Optimal response to a shift in regulatory regime: The case of the US nuclear ...
This paper studies the impact of the March 1979 Three Mile Island (TMI) accident on the regulation of nuclear power plants (NPPs) and its consequences for the operating... -
An investigation of the harvest decision of timber firms in the south-east Un...
In the forestry literature, stochastic extensions of the classic Faustmann model have become the predominant models of optimal harvesting on even-aged timber stands. A recent... -
An empirical model of asset replacement in dairy production (replication data)
Throughout the US dairy farm industry, observed rates of dairy cow replacement consistently exceed the rates prescribed as optimal by dairy economists. We attempt to uncover the... -
Analysing incomplete individual employment histories using indirect inference...
In this paper we apply the Indirect Inference method to estimate the parameters of a semi-Markov transition model when the data are subject to a complex form of censoring. There... -
Estimating a nonlinear rational expectations commodity price model with unobs...
This paper is concerned with the estimation of a model in which a possibly serially correlated stochastic process, the harvest of an agricultural commodity, generates a... -
Estimation of equilibrium wage distributions with heterogeneity (replication ...
Equilibrium search models generalize the one-sided models used earlier by endogenizing the wage offer distribution. Attempts to estimate versions of these equilibrium n search... -
Real-time pricing of electricity for residential customers: Econometric analy...
Under real-time pricing, a network operator sets the price level for a period according to a predefined scheme which depends on the state of demand and costs, and announces this... -
Cyclical properties of a real business cycle model (replication data)
This paper tests the well-known real business cycle model of Kydland and Prescott (1988), using spectral methods for linear filters. Model spectra, coherencies, phase shifts,... -
Testing the implications of long-run neutrality for monetary business cycle m...
This paper compares sample fluctuations of the US business cycle with those predicted by a class of equilibrium monetary business cycle models. The predictions of the models are... -
Asset trading, transaction costs and the equity premium (replication data)
A model is developed that attempts to explain the historical size of the US equity premium by distinguishing between gross and net returns accruing to agents. The model derived... -
A duration model of irreversible oil investment: Theory and empirical evidenc...
The aim of this paper is to analyse the implications of the theory of irreversible investment under uncertainty for investment in oil fields on the United Kingdom Continental... -
The linear quadratic adjustment cost model and the demand for labour (replica...
In this paper we demonstrate a new way of testing the linear quadratic adjustment cost (LQAC) model under rational expectations. We illustrate how the parameter restrictions... -
Statistical inference in calibrated models (replication data)
This paper describes a Monte Carlo procedure to assess the performance of calibrated dynamic general equilibrium models. The procedure formalizes the choice of parameters and... -
Estimating nonlinear time-series models using simulated vector autoregression...
This paper develops two new methods for conducting formal statistical inference in nonlinear dynamic economic models. The two methods require very little analytical...
