Random field regression models provide an extremely flexible way to investigate
nonlinearity in economic data. This paper introduces a new approach to interpreting such models, which may allow for improved inference about ...
This paper explores the relative influence of factors affecting light rail ridership on 57 light rail routes in Australia, Europe and North America through an empirical examination of route level data. Previous research ...
Spectral risk measures are attractive risk measures as they allow the user to obtain
risk measures that reflect their subjective risk-aversion. This paper examines
spectral risk measures based on an exponential utility ...

The import protection as export promotion thesis is examined from a positive and normative perspective in a series of two-stage games in which firms choose R&D and capacity in the first stage and quantity or price in the ...
In this paper we directly test the proposed productivity hierarchy of direct, indirect
and non-exporters using firm-level data from 105 developing and transition countries. Using both regression analysis and propensity ...

This paper examines optimal policy towards a home exporting firm which competes on price with a foreign firm. Two policy instruments are compared: an output subsidy and a price subsidy. The paper also considers two games: ...
The generation of alum sludge from drinking water purification process remains inevitable when aluminium sulphate is used as primary coagulant for raw water coagulation. Sustainable managing such the sludge becomes an ...
We study the implementation of social choice rules in incomplete information environments. A sufficiency condition called posterior reversal is given for extensive form implementation. The condition has a natural interpretation ...

Using the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, we find that true wage changes have many fewer nominal cuts and more nominal freezes than reported nominal wage changes. The data overwhelmingly rejects a model of flexible wage ...

This paper examines the responsiveness of real income and the balance of payments to external shocks in a small open economy. It is shown that tariff restrictions and age rigidities tend to increase responsiveness and quota ...

Risk is an inherent feature of agricultural production and marketing and accurate
measurement of it helps inform more efficient use of resources. This paper examines
three tail quantile-based risk measures applied to the ...
Focuses on the importance of the accurate modelling of market risk. Dates of extreme trading events experienced by derivative traders; Standard approach to modelling any market movement and its implications; Use of extreme ...
Extreme price movements associated with tail returns are catastrophic for all investors
and it is necessary to make accurate predictions of the severity of these events.
Choosing a time frame associated with large financial ...
This article uses Extreme Value Theory (EVT) to measure extreme risk in futures contracts with diverging underlying assets. The approach provides a framework for analysing the distributional properties of extreme returns. ...
This paper applies the extreme-value (EV) generalised pareto distribution to the extreme tails of the return distributions for the S&P500, FT100, DAX, Hang Seng, and Nikkei225 futures contracts. It then uses tail estimators ...
