ARM‐BREAKING, CONSUMER CREDIT AND PERSONAL BANKRUPTCY
Economic Inquiry - Tập 22 Số 2 - Trang 188-208 - 1984
Samuel A. Rea
The consumer credit transaction is analyzed as a contract which provides insurance as well as present consumption for the borrower. Creditors' remedies such as “arm‐breaking” are shown to facilitate provision of insurance (forgiveness of debts) when lenders cannot monitor outcomes. Alternatively, if outcomes are observable but lenders do not ex ante know the risk associated with each borro...... hiện toàn bộ
THEORIES OF COMMITMENT, ALTRUISM AND RECIPROCITY: EVIDENCE FROM LINEAR PUBLIC GOODS GAMES
Economic Inquiry - Tập 45 Số 2 - Trang 199-216 - 2007
Rachel Croson
Theories of commitment, altruism, and reciprocity have been invoked to explain and describe behavior in public goods and social dilemma situations. Commitment has been used to explain behaviors like water conservation and voting. Altruism has been applied to explain contributions to charities and intergenerational transfers and bequests. Reciprocity has been invoked to explai...... hiện toàn bộ
RAISING THE STAKES IN THE ULTIMATUM GAME: EXPERIMENTAL EVIDENCE FROM INDONESIA
Economic Inquiry - Tập 37 Số 1 - Trang 47-59 - 1999
Lisa Cameron
The ultimatum game has generated considerable interest because experimental evidence strongly rejects the standard game‐theoretic predictions. A limitation to this general result is the possibility that experimental results are an artifact of small stakes. Implementing the ultimatum game in Indonesia makes it possible to raise the stakes to three times the monthly expenditure of the averag...... hiện toàn bộ
INCOMPLETE CONTRACTING: A LABORATORY EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS
Economic Inquiry - Tập 31 Số 2 - Trang 274-297 - 1993
Steven C. Hackett
Incomplete contracts are motivated by difficulties in specifying contingent responses to unforeseen change in long‐term trading relationships. The issues can be parsimoniously represented in a two‐period model. Parties first make transaction‐specific investment that enhances value or reduces cost. Surplus is then realized, and bargaining divides the surplus and completes the contract. The ...... hiện toàn bộ
ASYMMETRY IN THE EFFECTS OF MONETARY AND GOVERNMENT SPENDING SHOCKS: CONTRASTING EVIDENCE AND IMPLICATIONS
Economic Inquiry - Tập 40 Số 2 - Trang 288-313 - 2002
Magda Kandil
Using quarterly data for the United States, demand contraction exceeds expansion in the face of monetary and government spending shocks. Demand contraction in the face of government spending shocks, is absorbed in nominal wage and price deflation. The variability of government spending shocks decreases average wage and price inflation. In contrast, the upward flexibility of price appears i...... hiện toàn bộ
CYCLICAL COMOVEMENTS IN INDUSTRIAL LABOR AND PRODUCT MARKETS: THEORY AND EVIDENCE
Economic Inquiry - Tập 35 Số 4 - Trang 725-744 - 1997
Magda Kandil, Jeffrey G. Woods
We establish the theoretical connection between industrial labor and product markets within the contractual wage‐rigidity new Keynesian explanation of business cycles. We estimate time‐series and cross‐sectional regressions for 28 private two‐digit (S.I.C.) industries and find: (i) greater uncertainty is associated with upward flexibility of the nominal wage and moderates the countercyclic...... hiện toàn bộ
DO NATURAL DISASTERS PROMOTE LONG‐RUN GROWTH?
Economic Inquiry - Tập 40 Số 4 - Trang 664-687 - 2002
Mark Skidmore, Hideki Toya
In this article, we investigate the long‐run relationships among disasters, capital accumulation, total factor productivity, and economic growth. The cross‐country empirical analysis demonstrates that higher frequencies of climatic disasters are correlated with higher rates of human capital accumulation, increases in total factor productivity, and economic growth. Though disaster risk redu...... hiện toàn bộ
NATURAL DISASTERS AS CREATIVE DESTRUCTION? EVIDENCE FROM DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
Economic Inquiry - Tập 46 Số 2 - Trang 214-226 - 2008
Jesús Crespo Cuaresma, Jaroslava Hlouskova, Michael Obersteiner
Recent studies found a robust positive correlation between the frequency of natural disasters and the long‐run economic growth after conditioning for other determinants. This result is interpreted as evidence that disasters provide opportunities to update the capital stock and adopt new technologies, thus acting as some type of Schumpeterian creative destruction. The results o...... hiện toàn bộ
THE RATE OF RETURN TO MEXICAN AMERICANS AND ANGLOS ON AN INVESTMENT IN A COLLEGE EDUCATION
Economic Inquiry - Tập 21 Số 3 - Trang 400-411 - 1983
Richard Raymond, Michael Sesnowitz
Rates of return to an investment in a college education are estimated for Mexican American and Anglo male college graduates with majors in business, accounting, education and liberal arts. The returns, estimated for 1967, 1970 and 1973 graduates of Pan American University, are quite substantial for all but the Anglo education majors. The returns to the business and accounting majors substa...... hiện toàn bộ
SHOULD OIL PRICES RECEIVE SO MUCH ATTENTION? AN EVALUATION OF THE PREDICTIVE POWER OF OIL PRICES FOR THE U.S. ECONOMY
Economic Inquiry - Tập 46 Số 4 - Trang 528-539 - 2008
Lance Bachmeier, Qi Li, Dandan Liu
This paper evaluates the potential gains from using oil prices to forecast a variety of measures of inflation, economic activity, and monetary policy–related variables. With a few exceptions, oil prices do not have any predictive content for these variables. This finding is robust to the use of rolling forecast windows, the use of industry‐level data, changes in the forecast ...... hiện toàn bộ
