Baby-boom, baby-bust and the Great Depression
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2014-11)The baby-boom and subsequent baby-bust have shaped much of the history of the second half of the 20th century; yet it is still largely unclear what caused them. This paper presents a new unified explanation of the fertility Boom-Bust that links the ... -
The Backing of Government Debt and the Price Level
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2003)This paper studies the interdependence between fiscal and monetary policies, and their joint role in the determination of the price level. The government is characterized by a long-run fiscal policy rule whereby a given fraction of the outstanding debt, ... -

Bandits in the Lab
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2018-08)We test Keller, Rady, Cripps’ (2005) game of strategic experimentation with exponential bandits in the laboratory. We find strong support for the prediction of free-riding because of strategic concerns. We also find strong evidence for behavior that ... -

Bayesian Analysis for a Theory of Random Consumer Demand: The Case of Indivisible Goods
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2004)McCausland (2004a) describes a new theory of random consumer demand. Theoretically consistent random demand can be represented by a \"regular\" \"L-utility\" function on the consumption set X. The present paper is about Bayesian inference for regular ... -
Bayesian inference and model comparison for random choice structures
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2013-07)We complete the development of a testing ground for axioms of discrete stochastic choice. Our contribution here is to develop new posterior simulation methods for Bayesian inference, suitable for a class of prior distributions introduced by McCausland ... -
Belief-weighted Nash aggregation of Savage preferences
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2018-09)The 'belief-weighted Nash social welfare functions' are methods for aggregating Savage preferences defined over a set of acts. Each such method works as follows. Fix a 0-normalized subjective expected utility representation of every possible preference ... -
Beyond Panel Unit Root Tests: Using Multiple Testing to Determine the Non Stationarity Properties of Individual Series in a Panel
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2009-10)Most panel unit root tests are designed to test the joint null hypothesis of a unit root for each individual series in a panel. After a rejection, it will often be of interest to identify which series can be deemed to be stationary and which series can ... -

Les biens communs sans tragédie : effets de la pression sociale et des convictions
(2013-11-07)Pourquoi faire un effort pour la communauté sans rien recevoir en retour? C’est habituellement par conviction ou pour répondre à une norme sociale. En s’intéressant au problème du recyclage, nous définissons un modèle de comportement qui intègre ces ... -
The birth of the congressional clinic
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2018-08)This paper studies the impact of mortality in the districts/states represented in key congressional groups (i.e. committees, subcommittees, and parties) on the National Institutes of Health (NIH) allocation of medical research funds across diseases, ... -
Blocking pairs versus blocking students: Stability comparisons in school choice
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2020-04)It is known that there are school choice problems without an efficient and stable assignment. We consider comparing assignments in terms of their stability by comparing their sets of blocking (student-school) pairs or comparing their sets of blocking ... -
Bootstrap for panel data models with an application to the evaluation of public policies
(2012-12-03)Le but de cette thèse est d étendre la théorie du bootstrap aux modèles de données de panel. Les données de panel s obtiennent en observant plusieurs unités statistiques sur plusieurs périodes de temps. Leur double dimension individuelle et temporelle ... -
The Bootstrap of Mean for Dependent Heterogeneous Arrays
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2001)Presently, conditions ensuring the validity of bootstrap methods for the sample mean of (possibly heterogeneous) near epoch dependent (NED) functions of mixing processes are unknown. Here we establish the validity of the bootstrap in this context, ... -

Bootstrapping Autoregressions with Conditional Heteroskedasticity of Unknown Form
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2003)Conditional heteroskedasticity is an important feature of many macroeconomic and financial time series. Standard residual-based bootstrap procedures for dynamic regression models treat the regression error as i.i.d. These procedures are invalid in the ... -
Bootstrapping factor models with cross sectional dependence
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2018-07)We consider bootstrap methods for factor-augmented regressions with cross sectional dependence among idiosyncratic errors. This is important to capture the bias of the OLS estimator derived recently by Gonçalves and Perron (2014). We first show that a ... -
Bootstrapping high frequency data
(2013-11-07)Nous développons dans cette thèse, des méthodes de bootstrap pour les données financières de hautes fréquences. Les deux premiers essais focalisent sur les méthodes de bootstrap appliquées à l’approche de "pré-moyennement" et robustes à la présence ... -
Borrowing Constraints and Female Labor Supply: Nonparametric and Parametric Evidence of the Impact of Martgage Lending Rules

Budget-Balance, Fairness and Minimal Manipulability
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2010-10-20)A common real-life problem is to fairly allocate a number of indivisible objects and a fixed amount of money among a group of agents. Fairness requires that each agent weakly prefers his consumption bundle to any other agent’s bundle. Under fairness, ... -
Bundling under the Threat of Parallel Trade
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2006)This paper examines the use of bundling by a firm that sells in two national markets and faces entry by parallel traders. The firm can bundle its main product, - a tradable good- with a non-traded service. It chooses between the strategies of pure ... -
Bureaucratic Corruption As a Constraint on Voter Choice
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1986)It Has Often Been Assumed That a Country's Tax Level, Tax Structure Progressivity and After-Tax Income Distribution Are Chosen by Voters Subject Only to Their Budget Constraints. This Paper Argues That At Certain Income Levels Voters' Decisions May Be ... -

Candidate Stability and Nonbinary Social Choice
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2001)A desirable property of a voting procedure is that it be immune to the strategic withdrawal of a candidate for election. Dutta, Jackson, and Le Breton (Econometrica, 2001) have established a number of theorems that demonstrate that this condition is ... -

Causalités à court et à long terme dans les modèles VAR et ARIMA multivariés
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1993)La causalité au sens de Granger est habituellement définie par la prévisibilité d'un vecteur de variables par un autre une période à l'avance. Récemment, Lutkepohl (1990) a proposé de définir la non-causalité entre deux variables (ou vecteurs) par la ... -

A Characterization of Consistent Collective Choice Rules
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2006-08)We characterize a class of collective choice rules such that collective preference relations are consistent. Consistency is a weakening of transitivity and a strengthening of acyclicity requiring that there be no cycles with at least one strict preference. ... -
A Characterization of Exact Non-atomic Market Games
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2013-09)Continuous exact non-atomic games are naturally associated to certain operators between Banach spaces. It thus makes sense to study games by means of the corresponding operators. We characterize non-atomic exact market games in terms of the properties ...
