A Dyrosaurid Crocodile (Crocodylia: Mesocuchia) From The Paleocene Of Pakistan, Glenn W. Storrs Apr 1986

A Dyrosaurid Crocodile (Crocodylia: Mesocuchia) From The Paleocene Of Pakistan, Glenn W. Storrs

Postilla

A nearly complete vertebral column and portions of an associated pelvis and hind limb from Sind Province, southern Pakistan, are described and identified as those of a marine crocodile belonging to the poorly known family, Dyrosauridae. The fossil is the most complete of its kind yet known from Asia and adds to our knowledge of the postcranial anatomy of the dyrosaurs. Its occurrence in the late Paleocene (Thanetian) Lakhra Formation places it among the earliest of Asian dyrosaurid crocodiles and strengthens the view that the Dyrosauridae spread from Africa to Asia along the shores of Tethys. The source rocks are …

Defense Economics And Economic Warfare Revisited, J. Hoult Verkerke, Martin Shubik Apr 1986

Defense Economics And Economic Warfare Revisited, J. Hoult Verkerke, Martin Shubik

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

In this paper we paint with a broad brush. Our purpose is to present an overview, a status report, and by implication, an indication of what needs to be done at this time. We first provide a survey of topics in the economics of defense and in economic warfare, then we comment on some naval aspects of these topics.

Toward A Theory Of Discounted Repeated Games With Imperfect Monitoring, Dilip Abreu, David G. Pearce, Ennio Stacchetti Apr 1986

Toward A Theory Of Discounted Repeated Games With Imperfect Monitoring, Dilip Abreu, David G. Pearce, Ennio Stacchetti

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper investigates pure strategy sequential equilibria of repeated games with imperfect monitoring. The approach emphasizes the equilibrium value set and the static optimization problems embedded in external equilibria. We characterize these equilibria, and provide computational and comparative statics results. The “self-generation” and “bang-bang” propositions which were at the core of our analysis of optimal cartel equilibria [2], are generalized to asymmetric games and infinite action spaces. New results on optimal implicit reward functions include the necessity (as opposed to sufficiency) of bang-bang functions, and the nature of optimal punishment regions.

Issues Arising In Management And Control Of Naval Forces, Paul Bracken, Martin Shubik Apr 1986

Issues Arising In Management And Control Of Naval Forces, Paul Bracken, Martin Shubik

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper takes the context of political and military command as given and considers the fundamental question of how a modern navy fits in with the usual conception of nuclear deterrence between the United States and the Soviet Union. We here summarize the major issues, questions, and conclusions from this research as they serve to provide the context for our observations on the relevance of and potential for operations research and decision sciences contributions to providing understanding and analysis for these critical and highly qualitative problems.

Trends Versus Random Walks In Time Series Analysis, Steven N. Durlauf, Peter C.B. Phillips Apr 1986

Trends Versus Random Walks In Time Series Analysis, Steven N. Durlauf, Peter C.B. Phillips

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper studies the effects of spurious detrending in regression. The asymptotic behavior of traditional least squares estimators and tests are examined in the context of models where the generating mechanism is systematically misspecified by the presence of deterministic time trends. Most previous work on the subject has relied upon Monte Carlo studies to understand the issues involved in detrending data that is generated by integrated processes and our analytical results help to shed light on many of the simulation findings. Standard F tests and Hausman tests are shown to inadequately discriminate between the competing hypotheses. Durbin-Watson statistics, on the …

Consistency In Nonlinear Econometric Models: A Generic Uniform Law Of Large Numbers, Donald W.K. Andrews Apr 1986

Consistency In Nonlinear Econometric Models: A Generic Uniform Law Of Large Numbers, Donald W.K. Andrews

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

A basic tool of modern econometrics is a uniform law of large numbers (LLN). It is a primary ingredient used in proving consistency and asymptotic normality of parametric and nonparametric estimators in nonlinear econometric models. Thus, in a well-known review article, Burguete, Gallant, and Sousa [8, p. 162] introduce a uniform LLN with the statement: “The following theorem is the result upon which the asymptotic theory of nonlinear econometrics rests.” So pervasive is the use of uniform LLNs, that numerous authors appeal to an unspecified generic uniform LLN. Others appeal to some specific result. The purpose of this paper is …

Two Misspecification Tests For The Simple Switching Regressions Disequilibrium Model, Vassilis A. Hajivassiliou Apr 1986

Two Misspecification Tests For The Simple Switching Regressions Disequilibrium Model, Vassilis A. Hajivassiliou

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Two specification tests for switching regimes disequilibrium models are developed. The first is an asymptotically locally optimal Lagrange multiplier test of endogeneity of a set of regressors, which takes the convenient form of a LM significance-test of certain regression residuals. The second is a Hausman specification test of the accuracy of regime classification information.

Best Median Unbiased Estimation In Linear Regression With Bounded Asymmetric Loss Functions, Ray C. Fair Mar 1986

Best Median Unbiased Estimation In Linear Regression With Bounded Asymmetric Loss Functions, Ray C. Fair

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

We first show that the Generalized Least Squares estimator is the best median unbiased estimator of the regression parameters for quite general loss functions, when the parameter space is unrestricted. Of note is the fact that this result holds without moment restrictions. Thus, the errors may have multivariate Cauchy distribution. Next, we show that a restricted GLS estimator is best median unbiased for a linear combination of the regression parameters, when that linear combination is restricted to lie in an interval. Certain other linear combinations of the parameter vector may be subject to arbitrary additional restrictions. The paper then presents …

Edgeworth Equilibria In Production Economies, Charalambos D. Aliprantis, Donald J. Brown, Owen Burkinshaw Mar 1986

Edgeworth Equilibria In Production Economies, Charalambos D. Aliprantis, Donald J. Brown, Owen Burkinshaw

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

An Edgeworth equilibrium is an allocation that belongs to the core of every n -fold replica of the economy. In [2] we studied in the setting of Riesz spaces the properties of Edgeworth equilibria for pure exchange economies with infinite dimensional commodity spaces. In this work, we study the same problem for economies with production. Under some relatively mild conditions we establish (among other things) that: 1. Edgeworth equilibria exist; 2. Every Edgeworth equilibrium is a quasiequilibrium; and 3. An allocation is an Edgeworth equilibrium if and only if it can be “decentralized” by a price system.

Cointegration And Tests Of Present Value Models, John Y. Campbell, Robert J. Shiller Mar 1986

Cointegration And Tests Of Present Value Models, John Y. Campbell, Robert J. Shiller

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

In a model where a variable Y is proportional to the present value, with constant discount rate, of expected future values of a variable y , the “spread” S – Y – qy will be stationary for some q whether or not y must be differenced to induce stationarity. Thus, Y and y are cointegrated. The model implies that S is proportional to the optimal forecast of S *, the present value of future changes in y. We use vector autoregressive methods, and recent literature on cointegrated processes, to test the model. When Y is the long-term interest rate and …

Towards A Unified Asymptotic Theory For Autoregression, Peter C.B. Phillips Feb 1986

Towards A Unified Asymptotic Theory For Autoregression, Peter C.B. Phillips

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper develops an asymptotic theory for a first order autoregression with a root near unity. Deviations from the unit root theory are measured through a noncentrality parameter c . When c < 0 we have a local alternative that is stationary and when c > 0 the local alternative is explosive. As c approaches the limits of its domain of definition (±∞) it is shown that the asymptotic distributions known to apply under fixed stationary and explosive alternatives are obtained as special cases. Moreover, when c = 0 we have the standard unit root theory. Thus, the asymptotic theory that we present goes a long way towards unifying earlier theory for these individual …

Towards A Unified Asymptotic Theory For Autoregression, Peter C.B. Phillips

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper develops an asymptotic theory for a first order autoregression with a root near unity. Deviations from the unit root theory are measured through a noncentrality parameter. When this parameter is negative we have a local alternative that is stationary; when it is positive, the local alternative is explosive; and when it is zero we have the standard unit root theory. Our asymptotic theory accommodates these alternatives and helps to unify earlier theory in which the unit root case appears as a singularity of the asymptotics. The general theory is expressed in terms of functionals of a simple diffusion …

The Share Economy: A Symposium, William D. Nordhaus, Andrew John Feb 1986

The Share Economy: A Symposium, William D. Nordhaus, Andrew John

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

In June 1985, the Yale Economics Department sponsored a half-day conference on Martin Weitzman’s striking proposal that sharing would be introduced into compensation arrangements. His suggestions have received wide attention in the popular press and from economists, but the organizers believed that the suggestions were sufficiently novel and promising to warrant careful scrutiny from a wide range of points of view. The conference participants therefore examined the “share economy” from the vantage point of labor economics, capital theory, general equilibrium theory, and macroeconomics.
