Labor Market Institutions and Gender Differences in Wage Inequality
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1996)In this paper, we present graphical and quantitative evidence on the important role played by changes in labor market institutions on the rise in wage inequality in the United States during the 1980s. We show that the decline in the real value of the ... -

Land Ownership, Working Capital, and the Agricultural Output: Egypt, 1913-1958
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1995)A simple model is constructed in which short-term credit is needed to finance the purchase of inputs, in which there is bankruptcy risk, and in which we argue were important characteristics of Egyptian agriculture during the first half of this century, ... -

Latent Variable Models for Stochastic Discount Factors
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2000)Latent variable models in finance originate both from asset pricing theory and time series analysis. These two strands of literature appeal to two different concepts of latent structures, which are both useful to reduce the dimension of a statistical ... -
Legal Institutions, Sectoral Heterogeneity, and Economic Development
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2008-07)Poor countries have lower PPP–adjusted investment rates and face higher relative prices of investment goods. It has been suggested that this happens either because these countries have a relatively lower TFP in industries producing capital goods, or ... -
Lien Entre Capital Fictif, Markup Flexible et Inflation
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1985)Dans Cet Article J'ai Cherche a Demontrer les Liens Qui Existent Entre la Theorie Quantitative de la Monnaie, la Theorie du \"Markup\" et L'inflation. Bien Qu'il Ne Soit Pas Necessaire D'admettre L'equilibre et les Courbes Is-Lm, Ma Theorie du Capital ... -
Liquidity traps, capital flows
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2015-12-17)Motivated by debates surrounding international capital flows during the Great Recession, we conduct a positive and normative analysis of capital flows when a region of the global economy experiences a liquidity trap. Capital flows reduce inefficient ... -
Local Interactions
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2010-06)Local interactions refer to social and economic phenomena where individuals' choices are influenced by the choices of others who are "close" to them socially or geographically. This represents a fairly accurate picture of human experience. Furthermore, ... -
Logique et tests d'hypotheses: reflexions sur les problemes mal poses en econometrie
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2001)Dans ce texte, nous analysons les développements récents de l’économétrie à la lumière de la théorie des tests statistiques. Nous revoyons d’abord quelques principes fondamentaux de philosophie des sciences et de théorie statistique, en mettant l’accent ... -

Macroclosures in Open Economy Cge Models: a Numerical Reappraisal
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1987)It Has Been Argued That in the Construction and Simulation Process of Computable General Equilibrium (Cge) Models, the Choice of the Proper Macroclosure Remains a Fundamental Problem. in This Study, with a Standard Cge Model, We Simulate Disturbances ... -
The Macroeconomic Effects of Infrequent Information with Adjustment Costs
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1997)In the last decade, the potential macroeconomic effects of intermittent large adjustments in microeconomic decision variables such as prices, investment, consumption of durables or employment – a behavior which may be justified by the presence of kinked ... -

Macroemesures in Computable General Equilibrium Models: a Probabilistic Treatment with an Application to Morocco
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1996)With the help of an illustrative general equilibrium (CGE) model of the Moroccan Economy, we test for the significance of simulation results in the case where the exact macromesure is not known with certainty. This is done by computing lower and upper ... -

Manipulation via Capacities Revisited
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2009-03)This paper revisits manipulation via capacities in centralized two-sided matching markets. Sönmez (1997) showed that no stable mechanism is nonmanipulable via capacities. We show that non-manipulability via capacities can be equivalently described by ... -
