Efficient tests of long-run causation in trivariate VAR processes with a roll...
This paper develops a simple sequential multiple-horizon non-causation test strategy for trivariate VAR models (with one auxiliary variable). We apply the test strategy to a... -
A practical log-linear aggregation method with examples: heterogeneous income...
A practical aggregation method for heterogeneous log-linear functions is presented. Inequality measures are employed in the construction of a simple but exact aggregate... -
Peer effects, financial aid and selection of students into colleges and unive...
This paper develops a model in which colleges seek to maximize the quality of the educational experience provided to their students. We deduce predictions about the hierarchy of... -
