Real Money Balances And Production Efficiency: A Panel-Data Stochastic Production Frontier Study, Farrokh Nourzad
Real Money Balances And Production Efficiency: A Panel-Data Stochastic Production Frontier Study, Farrokh Nourzad
Economics Faculty Research and Publications
This paper examines the effect of four alternative measures of real money balances on production efficiency using annual panels of 10 developed and 10 developing countries. Using maximum likelihood, separate stochastic production frontiers are estimated, along with the parameters of an equation relating technical inefficiency to real money balances. The results for the sample of developed economies indicate that increases in real simple-sum M1, simple-sum M2, Divisia M1, and Divisia M2 enhance efficiency in the production sector. On the other hand, in the sample of developing nations, there is no evidence that real money balances reduce technical inefficiency.

What Determines Public Education Expenditures In A Transition Economy?, Inna Verbina, Abdur Chowdhury
What Determines Public Education Expenditures In A Transition Economy?, Inna Verbina, Abdur Chowdhury
Economics Faculty Research and Publications
Recent studies suggest that the allocation of expenditures in education matters for growth. Public education spending in many transition economies, however, is often inefficient and inequitable with education outlays misallocated across sectors. This highlights the need for an assessment of the nature of education expenditures in these countries. This paper attempts to fill the gap in the literature by estimating the determinants of education expenditures in the Russian Federation. Results from panel data analysis show that revenue and the student-population ratio have a positive impact on education expenditures while the effect of population density is negative. Three regional variables also …
By How Much Does Conflict Reduce Financial Development?, Tony Addison, Abdur Chowdhury, Syed M. Murshed
By How Much Does Conflict Reduce Financial Development?, Tony Addison, Abdur Chowdhury, Syed M. Murshed
Economics Faculty Research and Publications
Financial development is vulnerable to social conflict. Conflict reduces the demand for domestic currency as a medium of exchange and a store of value. Conflict also leads to poor quality governance, including weak regulation of the financial system, thereby undermining the sustainability of financial institutions. Conflict therefore reduces the social return to financial liberalization and other financial-sector reforms. This paper presents a theoretical model integrating the effects of conflict and financial liberalization, and then tests the model on data for 79 countries. Using an explanatory variable that measures the intensity of conflict (from low to high) the results show that …
