Gold, Liquidity And Secured Loans In A Multi-Stage Economy. Part Ii. Many Durables, Land And Gold, Martin Shubik, Shuntian Yao Apr 1989

Gold, Liquidity And Secured Loans In A Multi-Stage Economy. Part Ii. Many Durables, Land And Gold, Martin Shubik, Shuntian Yao

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

In a previous paper (Shubik and Yao, 1988) we examined a multistage exchange economy with m perishable goods and one infinitely durable gold used as money. we considered an economy without credit and one with one hundred percent secured loans. In this paper we consider an economy with m(1) goods which have finite lives and m(2) goods which are of infinite durability. Historically the two durables which have been prominent in economic activity have been gold and land, although one might wish to include platinum and some other items.


Time Series Regression With A Unit Root And Infinite Variance Errors, Peter C.B. Phillips Apr 1989

Time Series Regression With A Unit Root And Infinite Variance Errors, Peter C.B. Phillips

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Chan and Tran give the limit theory for the least squares coefficient in a random walk with the iid errors that are in the domain of attraction of a stable law. This note discusses their results and provides generalizations to the case of I(q) processes with weakly dependent errors whose distributions are in the domain of attraction of a stable law. General unit root tests are also studied. It is shown that the semiparametric corrections suggested by the author for the finite variance case continue to work when the errors have infinite variance. The limit laws are expressed in terms …


Market Innovation And Entrepreneurship: A Knightian View, Truman F. Bewley Apr 1989

Market Innovation And Entrepreneurship: A Knightian View, Truman F. Bewley

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Stimulated by Frank Knight’s work, “Risk, Uncertainty and Profit,” I present a theory of innovation based on what I term Knightian decision theory. This theory includes a concept of uncertainty aversion, a behavioral property that makes people reluctant to undertake new unevaluatable risks. This aversion is compounded when individuals are obliged to cooperate in undertaking risks. The theory leads directly to the conclusion that innovation in business is the natural domain of individual investors with unusually low levels of uncertainty aversion. Also, it should be difficult to innovate new markets for insurance of unevaluatable risks, for the success of a …

Testing For A Unit Root By Generalized Least Squares Methods In The Time And Frequency Domains, In Choi, Peter C.B. Phillips Mar 1989

Testing For A Unit Root By Generalized Least Squares Methods In The Time And Frequency Domains, In Choi, Peter C.B. Phillips

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

New time and frequency domain tests for the presence of a unit root are developed. The tests are based on generalized least squares (GLS) methods in both the time and the frequency domains. For the time domain tests, moving average processes are assumed for the error terms on the autoregression. For the frequency domain tests, general assumptions are made which allow for stationary and weakly dependent error processes. The limiting distributions of feasible GLS tests are derived under MA(1) errors in the time domain. This theory is extended to higher order moving average processes under an invertibility condition. The limiting …


The Transactions Cost Of Money (A Strategic Game Analysis), Martin Shubik, Shuntian Yao Mar 1989

The Transactions Cost Of Money (A Strategic Game Analysis), Martin Shubik, Shuntian Yao

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

The payments system of a modern economy is a peculiar mix of technological and institutional factors. Trade takes time and involves some form of money or credit. Going to the bank or arranging credits is expensive. Baumol (1952) and Tobin (1956) address the costs of transactions. However both the Baumol and the Tobin analysis was carried out in a partial equilibrium context. Here we address the task of considering the costs of banking in a closed strategic market game.


Asymptotics For Semiparametric Econometric Models: Ii. Stochastic Equicontinuity And Nonparametric Kernel Estimation, Donald W.K. Andrews Mar 1989

Asymptotics For Semiparametric Econometric Models: Ii. Stochastic Equicontinuity And Nonparametric Kernel Estimation, Donald W.K. Andrews

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper presents several stochastic equicontinuity results that are useful for establishing the asymptotic properties of estimators and tests in parametric, semiparametric, and nonparametric econometric models. In particular, they can be applied straightforwardly in the estimation and testing results of Andrews (1989b). The paper takes various stochastic equicontinuity results from the probability literature, which rely on entropy conditions of one sort or another, and provides primitive conditions under which the entropy conditions hold. This yields stochastic equicontinuity results that are readily applicable in a variety of contexts. This paper also presents a number of consistency results for nonparametric kernel estimators …

The Production Smoothing Model Is Alive And Well, Ray C. Fair Feb 1989

The Production Smoothing Model Is Alive And Well, Ray C. Fair

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Monthly data in physical units for seven industries are used to examine the production smoothing hypothesis. The results strongly support this hypothesis. Significant effects of expected future sales on current production are found for four industries, and the estimated decision equations for all seven industries imply production smoothing behavior. The previous negative results regarding the hypothesis appear to be due to the use of poor data, particularly the shipments and inventory data of the Department of Commerce.


Liquidity And Bankruptcy With Incomplete Markets: Pure Exchange, Pradeep Dubey, John Geanakoplos Feb 1989

Liquidity And Bankruptcy With Incomplete Markets: Pure Exchange, Pradeep Dubey, John Geanakoplos

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

We enlarge the standard model of general equilibrium with incomplete market (GEI), to incorporate liquidity constraints as well as the possibility of bankruptcy and default. A new equilibrium results, which we abbreviate GELBI (general equilibrium with liquidity, bankruptcy and incomplete markets). When the supply of bank money and bankruptcy/default penalties are taken sufficiently high (the high regime), GEI occur as GELBI. But outside the high regime many new phenomena appear: money is (almost) never neutral, it has positive value and its optimum quantity is often finite; bankruptcy and default not only occur in equilibrium but can have welfare improving consequences …

Streamfunctions For The Lateral Velocity Vector In A Compressible Ocean, Trevor J. Mcdougall Jan 1989

Streamfunctions For The Lateral Velocity Vector In A Compressible Ocean, Trevor J. Mcdougall

Journal of Marine Research

Streamfunctions are known in (i) geopotential surfaces, (ii) isobaric surfaces, (iii) surfaces of constant in situ density, ρ, and (iv) surfaces of constant steric anomaly, δ. lt is desirable to map a streamfunction in a surface in which most of the mixing and movement of water-masses occurs so that the streamlines obtained in two dimensions will approximate the flow paths of the full three-dimensional flow field. These surfaces are believed to be neutral surfaces, but while a streamfunction exists in a neutral surface, we do not as yet have a closed expression for it in terms of a …


Variability Of The Coastal Current And Nutrient Pathways In The Eastern Gulf Of Maine, David A. Brooks, David W. Townsend Jan 1989

Variability Of The Coastal Current And Nutrient Pathways In The Eastern Gulf Of Maine, David A. Brooks, David W. Townsend

Journal of Marine Research

The eastern Maine coastal current flows southwestward, carrying cold and nutrient-rich waters along the coast from the tidally stirred eastern gulf toward the central and western gulf, where in summer the waters are warmer and more stratified. The current typically turns offshore before reaching Penobscot Bay, near the central coast, at a location determined largely by the distribution of dense slope water in Jordan Basin. The slope water, which enters the gulf as a deep inflow from the Atlantic Ocean, thus plays a major role in determining the intensity, direction and timing of the delivery of nutrients to the interior …


Spectral Transform Simulations Of Finite Amplitude Double-Diffusive Instabilities In Two Dimensions, D. W. A. Whitfield, G. Holloway, J. Y. Holyer Jan 1989

Spectral Transform Simulations Of Finite Amplitude Double-Diffusive Instabilities In Two Dimensions, D. W. A. Whitfield, G. Holloway, J. Y. Holyer

Journal of Marine Research

Simulations of double-diffusion with a two-dimensional, vertical plane spectral transform model reveal details of finite amplitude behavior in salt finger, interleaving and diffusive instabilities. Within the range of fluid parameters studied (3 < σ < 10, .1 < r < .5), infinite, fastest-growing fingers are unstable to Holyer's (1984) nonoscillatory instability and are completely disrupted by it. Finite fingers localized on density steps are also disrupted. Initialized density steps are eroded (the gradients reduced). Fluxes and other diagnostic quantities were determined for salt finger fields at statistical stationarity. These fields contain transitory, irregular finger structures. Fluxes decline steeply as Rfp increases. A single point of comparison of buoyancy flux with ocean measurement yielded good agreement. The dependence of flux ratio on the stability parameter is similar to the linear theory prediction for fastest-growing, infinite fingers and does not increase as Rfp approaches 1, in contrast to laboratory measurements. Holyer's (1984) Floquet theory is extended to the case of nonzero, density compensating, …


Rates Of Vertical Mixing, Gas Exchange And New Production: Estimates From Seasonal Gas Cycles In The Upper Ocean Near Bermuda, William S. Spitzer, William J. Jenkins Jan 1989

Rates Of Vertical Mixing, Gas Exchange And New Production: Estimates From Seasonal Gas Cycles In The Upper Ocean Near Bermuda, William S. Spitzer, William J. Jenkins

Journal of Marine Research

Argon measurements, obtained from one year of monthly detailed vertical profiles near Bermuda (32N 64W), show a maximum in argon supersaturation of about 4% in the seasonal thermocline in late summer. Since the argon supersaturation is 3–4 times smaller than that of oxygen, most of the oxygen supersaturation is not of physical origin and hence must result from biological production. In the winter mixed layer, air injection produces argon supersaturation in spite of high gas exchange rates. During spring and summer, radiative heating, air injection, and an upward argon flux create an even larger supersaturation in the mixed layer. In …


Critical Control Of Zonal Jets By Bottom Topography, Larry J. Pratt Jan 1989

Critical Control Of Zonal Jets By Bottom Topography, Larry J. Pratt

Journal of Marine Research

The nonlinear influence of isolated topography on an equivalent barotropic, quasigeostrophic jet is considered. The flow depends on several dimensional parameters including the mass flux Q, the mean layer thickness H, the planetary potential vorticity gradient β the inertial boundary layer thickness (u0/β)½ and a parameter a – c measuring the north-south potential vorticity difference across the jet. Eastward jets can achieve one of two steady forms, the first supercritical and the second subcritical with respect to upstream propagation of a long potential vorticity wave. An isolated topographic feature such as a ridge …


Resonance Of Internal Waves In Fjords: A Finite-Difference Model, Benoit Cushman-Roisin, Vigdis Tverberg, Edgar G. Pavia Jan 1989

Resonance Of Internal Waves In Fjords: A Finite-Difference Model, Benoit Cushman-Roisin, Vigdis Tverberg, Edgar G. Pavia

Journal of Marine Research

After the time periodicity is removed from the problem, the spatial distribution of internal waves in a stratified fluid is governed by a hyperbolic equation. With boundary conditions specified all along the perimeter of the domain, information is transmitted in both directions (forward and backward) along every characteristic, and, unlike the typical temporal hyperbolic equation, the internal-wave equation is not amenable to a simple forward integration. The problem is tackled here with a finite-difference, relaxation technique by constructing a time-dependent, dissipative problem, the final steady state of which yields the solution of the original problem. Attempts at solving the problem …


O2 And Co2 Balances Approach For Estimating Biological Production In The Mixed Layer Of The Tropical Atlantic Ocean (Guinea Dome Area), C. Oudot Jan 1989

O2 And Co2 Balances Approach For Estimating Biological Production In The Mixed Layer Of The Tropical Atlantic Ocean (Guinea Dome Area), C. Oudot

Journal of Marine Research

The rates at which concentrations of oxygen and carbon dioxide change under the influence of the exchange with the atmosphere and biological production are derived from in situ measurements of O2 and CO2 in the mixed layer over a 10-day period in the Guinea Dome area. The rates of O2 production (10.3 mmol m–2 d–1) and CO2 consumption (13.0 mmol m–2 d–1) by photosynthetic activity exceed the evasion of O2 and CO2 into the atmosphere (respectively 2.4 and 1.2 mmol m–2 d–1). The net apparent …
