Mathematical Programming And Economic Theory, Herbert E. Scarf Nov 1989

Mathematical Programming And Economic Theory, Herbert E. Scarf

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

The paper discusses the analogy between economic institutions and algorithms for the solution of mathematical programming problems. The simplex method for solving linear programs can be interpreted as a search for market prices that equilibrate the demand for factors of production with their supply. An interpretation in terms of the internal organization of the large firm is offered for Lenstra’s integer programming algorithm.

Observability And Optimality, John Geanakoplos, Heracles M. Polemarchakis Oct 1989

Observability And Optimality, John Geanakoplos, Heracles M. Polemarchakis

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Observability of an individual’s excess demand function for assets and commodities as all prices and revenue vary suffices in order to recover his von Neumann-Morgenstern utility function. This is generically the case, even when the asset market is incomplete and the cardinal utility indices state dependent, as long as there are at least two commodities traded in spot markets at each state of nature. On the contrary, if the response of individuals’ excess demand for assets as prices in spot commodity markets vary is not observable, recoverability fails when the asset market is incomplete. In particular, it is not possible …


Asymptotics For Linear Processes, Peter C.B. Phillips, Victor Solo Oct 1989

Asymptotics For Linear Processes, Peter C.B. Phillips, Victor Solo

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

A method of deriving asymptotics for linear processes is introduced which uses an explicit algebraic decomposition of the linear filter. The method leads to substantial simplifications in the asymptotics and offers a unified approach to strong laws and central limit theory for linear processes. Sample means and sample covariances are covered. The results also accommodate both homogeneous and heterogeneous innovations as well as innovations with undefined means and variances.


Asymptotic And Finite Sample Distribution Theory For Iv Estimators And Tests In Partially Identified Structural Equations, In Choi, Peter C.B. Phillips Oct 1989

Asymptotic And Finite Sample Distribution Theory For Iv Estimators And Tests In Partially Identified Structural Equations, In Choi, Peter C.B. Phillips

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

General formula for the finite sample and asymptotic distributions of the instrumental variable estimators and the Wald statistics in a simultaneous equation model are derived. It is assumed that the coefficient vectors of both endogenous and exogenous variables are only partially identified, even though the order condition for identification is satisfied. This work extends previous results in Phillips (1989) where the coefficient vector of the exogenous variables is partially identified and that of the endogenous variables is totally unidentified. The effect of partial identification on the finite sample and asymptotic distributions of the estimators and the Wald statistics is analyzed …


Solving Systems Of Simultaneous Equations In Economics, John Geanakoplos, Wayne Shafer Oct 1989

Solving Systems Of Simultaneous Equations In Economics, John Geanakoplos, Wayne Shafer

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

We show that there is a broad range of systems of simultaneous equations that arise in economics as descriptions of equilibrium that can be solved in elementary fashion via degree theory. Some of these systems are not susceptible to analysis by standard Brouwer fixed point methods. Two of our applications are to general equilibrium with incomplete markets, and to nonconvex production with noncompetitive pricing rules.


Alternative Approaches To The Political Business Cycle, William D. Nordhaus Oct 1989

Alternative Approaches To The Political Business Cycle, William D. Nordhaus

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper reviews the theory and evidence concerning Political Business Cycles (PBC), which are based on the obvious facts of democratic life that voters care about the economy while politicians care about power. The first section provides an overview of different approaches to political cycles, describing five models that have been used in different contexts. The next two sections review major theoretical issues, with attention to the “microfoundations” of politico-economic systems, an exploration of the implications of ideological parties for political equilibria, and a formal analysis of a number of different PBC models. The empirical sections begin with an analysis …


Estimating Long Run Economic Equilibria, Peter C.B. Phillips, Mico Loretan Oct 1989

Estimating Long Run Economic Equilibria, Peter C.B. Phillips, Mico Loretan

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Our subject is econometric estimation and inference concerning long-run economic equilibria in models with stochastic trends. Our interest is focused on single equation specifications such as those employed in the Error Correction Model (ECM) methodology of David Hendry (1987, 1989 inter alia) and the semiparametric modified least squares method of Phillips and Hansen (1989). We start by reviewing the prescriptions for empirical time series research that are presently available. We argue that the diversity of choices is confusing to practitioners and obscures the fact that statistical theory is clear about optimal inference procedures. Part of the difficulty arises from the …


Testing For A Unit Root In The Presence Of Deterministic Trends, Peter C.B. Phillips, Peter Schmidt Oct 1989

Testing For A Unit Root In The Presence Of Deterministic Trends, Peter C.B. Phillips, Peter Schmidt

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper provides a new unit root test based on an alternative parameterization which has previously been considered by Bhargava (1986). This parameterization allows for trend under both the null and the alternative, without introducing any parameters that are irrelevant under either. This is not so in the Dickey-Fuller parameterizations. The new test is extracted from the score or LM principle under the assumption that the errors are iid N(0, sigma squared (epsilon)), but our asymptotics hold under more general assumptions about the errors. Two forms of the test (a coefficient test and at t-test) are derived.

Inflationary Expectations And Price Setting Behavior, Ray C. Fair Sep 1989

Inflationary Expectations And Price Setting Behavior, Ray C. Fair

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper tests for the existence of expectational effects in very disaggregate price equations. Price equations are estimated using monthly data for each of 40 products. The dynamic specification of the equations is also tested, including whether the equations should be specified in level form or in change form. Two expectational hypotheses are used, one in which expectations of the aggregate price level and one in which expectations are rational. Under the first hypothesis the lag length is estimated along with the other parameters, and under the second hypothesis the lead length is estimated along with the other parameters. The …


Additive Interactive Regression Models: Circumvention Of The Curse Of Dimensionality, Donald W.K. Andrews, Yoon-Jae Whang Sep 1989

Additive Interactive Regression Models: Circumvention Of The Curse Of Dimensionality, Donald W.K. Andrews, Yoon-Jae Whang

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper considers series estimators of additive interactive regression (AIR) models. AIR models are nonparametric regression models that generalize additive regression models by allowing interactions between different regressor variables. They place more restrictions on the regression function, however, than do fully nonparametric regression models. By doing so, they attempt to circumvent the curse of dimensionality that afflicts the estimation of fully nonparametric regression models. In this paper, we present a finite sample bound and asymptotic rate of convergence results for the mean average squared error of series estimators that show the AIR models do circumvent the curse of dimensionality. The …


Risk Analysis In Economics: An Application To University Finances, William D. Nordhaus Sep 1989

Risk Analysis In Economics: An Application To University Finances, William D. Nordhaus

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Although the theory of decision making under uncertainty has been extensively studied for a half century, applications to business applications are relatively rare. This study frames a systematic risk analysis and applies the technique to the finances of private colleges and universities. It begins by constructing budgets for colleges and universities and then analyzes the major economic factors affecting those budgets. It estimates the variability (or unpredictability) associated with each major external variable from historical data and from economic forecasts. The study finds that government-spending risks outweigh all other external stock market, interest rates, inflation, and wage trends. The paper …
