On The Existence Of An Ei Niño-Type Phenomenon In The Benguela System, L. V. Shannon, A. J. Boyd, G. B. Brundrit, J. Taunton-Clark

Journal of Marine Research

Since the early 1950s, although there have been several warm and cool periods in the Benguela region off southwestern Africa, e.g. the warm event in the southern part of the system during the austral summer of 1982/83, only two events which approximate to an El Niño-type situation have occurred, viz in 1963 and in 1984. During the 1963 event temperatures 2–4°C and salinities 0.1–0.2 × 10⁻³ above normal were recorded in the upper 50 m off Namibia up to at least 150 km offshore. The pressure adjusted sea level during 1963 was on average 4 cm above the …

A Variational Method For Inverting Hydrographic Data, Christine Provost, Rick Salmon

Journal of Marine Research

We present a new method for estimating the three-dimensional field of geostrophic velocity from hydrographic station data. Very simply, we ask for the smoothest velocity field (in the sense of an arbitrarily defined norm) which is consistent with the data and with selected approximate dynamical constraints to within prescribed misfits, which, we will argue, should never be zero. The misfits represent errors in the data and in the approximate dynamical constraints. By varying the misfits relatively to one another, we explore the full envelope of physically plausible estimates of the average geostrophic flow. We illustrate the method by application to …

Rossby Adjustment Over A Step, A. E. Gill, M. K. Davey, E. R. Johnson, P. F. Linden

Journal of Marine Research

The adjustment of a rotating fluid to a geostrophic equilibrium is now a classical problem in the theory of rotating fluids and is associated with the name of Rossby because of his pioneering work in this subject. The case of particular interest here is the one where the fluid is initially at rest but has a discontinuity in surface elevation along a certain line. If the bottom is flat, the adjustment gives rise to a jet flowing along the line of the initial discontinuity, the width of the jet being the Rossby radius of deformation. This paper examines how the …

On Finitely Repeated Games And Pseudo-Nash Equilibria, Chien-Fu Chou, John Geanakoplos

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

In this paper we propose a pseudo-Nash equilibrium for N -person games in which very simply we allow play in the last period to be arbitrary, but otherwise it must conform to the (perfect) Nash optimality criterion.

Walrasian Indeterminacy And Keynesian Macroeconomics, John Geanakoplos, Heracles M. Polemarchakis

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Overlapping generations models with or without production or a portfolio demand for money display a fundamental indeterminacy. Expectations matter; and they are not, in the short run, constrained by the hypotheses of agent optimization, rational expectations, and market clearing. No short run policy analysis is possible without some explicit understanding of how agents expect the economy to respond to the policy. In this framework of perfect foresight and market clearing prices, it is possible to make Keynesian assumptions about the rigidity of money wages and the exogeneity of “animal spirits” of investors, to use the standard IS-LM apparatus, and to …

The Uses, Value And Limitation Of Game Theoretic Methods In Defense Analysis, Martin Shubik

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

The central contribution of game theory to defense analysis has been a language for the understanding of how to formulate and study strategic or cross-purposes optimization in situations involving two or more actors. It is suggested here in this discussion that two fundamentally different classes of application of game theory to problems in defense have emerged. The first is the application of two-person zero sum game theory to military, primarily tactical situations which for the purposes at hand can be reasonably well modeled in this manner. The second is the application of two or more person nonconstant sum game theory …

Comparative Statics And Local Indeterminacy In Olg Economies: An Application Of The Multiplicative Ergodic Theorem, John Geanakoplos, Donald J. Brown

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This study is an effort to give a simple measure of the local size of the equilibrium set of OLG economies in which there may be more than one good and more than one consumer per period, and in which the generations may differ across time.

Fractional Matrix Calculus And The Distribution Of Multivariate Tests, Peter C.B. Phillips

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Fractional matrix operator methods are introduced as a new tool of distribution theory for use in multivariate analysis and econometrics. Earlier work by the author on this operational calculus is reviewed and to illustrate the use of these methods we give an exact distribution theory for a general class of tests in the multivariate linear model. This distribution theory unifies and generalizes previously known results, including those for the standard F statistic in linear regression, for Hotelling’s T 2 test and for Hotelling’s generalized T -2 test. We also provide a simple and novel derivation of conventional asymptotic theory as …

Asymptotic Results For Generalized Wald Tests, Donald W.K. Andrews

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This note presents conditions under which a quadratic form based on a g-inverted weighting matrix converges to a chi-square distribution as the sample size goes to infinity. Subject to fairly weak underlying conditions, a necessary and sufficient condition is given for this result. The result is of interest, because it is needed to establish asymptotic significance levels and local power properties of generalized Wald tests (i.e., Wald tests with singular limiting covariance matrices). Included in this class of tests are Hausman specification tests and various goodness of fit tests, among others. The necessary and sufficient condition is relevant to procedures …
