  • Gale's fixed tax for exchanging houses 

    Andersson, Tommy; Ehlers, Lars; Svensson, Lars-Gunnar; Tierney, Ryan (Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2018-06)
    We consider the taxation of exchanges among a set of agents where each agent owns one object. Agents may have different valuations for the objects and they need to pay taxes for exchanges. Using basic properties, we show that if pairwise (or some) ...
  • Games with unobservable heterogeneity and multiple equilibria: an application to mobile telecommunications 

    Marcoux, Mathieu (Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2019-02)
    To shed light on the limited success of competition enhancing policies in mobile telecommunications, I estimate a game of transceivers’ locations between national incumbents and a new entrant in Canada. I recover player-specific unobserved heterogeneity ...
  • A Generalized Index of Fractionalization 

    Bossert, Walter; D'Ambrosio, Conchita; LA FERRARA, Eliana (Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2008-01)
    The goal of this paper is to contribute to the economic literature on ethnic and cultural diversity by proposing a new index that is informationally richer and more flexible than the commonly used ‘ethno-linguistic fractionalization’ (ELF) index. We ...
  • Generalized Portmanteau Statistics and Tests of Randomness 

    Dufour, Jean Marie; ROY, Roch (Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1985)
  • The Ghost in the Machine: Inferring Machine-Based Strategies from Observed Behavior 

    ENGLE-WARNICK, Jim; McCausland, William J.; MILLER, John H. (Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2004)
    We introduce a procedure to infer the repeated-game strategies that generate actions in experimental choice data. We apply the technique to set of experiments where human subjects play a repeated Prisoner's Dilemma. The technique suggests that two types ...
  • GLS Detrending, Efficient Unit Root Tests and Structural Change 

    Perron, Pierre; Rodriguez, Gabriel (Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1998)
    We extend the class of M-tests for a unit root analyzed by Perron and Ng (1996) and Ng and Perron (1997) to the case where a change in the trend function is allowed to occur at an unknown time. These tests M(GLS) adopt the GLS detrending approach of ...
  • GMM Estimators for Linear Regression Models with Errors in the Variables 

    Dagenais, Marcel; Dagenais, Denyse L. (Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1994)
  • GMM Estimators for Linear Regression Models with Errors in the Variables 

    Dagenais, Marcel; Dagenais, Denyse L. (Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1994)
  • Government Expenditure and the Dynamics of High Inflation 

    Ruge-Murcia, Francisco (Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1995)
  • Governments and the Decentralization 

    Lacroix, Robert; Martin, Fernand (Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1987)
    The Purpose of This Article Is to Show How Costs and Benefits of Geographical Decentralization of R&D Can Be Identified and Compared. the Benefits for the Region That Receives R&D Activities Are Studied in Section 1. They Stem From the Short-Run ...
  • The growth impact of language standardization : Metcalfe’s Law and the industrial revolution 

    Dudley, Léonard; Rauh, Christopher (2020-01-13)
    During the Industrial Revolution, did population growth stimulate innovation, or did causality run primarily from innovation to growth? Previous research fails to explain why between 1700 and 1850: (i) most innovation originated in three clusters of ...
  • Habit Formation and the Persistence of Monetary Shocks 

    Bouakez, Hafedh; Cardia, Emanuela; Ruge-Murcia, Francisco (Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2002)
    This paper studies the persistent effects of monetary shocks on output. Previous empirical literature documents this persistence, but standard general equilibrium models with sticky prices fail to generate output responses beyond the duration of ...
  • The hard problem of prediction for conflict prevention 

    Mueller, Hannes; Rauh, Christopher (Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2019-04)
    There is a rising interest in conflict prevention and this interest provides a strong motivation for better conflict forecasting. A key problem of conflict forecasting for prevention is that predicting the start of conflict in previously peaceful ...
  • Harsanyi’s Social Aggregation Theorem : A Multi-Profile Approach with Variable-Population Extensions 

    Blackorby, Charles; Bossert, Walter; Donaldson, David (Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2003)
    This paper provides new versions of Harsanyi’s social aggregation theorem that are formulated in terms of prospects rather than lotteries. Strengthening an earlier result, fixed-population ex-ante utilitarianism is characterized in a multi-profile ...
  • The Hessian Method (Highly Efficient State Smoothing, In a Nutshell) 

    McCausland, William J. (Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2008-03)
  • Heterodox Inflation Stabilization in Argentina, Brazil, and Israel. A Historical Review and Some Stylized Facts 

    Ruge-Murcia, Francisco (Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1997)
    This article presents a review of the stabilization attempts in Argentina, Brazil, and Israel during the 1980’s. Earlier research is summarized and complemented with additional sources of contemporaneous information and a detailed analysis of institutional ...

  • The hotelling model with multiple demands 

    Gaudet, Gérard; Salant, Stephen W. (Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2013-10)
    The purpose of this chapter is to provide an elementary introduction to the non-renewable resource model with multiple demand curves. The theoretical literature following Hotelling (1931) assumed that all energy needs are satisfied by one type of ...
  • House allocation via deferred-acceptance 

    Ehlers, Lars; Klaus, Bettina (Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2013-07)
    We study the simple model of assigning indivisible and heterogenous objects (e.g., houses, jobs, offi ces, etc.) to agents. Each agent receives at most one object and monetary compensations are not possible. For this model, known as the house allocation ...
