The Empirical Issue Of Smuggling: A Discussion Of Methodology, Scott Fausti
The Empirical Issue Of Smuggling: A Discussion Of Methodology, Scott Fausti
Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)
The theoretical results attained from the literature on Illegal Transactions in International Trade suggest: 1) a positive link between the duty levied and the level of smuggling effort; 2) a nonnegative domestic relative price effect; and 3) an ambiguous social welfare effect. The theoretical results predict the generation of some type of distortion. The literature labels these distortions "disparities" and divides them into three categories: price, value, and quantity. These distortions represent the empirically measurable effects of smuggling on the domestic economy. This paper makes the proposition that the "price disparity" distortion is the variable that empirical studies should examine …

The ‘Dice’ Model: Background And Structure Of A Dynamic Integrated Climate-Economy Model Of The Economics Of Global Warming, William D. Nordhaus
The ‘Dice’ Model: Background And Structure Of A Dynamic Integrated Climate-Economy Model Of The Economics Of Global Warming, William D. Nordhaus
Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers
This study is designed to present the methodological and technical assumptions and the results behind the Dynamic Integrated model of Climate and the Economy (the DICE model). It is a model that attempts to use the tools of modern economics to determine an efficient strategy for coping with the threat of global warming. The fundamental premise behind this study is that societies should undertake environmental policies only when their benefits, broadly construed, exceed their costs and that the level of environmental control should be at that point where the incremental benefits of additional controls no longer exceed the incremental costs. …
The Cowles Commission Approach, Real Business Cycle Theories, And New Keynesian Economics, Ray C. Fair
The Cowles Commission Approach, Real Business Cycle Theories, And New Keynesian Economics, Ray C. Fair
Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers
The Cowles Commission approach is reviewed and compared to the approaches of real business cycle (RBC) theorists and new Keynesian economists. It is argued that RBC models are not tested in a serious enough way and that the new Keynesian literature is not empirical enough for testing even to be a serious possibility. Macroeconomics seems to be moving away from its traditional empirical basis, which is sad. This paper argues for returning to the path that was abandoned by most macroeconomists around 1970, namely the specification and testing of structural macroeconometric models.
Estimates Of The Bias Of Lagged Dependent Variable Coefficient Estimates In Macroeconomic Equations, Ray C. Fair
Estimates Of The Bias Of Lagged Dependent Variable Coefficient Estimates In Macroeconomic Equations, Ray C. Fair
Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers
A stochastic-simulation method is proposed in this paper for obtaining median unbiased estimates of lagged dependent variable coefficients in macroeconomic models. Estimated biases for 13 equations of a macroeconomic model are computed. These biases are on average somewhat smaller in absolute bias than would be expected from Andrews’ exact results for an equation with only a constant term, time trend, and lagged dependent variable, although they are larger than would be expected from Hurwicz’s original estimates. In a practical sense the estimated biases are not very large because they have little effect on the overall predictive accuracy of the model …
Disability Or Work: Handicap Policy Choices, Richard V. Burkhauser
Disability Or Work: Handicap Policy Choices, Richard V. Burkhauser
Center for Policy Research
Cross-national comparisons of disability programs and disabled populations show that the social environment workers with handicaps face can be as important as their health in affecting their movement into disability. In this context, Richard Burkhauser reviews American disability policy over the business cycles of the past two decades. He finds that strong economic recovery has, in general, overcome the sharp drop in the well-being of people with handicaps brought on by the recession and the reduction in program benefits in the early 1980s. However, the doubly handicapped, those with both health limitations and poor work skills, have not recovered.
Reality Or Illusion: The Importance Of Creaming On Job Placement Rates In Job Training Partnership Act Programs, Kathryn H. Anderson, Richard V. Burkhauser, Jennie E. Raymond
Reality Or Illusion: The Importance Of Creaming On Job Placement Rates In Job Training Partnership Act Programs, Kathryn H. Anderson, Richard V. Burkhauser, Jennie E. Raymond
Center for Policy Research
Critics of the Job Partnership Training Act of 1982 (JTPA) argue that most of its job placement success has been the result of the "creaming" of participants--that is, of serving individuals who are most employable at the expense of those most in need. Using a bivariate probit model of JTPA trainee selection and job placement success, this paper analyzes the selection of JTPA past recipients. It provides a first approximation of the importance of nonrandom selection on job placement rates. Creaming is found to take place within service delivery areas (SDAs), especially with respect to the avoidance of eligible high …
The Impact Climate On Agriculture: A Ricardian Approach, Robert Mendelsohn, William D. Nordhaus, Daigee Shaw
The Impact Climate On Agriculture: A Ricardian Approach, Robert Mendelsohn, William D. Nordhaus, Daigee Shaw
Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers
Because of the potential for global warming, there are widespread concerns about the impact of changing climate upon the productivity of land in farming and other sectors. This paper develops a new approach for measuring the economic impact of environmental factors such as climate on production by examining the direct impact of the environmental factor on land productivity as measured by land prices. This new method is applied to examine the effect of climate on agriculture using cross-sectional farm data for almost 3000 counties in the United States. It finds substantial impacts of climatic variation on both land values and …
W(H)Ither The Middle Class? A Dynamic View, Greg J. Duncan, Timothy M, Smeeding, Willard Rodgers
W(H)Ither The Middle Class? A Dynamic View, Greg J. Duncan, Timothy M, Smeeding, Willard Rodgers
Center for Policy Research
A constant theme throughout the history of the U.S. has been the growth of the middle class and the promise of its growth for the elimination of poverty. By the late 1980s, social analysts sensed a decline in the size of the American middle class which later was verified through cross-section analysis of wage and salary and income distribution data. Using time series from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics for prime-age males, this study moves beyond verification of the shrinking of the middle class. The analysis examines changes in both income and wealth and finds that wealth increases reinforced …
How People With Disabilities Fare When Public Policies Change--Past, Present, And Future, Richard V. Burkhauser, Robert H. Haveman, Barbara L. Wolfe
How People With Disabilities Fare When Public Policies Change--Past, Present, And Future, Richard V. Burkhauser, Robert H. Haveman, Barbara L. Wolfe
Center for Policy Research
In this paper the authors analyze the effects of two decades of federal disability policy and macroeconomic fluctuation on the well-being of men with disabilities. Their findings indicate that both have dramatically affected the economic well-being of people with disabilities both absolutely and relative to people without disabilities. Using data from the Current Population Survey (19681988) they find that by 1987 the households of white or well-educated male heads with disabilities had fully recovered from the program cuts and recession of the early 1980s. However, to a large extent this recovery was due to additional earnings by spouses. Alternatively, the …
Modeling Application For Disability Insurance As A Retirement Decision: A Hazard Model Approach Using Choice-Based Sampling, Richard V. Burkhauser, J.S. Butler, Yang Woo Kim, George A. Slotsve
Modeling Application For Disability Insurance As A Retirement Decision: A Hazard Model Approach Using Choice-Based Sampling, Richard V. Burkhauser, J.S. Butler, Yang Woo Kim, George A. Slotsve
Center for Policy Research
This paper models the decision to apply for Social Security Disability Insurance Benefitsas a special case of a more general dynamic retirement decision model. It uses a multi-state, continuous-time hazard to test the effect of policy variables on the speed at which workers applyfor benefits following the onset of a work limitation. Policy variables are found to matter. A higher expected replacement rate increases the risk of application. This effect is significant in asmall sample of the general population and in a sample which also includes a weighted choice-based sample of disability insurance applicants.
A Cautionary Tale Of European Disability Policies: Lessons For The United States, Leo Arts, Richard V. Burkhauser, Philip De Jong
A Cautionary Tale Of European Disability Policies: Lessons For The United States, Leo Arts, Richard V. Burkhauser, Philip De Jong
Center for Policy Research
Variations in the size of the population receiving disability payments across countries cannot be explained by simple differences in health. Rather, the process to disability is shaped by both social and medical factors. When governments ignore this reality, a policy generated disability epidemic is possible. This paper compares disability policies in The Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, and the United States. It argues that the extraordinary increase in Dutch disability rolls in the 1970s was caused by a general government policy to reduce official unemployment. And that by the end of the 1980s, this policy had left Holland with a hidden unemployment …
Earnings Losses Of Displaced Workers, Louis S. Jacobson, Robert J. Lalonde, Daniel G. Sullivan
Earnings Losses Of Displaced Workers, Louis S. Jacobson, Robert J. Lalonde, Daniel G. Sullivan
Upjohn Institute Working Papers
The 1990-1991 recession has intensified concerns about the consequences of workers' job losses. To estimate the magnitude and temporal pattern of displaced workers' earnings losses, we exploit an unusual administrative data set that includes both employees' quarterly earnings histories and information about their firms. We find that when high-tenure workers separate from distressed firms their long-term losses average 25 percent per year. Further, their losses mount even prior to separation, are not limited to workers in a few industrial sectors, and are substantial even for those who find new jobs in similar firms. This evidence suggests that displaced workers' earnings …
Economic Summit Declarations, 1975-1989: Examining The Written Record Of International Cooperation, George M. Von Furstenberg, Joseph P. Daniels
Economic Summit Declarations, 1975-1989: Examining The Written Record Of International Cooperation, George M. Von Furstenberg, Joseph P. Daniels
Economics Faculty Research and Publications
This study audits commitments contained in economic declarations made following fifteen annual economic summit meetings of the United States, Japan, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, and Canada from 1975 to 1989. It concludes that country executives make commitments in good faith but that subsequent compliance is impeded domestically by lack of control over the instruments of implementation and internationally by the absence of specified supporting policies or acts of international coordination. In addition, the language used in the declarations necessarily reflects the exigencies of diplomacy and is therefore usually imprecise. Even though the credibility of summit undertakings is generally …
"Earth Summit": Un Spectacle With A Cast Of Thousands, Murray L. Weidenbaum
"Earth Summit": Un Spectacle With A Cast Of Thousands, Murray L. Weidenbaum
Murray Weidenbaum Publications
Under the guise of cleaning up the environment, the UN sponsored the first-ever "Earth Summit" in June 1992 in Rio de Janeiro. The conference, officially titled the UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), was estimated to have been the largest conference ever held in the world at the time. UNCED's wide-ranging agenda obscures any real focus for the meeting, which attempted to synthesize economic and environmental globally. Given this unprecedented scope, much of the material leading up to the conference was hysterical, emotionalized, and unscientific in nature.

Benefit Incidence Analysis In Developing Countries, Thomas Mathiasen Selden, Michael J. Wasylenko
Economics - All Scholarship
As interesting and difficult as it is to allocate tax burdens to individuals, the profession knows even less about allocating benefits. The authors survey the literature on benefit incidence since DeWulf's (1975) review, focusing on the methodology and results of benefit incidence analysis in developing countries. Research in this area faces all the general-equilibrium difficulties faced by tax incidence analysis as well as the difficult task of measuring benefits from publicly provided goods and services. Despite the inherent pitfalls of this methodology, the authors believe that benefit incidence analysis can provide an important perspective on the budget by combining data …
