-
(Elsevier Science, 1999-04)We explore the possibility that different instruments may affect different margins of the schooling distribution, and consistent with recent evidence we find a large, significant downward bias in the least squares estimate ...
-
(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 1993-01)This paper examines the conjecture that tax reform recommendations are not as sensitive to underlying consumer demand systems as are derived optimal tax rates. Tax reform recommendations for Ireland using the Ahmad-Stern ...
