Prices of durable nonrenewable natural resources under stochastic investment opportunities
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2011-11)On étudie l'évolution du prix d'une ressource naturelle non renouvelable dans le cas où cette ressource est durable, c'est-à-dire qu'une fois extraite elle devient un actif productif détenu hors terre. On emprunte à la théorie de la détermination du ... -

Priorities in the Location of Multiple Public Facilities
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2008-07)A collective decision problem is described by a set of agents, a profile of single-peaked preferences over the real line and a number k of public facilities to be located. We consider public facilities that do not su¤er from congestion and are ... -
Private Storage of Common Property
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1997)This paper examines a characteristic of common property problems unmodeled in the published literature: Extracted common reserves are aften stored privately rather than immediately. We examine the positive and normative effects of such storage. -
Probabilistic Assignments of Identical Indivisible Objects and Uniform Probabilistic Rules
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2001)We consider a probabilistic approach to the problem of assigning k indivisible identical objects to a set of agents with single-peaked preferences. Using the ordinal extension of preferences, we characterize the class of uniform probabilistic rules by ... -
Product Filters, Acyclicity and Suzumura Consistency
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2010-11-25)In a seminal contribution, Hansson (1976) demonstrates that the collection of decisive coalitions associated with an Arrovian social welfare function forms an ultrafilter. He goes on to show that if transitivity is weakened to quasi-transitivity as ... -
Production Linkages Between Informal and Formal Activities Considering Domestic and Imported Inputs: an Application of the Minimal-Flow-Analysis Method to Senegal
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1996)We apply to the Senegalese input-output matrix of 1990, disagregated into formal and informal activities, a recently designed structural analytical method (Minimal-Flow-Analysis) which permits to depict the direct and indirect production likanges ... -
A Profile of Gamblers
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1987)This Study Presents Both a Comprehensive Survey Jof the Empirical Literature on Gambling and Our Most Recent Research Based on Data Provided by Both Loto-Quebec and Statistics Canada. in Spite of All the Excitement Surrounding the Subject, the Typical ... -
The Progressivity of Equalization Payments in Federations
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2004)We investigate the conditions under which an inequality averse and additively separable welfarist constitution maker would always choose to set up a progressive equalization payments scheme in a federation with local public goods. A progressive ... -
Projection-Based Statistical Inference in Linear Structural Models with Possibly Weak Instruments
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2003)It is well known that standard asymptotic theory is not valid or is extremely unreliable in models with identification problems or weak instruments [Dufour (1997, Econometrica), Staiger and Stock (1997, Econometrica), Wang and Zivot (1998, Econometrica), ... -

Proximity-Sensitive Individual Deprivation Measures
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2012-12)We propose and characterize a generalization of the classical linear index of individual deprivation based on income shortfalls. Unlike the original measure, our class allows for increases in the income of a higher-income individual to have a ... -
A Prudent Central Banker
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2001)This paper studies monetary policy in an economy where the central banker's preferences are asymmetric around optimal inflation. In particular, positive deviations from the optimum can be weighted more, or less, severely than negative deviations in the ... -
Public Decisions: Solidarity and the Status Quo
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2006)A public decision model specifies a fixed set of alternatives A, a variable population, and a fixed set of admissible preferences over A, common to all agents. We study the implications, for any social choice function, of the principle of solidarity, ... -
Quadratic M-Estimators for ARCH-Type Processes
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1998)This paper addresses the issue of estimating semiparametric time series models specified by their conditional mean and conditional variance. We stress the importance of using joint restrictions on the mean and variance. This leads us to take into account ... -
Quasi-Transitive and Suzumura Consistent Relations
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2009-03)We examine properties of binary relations that complement quasi-transitivity and Suzumura consistency in the sense that they, together with the original axiom(s), are equivalent to transitivity. In general, the conjunction of quasi-transitivity and ... -
