Household Economies : The Production And Consumption Of Plumbate At Miguel AlemáN, The Conquista Campesina Complex And The PiñUela Complex, Marx Navarro-Castillo
Household Economies : The Production And Consumption Of Plumbate At Miguel AlemáN, The Conquista Campesina Complex And The PiñUela Complex, Marx Navarro-Castillo
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
The Soconusco region of Chiapas, Mexico, where the sites of Miguel Alemán, the Conquista Campesina Complex (Conq-18) and the Piñuela Complex (PIN) are located, has been an object of study by archaeologists since the beginning of the nineteenth century. My project focused at this locale is concerned with craft production as related to the organization and the development of hierarchical social relations and how this relationship is reflected through diverse indexes. Although Plumbate ceramics are my principal source of information, I studied other ceramic types as well.
Democracy, Political Externalities & The Labour-Process, Nicholas Alan Partyka
Democracy, Political Externalities & The Labour-Process, Nicholas Alan Partyka
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
My dissertation focuses on elaborating a problem for democratic political institutions posed by an externality of the capitalist labour-process, particularly for more participatory conceptions of democracy and democratic citizenship. I argue that the labour-process under capitalism causes a transformation in the skill-level and personality of worker-citizens. In the main, the direction of this transformation is towards workers who lack important deliberative skills enabling them to effectively participate in democratic politics. If one is committed to democracy as a means of collective self-government, then this negative transformation, or deformation, should be troubling. If the labour-process under capitalism deprives workers of the …

The differences between the daily routine of fitting the yield curve (or equivalently, the forward rate curve) and the dynamic
Heterogeneity In Housing : Evidence From Regional Prices, Monetary Policy Transmission And Wealth Distribution In China, Lili Wu
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Housing market displays a high degree of heterogeneity in China: house prices show great uneven patterns across regions; housing markets present remarkably various roles in trasmitting outside shocks to real economies; housing wealth exhibits obviously asymmetric profile in holding and distribution among households, etc. To investige these heterogeneities is the single purpose of this paper.
Forecasting Binary Outcomes : Estimation, Evaluation And Combination, Liu Yang
Forecasting Binary Outcomes : Estimation, Evaluation And Combination, Liu Yang
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Forecasting binary outcomes is involved in a wide variety of decision-making settings. This dissertation addresses the econometric issues related to predicting binary outcomes from three perspectives: estimation, evaluation and combination. All methodologies are empirically illustrated by predicting economic recessions in the United States.
Psychiatric Disorders And Their Impact On Labor Market Outcomes : A Latent Variable Approach Using Multiple Clinical Indicators, Souvik Banerjee
Psychiatric Disorders And Their Impact On Labor Market Outcomes : A Latent Variable Approach Using Multiple Clinical Indicators, Souvik Banerjee
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Psychiatric disorders are highly disabling and affect a substantial proportion of the working age population in the US. They have been associated with reductions in employment, labor force participation, labor supply, lower productivity and earnings. This dissertation examines the effect of mental illness on labor market outcomes, focusing on issues of endogeneity and measurement of mental illness.
Essays On Health Insurance Reform, Brian James Fischer
Essays On Health Insurance Reform, Brian James Fischer
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Overlapping generations general equilibrium models are developed to study health insurance reforms in the U.S. The models share common features such as heterogeneity in health, medical expenditures, productivity, endogenous insurance decisions, and capture key aspects of the U.S. insurance system. Each model is calibrated to match the 2007 U.S. economy.
A Stochastic Volatility Model With Leverage Effect And Regime Switching, Hong Jiang
A Stochastic Volatility Model With Leverage Effect And Regime Switching, Hong Jiang
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Modeling the volatility of asset returns is a very important study in financial economics. Among the time-varying volatility models, the Stochastic Volatility (SV) models are argued to have advantages over the autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARCH) models. The purpose of this article is to put forward a generalized and flexible Stochastic Volatility model, the Stochastic Volatility Model with Leverage Effect and Regime Switching (SVLR model), which could capture the complex features of financial time series to the most extent.
Early Health And Human Capital Accumulation : An Econometric Analysis Using The Psid-Cds, 1997-2007, Dohyung Kim
Early Health And Human Capital Accumulation : An Econometric Analysis Using The Psid-Cds, 1997-2007, Dohyung Kim
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
The first chapter estimates the effect of fetal growth on academic achievement in childhood using a nested error-component two-stage least squares (NEC2SLS) estimator that draws on internal instruments from alternative dimensions of the multi-level panel data structure of the panel data set. This estimation method increases efficiency by exploiting information on children with no siblings in the sample as well as identifies coefficients for the time-invariant, mother-specific regressors, all of which are not feasible with conventional mother-fixed effects estimation. We estimate modest but statistically significant effects of birth weight and fetal growth rate on math and reading scores, with the …
Trends In The Effect Of Economic Insecurity On The Allocation Of Household Expenditures In The U.S., 1980-2005, Kirsten Bartlett Lauber
Trends In The Effect Of Economic Insecurity On The Allocation Of Household Expenditures In The U.S., 1980-2005, Kirsten Bartlett Lauber
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
The transition to late-capitalism in the U.S. has generated extensive societal change. This paper examines the intersection of three of these changes: the transition to a consumer-oriented economic and societal model, the increase of economic insecurity experienced by individuals and households and the heightened emphasis on a short-term orientation in individual decision-making. A review of literature from the fields of Sociology, Economics and Psychology describes differing understandings of how individuals react to the heightened economic insecurity that households experience under late-capitalism. Within mainstream Economics', theoretical and empirical work suggests that individuals respond to insecurity by reducing spending and maximizing long-term …
Local Power Of Panel Unit Root Tests : Impact Of Initial Values In Finite Samples, Xiaomei Li
Local Power Of Panel Unit Root Tests : Impact Of Initial Values In Finite Samples, Xiaomei Li
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
This dissertation investigates and compares the performance of the panel unit root tests in terms of local power. The tests considered include the Gaussian power envelope, the pooled t-tests based on the Dickey-Fuller (DF) least squares demeaning and on the initial value demeaning, the IPS test proposed in Im, Pesaran, and Shin (2003) , and the Fisher-P type tests. Cases where the panel data have no fixed effects and where the panel data contain fixed effects are studied. The model allows for heterogeneity not only in the auto-regressive coefficients and the error terms but also in the fixed effects. The …
