This note examines the sensitivity of tests for homogeneity in demand systems to such factors as omitted variables and dynamic and stochastic specification. It estimates demand systems for Ireland using time-series data ...
Examines the sensitivity of tests for homogeneity in Ireland's demand systems on various economic factors. Use of time series data for unconditional demand systems in differentiating dynamic and stochastic specifications; ...

There is a long history of mapping market structure into market power in economic analysis. This paper addresses the validity of this principle for both homogenous and differentiated products industries. While mapping ...
For over 30 years various micro and macro models have been used for analysing masonry, but no strong consensus within the structural engineering community exists as to usage. Selection remains driven by field scenarios, ...
Ostrowski showed that there are intimate connections between the gap structure of a Taylor series and the behaviour of its partial sums outside the disk of convergence. This paper investigates the corresponding problem for ...

We model the growth and failure of small business in Irish Manufacturing during the period 1973-1994. We estimate the effect of start-up size on the employment growth while controlling for the business cycle, the life cycle ...
The majority of research to date investigating strategic tariffs in the presence of
multinationals finds a knife-edge result where, in equilibrium, all foreign firms are either
multinationals or exporters. Utilizing a ...
This paper considers the allocation of essential patents by a profit maximizing monopoly. Using a model incorporating product differentiation and network externalities we show that fixed fee licences are optimal either ...
Item response modelling is a well established method for analysing ordinal response data. Ordinal data are typically collected as responses to a number
of questions or items. The observed data can be viewed as discrete ...
