. We find some limited evidence in its favour: if public consumption is reduced ...

Hogan, Vincent (Vincent Peter) (International Monetary Fund, Western Hemisphere Department, 1998-09)

Low rates of inflation have been recorded in the United States in recent years despite a decline in the unemployment rate. This phenomenon could be the result of a series of transitory shocks or of a permanent change in ...
