Identification, Weak Instruments and Statistical Inference in Econometrics
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2003)We discuss statistical inference problems associated with identification and testability in econometrics, and we emphasize the common nature of the two issues. After reviewing the relevant statistical notions, we consider in turn inference in nonparametric ... -
(Il)legal Assignments in School Choice
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2017-05)In public school choice, students with strict preferences are assigned to schools. Schools are endowed with priorities over students. Incorporating different constraints from applications, priorities are often modeled as choice functions over sets ... -
The Impact of Decentralization on Growth and Democracy: a Note
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1995) -
The Impact of Recycling on the Long-Run Stock of Trees
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2009-08)Interest in recycling of forest products has grown in recent years, one of the goals being to conserve the stock of trees or possibly increase it to compensate for positive externalities generated by the forest and neglected by the market. This paper ... -
The impact of uncertainty in agriculture
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2018-08)Income uncertainty in the rural economy is widely considered an important impediment to growth in poor countries. This paper uses a rich dataset on productivity, land use, and output for 17 different crops across 500,000 plots of land in 87 countries ... -
Imposing equilibrium restrictions in the estimation of dynamic discrete games
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2019-09)Imposing equilibrium restrictions provides substantial gains in the estimation of dynamic discrete games. Estimation algorithms imposing these restrictions – MPEC, NFXP, NPL, and variations – have different merits and limitations. MPEC guarantees local ... -
Improving a Fragile Linear Logit Model Specified for High Speed Rail Demand Analysis in the Quebec-Windsor Corridor of Canada
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1994) -
In Defense of Welfarism
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2002)This paper characterizes welfarist social evaluation in a multi-profile setting where, in addition to multiple utility profiles, it is assumed that there are several profiles of non-welfare information. We prove new versions of the welfarism theorems ... -
In Search of Advice for Physicians in Entry-Level Medical Markets
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2003)We consider entry-level medical markets for physicians in the United Kingdom. These markets experienced failures which led to the adoption of centralized market mechanisms in the 1960's. However, different regions introduced different centralized ... -
Incentives in Multi-Period Regulation and Procurement : a Graphical Analysis
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1995) -
Inclusive fitness maximization: an axiomatic approach
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2013-05)Kin selection theorists argue that evolution in social contexts will lead organisms to behave as if maximizing their inclusive, as opposed to personal, fitness. The inclusive fitness concept allows biologists to treat organisms as akin to rational ... -
Indexation Lags Heterodox Stabilization Programs
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1995) -
Industrial Adjustment: Context, Causes, Impacts and Methods for Analysis
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1985)Adjustement is an ongoing process by which factors of reallocated to equalize their returns in different uses. Adjustment occurs though market mechanisms or intrafirm reallocation of resources as a result of changes in terms of trade, government policies, ... -
Industry-Specific Capiatl and the Wage Profile: Evidence from the NLSY and the PSID
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1995) -
Inference for nonparametric high-frequency estimators with an application to time variation in betas
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2015-07-24)We consider the problem of conducting inference on nonparametric high-frequency estimators without knowing their asymptotic variances. We prove that a multivariate subsampling method achieves this goal under general conditions that were not previously ... -
Infessing Technological Parameters from Incomplete Panel Data
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1995) -
Infinite-Horizon Choice Functions
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2006)We analyze infinite-horizon choice functions within the setting of a simple linear technology. Time consistency and efficiency are characterized by stationary consumption and inheritance functions, as well as a transversality condition. In addition, ... -
The Inflation Bias When the Central Bank Targets, the Natural Rate of Unemployment
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2001)This paper studies the proposition that an inflation bias can arise in a setup where a central banker with asymmetric preferences targets the natural unemployment rate. Preferences are asymmetric in the sense that positive unemployment deviations from ... -
Inflation dynamics and the New Keynesian Phillips Curve: an identification robust econometric analysis
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2005)In this paper, we use identification-robust methods to assess the empirical adequacy of a New Keynesian Phillips Curve (NKPC) equation. We focus on the Gali and Gertler’s (1999) specification, on both U.S. and Canadian data. Two variants of the model ... -
Inflation Targeting Under Asymmetric Preferences
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2001)This paper develops and estimates a game-theoretical model of inflation targeting where the central banker's preferences are asymmetric around the targeted rate. In particular, positive deviations from the target can be weighted more, or less, severely ...
