Unilateral Deviations With Perfect Information, Pradeep Dubey, Ori Haimanko Nov 2000

Unilateral Deviations With Perfect Information, Pradeep Dubey, Ori Haimanko

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

For extensive form games with perfect information, consider a learning process in which, at any iteration, each player unilaterally deviates to a best response to his current conjectures of others’ strategies; and then updates his conjectures in accordance with the induced play of the game. We show that, for generic payoffs, the outcome of the game becomes stationary in finite time, and is consistent with Nash equilibrium. In general, if payoffs have ties or if players observe more of each others’ strategies than is revealed by plays of the game, the same result holds provided a rationality constraint is imposed …


Does Democracy Engender Equality?, John E. Roemer Nov 2000

Does Democracy Engender Equality?, John E. Roemer

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Many suppose that democracy is an ethos which includes, inter alia, a degree of economic equality among citizens. In contrast, we conceive of democracy as ruthless political competition between groups of citizens, organized into parties. We inquire whether such competition, which we assume to be concerned with distributive matters, will engender economic equality in the long run. The society consists of an infinite sequence of generations, each comprised of adults and their children. Adults care about household consumption, and the future wages of their children, which are determined by educational policy. A given generation is characterized by the distribution of …


Alternative Methods For Measuring Productivity Growth, William D. Nordhaus Nov 2000

Alternative Methods For Measuring Productivity Growth, William D. Nordhaus

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

The present study is a contribution to the theory of the measurement of productivity growth. First, it examines the welfare-theoretic basis for measuring productivity growth and shows that the ideal welfare-theoretic measure is a chain index of productivity growth rates of different sectors which uses current output weights. Second, it lays out a technique for decomposing productivity growth which separates aggregate productivity growth into three factors — the pure productivity effect, the effect of changing shares, and the effect of different productivity levels. Finally, it shows how to apply the theoretically correct measure of productivity growth and indicates which of …


Structural Change In Tail Behavior And The Asian Financial Crisis, Carmela E. Quintos, Zhenhong Fan, Peter C.B. Phillips Nov 2000

Structural Change In Tail Behavior And The Asian Financial Crisis, Carmela E. Quintos, Zhenhong Fan, Peter C.B. Phillips

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper explores tests of the hypothesis that the tail thickness of a distribution is constant over time. Using Hill’s conditional maximum likelihood estimator for the tail index of a distribution, tests of tail shape constancy are constructed that allow for an unknown breakpoint. The recursive test is shown to be inconsistent in one direction, and only a one-sided test is recommended. Specifically, the test can be used when the alternative hypothesis is that the tail index decreases over time. A rolling and sequential version of the test is consistent in both directions. The methods are illustrated on recent stock …


Productivity Growth And The New Economy, William D. Nordhaus Nov 2000

Productivity Growth And The New Economy, William D. Nordhaus

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

The present study is the third in a series of three papers devoted to issues in the measurement of productivity and productivity growth. The major findings are as follows. First, this study shows that the new data set used here, which develops data on total output, business sector output, and “well-measured” output, and relying on income-side data, provides a useful supplement to existing data sets. Second, there has clearly been a rebound in labor-productivity growth in recent years. All three sectoral definitions show a major acceleration in labor productivity in the last three years of the period (1996-98) relative to …


New Data And Output Concepts For Understanding Productivity Trends, William D. Nordhaus Nov 2000

New Data And Output Concepts For Understanding Productivity Trends, William D. Nordhaus

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

The present study is the second is a series of three papers devoted to issues in the measurement of productivity and productivity growth. The contributions of the present paper are three. First, it introduces a new approach to measuring industrial productivity based on income-side data that are published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA). The data are internally consistent in that both inputs and outputs are income-side measures of value added, whereas the usual productivity measures combine expenditure-side output measures with income-side input measures. Second, because of interest in the “new economy,” we have also constructed a set of …

A Graphical Analysis Of Some Basic Results In Social Choice, Estelle Cantillon, Antonio Rangel Nov 2000

A Graphical Analysis Of Some Basic Results In Social Choice, Estelle Cantillon, Antonio Rangel

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

We use a simple graphical approach to represent Social Welfare Functions that satisfy Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives and Anonymity. This approach allows us to provide simple and illustrative proofs of May’s Theorem, of variants of classic impossibility results, and of a recent result on the robustness of Majority Rule due to Maskin (1995). In each case, geometry provides new insights on the working and interplay of the axioms, and suggests new results including a new characterization of the entire class of Majority Rule SWFs, a strengthening of May’s Theorem, and a new version of Maskin’s Theorem.
