The Exact Distribution Of Liml: I, Peter C.B. Phillips Dec 1982

The Exact Distribution Of Liml: I, Peter C.B. Phillips

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

It is shown that the exact finite sample distribution of the limited information maximum likelihood (LIML) estimator in a general and leading single equation case is multivariate Cauchy. When the LIML estimator utilizes a known error covariance matrix (LIMLK) it is proved that the same Cauchy distribution still applies. The corresponding result for the instrumental variable (IV) estimator is a form of multivariate t density where the degrees of freedom depend on the number of instruments.

Optimal Labor Contracts And The Role Of Monetary Policy In An Overlapping Generations Model, Russell Cooper Dec 1982

Optimal Labor Contracts And The Role Of Monetary Policy In An Overlapping Generations Model, Russell Cooper

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper extends the optimal labor contracts literature to consider an environment with both real and nominal shocks. In an overlapping generations model, we compare alternative means of trading labor services: spot markets, fixed nominal wage contracts and price-contingent contracts. The ordering of these market structures will depend on the relative variability of the real and nominal shocks and the costs of contingent contracts. We also investigate the role of monetary policy and the circumstances under which feedback rules are neutral. Finally, we show that a non-stochastic monetary policy is optimal.

Scarf's Procedure For Integer Programming And A Dual Simplex Algorithm, Philip M. White, Andrew S. Caplin, Ludo Van Der Heyden Nov 1982

Scarf's Procedure For Integer Programming And A Dual Simplex Algorithm, Philip M. White, Andrew S. Caplin, Ludo Van Der Heyden

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Herbert Scarf has recently introduced an algorithm for integer programs based on the concept of primitive sets. We show that as the choice variables become continuous, this algorithm converges to a dual simplex algorithm. This result is robust in the sense that even before the limit is reached, the simplex path is contained in the primitive sets which define Scarf’s path to the solution of the integer program.

Revelation Of Information In Strategic Market Games: A Critique Of Rational Expectations, Pradeep Dubey, John Geanakoplos, Martin Shubik

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

We criticize the R.E.E. approach to asymmetric information general equilibrium because it does not explain how information gets “into” the prices. This leads to well-known paradoxes. We suggest a multiperiod game instead, where the flow of information into and out of prices is explicitly modeled. In our game Nash equilibria (N.E.) (1) generalize Walrasian equilibria to asymmetric information; (2) exist generically; (3) eliminate pure speculation; (4) allow prices to reveal information and markets to become more efficient over time; (5) are consistent with the weak efficient markets hypothesis that tracking past prices is not profitable; (6) yet always lead to …


Stable Disequilibrium Prices: Macroeconomics And Increasing Returns I, Geoffrey M. Heal Nov 1982

Stable Disequilibrium Prices: Macroeconomics And Increasing Returns I, Geoffrey M. Heal

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

The paper establishes conditions for the existence of a set of prices which are stable and at which markets do not clear, providing a rigorous foundation for the existence of fixed-price equilibria via the macroeconomics of increasing returns. It analyzes a Walrasian price adjustment process for a general equilibrium economy with economies of scale in production.

Robust And Asymptotically Efficient Estimation Of Location In A Stationary Strong Mixing Gaussian Parametric Model, Donald W.K. Andrews Nov 1982

Robust And Asymptotically Efficient Estimation Of Location In A Stationary Strong Mixing Gaussian Parametric Model, Donald W.K. Andrews

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper considers the problem of robust estimation of location in a model with stationary strong mixing Gaussian parametric distributions. An estimator is found that is within epsilon of being asymptotically efficient at the Gaussian parametric distribution and is within epsilon of being optimally robust! For the robustness results a Huber-type minimax criterion is used, where minimaxing takes place over neighborhoods of the parametric Gaussian distributions. The neighborhood system considered includes distributions of strong mixing processes and allows for deviations from the normal univariate parametric distributions within a Hellinger metric neighborhood, as well as deviations from stationarity and from the …

On Allocative Distortions In Problems Of Self-Selection, Russell Cooper Sep 1982

On Allocative Distortions In Problems Of Self-Selection, Russell Cooper

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper considers the general structure of self-selection models. By imposing conditions which permit the ordering of agents by their preferences, we provide a characterization of the distortions inherent in the sorting process. We also discuss extensions of the basic model such as randomization. Time Series Behavior of Prices for Overlapping Futures Contracts, with an Application to Soybean Futures


The Structure Of Social Risk, William D. Nordhaus, Steven N. Durlauf Sep 1982

The Structure Of Social Risk, William D. Nordhaus, Steven N. Durlauf

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

It is increasingly recognized that the structure of financial risks interacts with economic or fundamental risks in a way that influence real economic outcomes. Recent work documents, on the one hand, the apparent excessive sensitivity of financial markets to economic shocks (see especially Shiller (1979)); and on the other hand the close dependence of investment and economic variables on financial variables. One of the central developments to analyze such interactions has been portfolio theory, particularly the capital asset pricing model (CAPM). This field has been extremely fertile, and has seen an outpouring of both theoretical and empirical work. Unfortunately, virtually …
