On The Causal Dynamics Between Economic Growth, Renewable Energy Consumption, Co2 Emissions And Trade Openness: Fresh Evidence From Brics Countries, Maamar Sebri Dec 2013

On The Causal Dynamics Between Economic Growth, Renewable Energy Consumption, Co2 Emissions And Trade Openness: Fresh Evidence From Brics Countries, Maamar Sebri

Maamar Sebri

The current study investigates the causal relationship between economic growth and renewable energy consumption in the BRICS countries over the period 1971–2010 within a multivariate framework. The ARDL bounds testing approach to cointegration and vector error correction model (VECM) are used to examine the long-run and causal relationships between economic growth, renewable energy consumption, trade openness and carbon dioxide emissions. Empirical evidence shows that, based on the ARDL estimates, there exist long-run equilibrium relationships among the competing variables. Regarding the VECM results, bi-directional Granger causality exists between economic growth and renewable energy consumption, suggesting the feedback hypothesis, which can explain …

A Smooth Transition Sem Approach To Measure Contagion In International Markets\, Anjeza Kadilli, Jaya Krishnakumar Oct 2013

A Smooth Transition Sem Approach To Measure Contagion In International Markets\, Anjeza Kadilli, Jaya Krishnakumar

Anjeza Kadilli

There is extensive empirical evidence that market linkages strengthen during crises. Understanding market contagion can be of great importance for policy and portfolio diversification decisions, especially during the recent turmoil periods. The aim of this paper is to investigate in an asset-pricing perspective the cross-asset and the cross-country contagion in the sovereign Credit Default Swap market and in the banking sector for the euro area, U.S., U.K. and Switzerland. Based on the nonlinear Simultaneous Equation Model of Pesaran and Pick (2007) we formulate a more flexible setting in which the contagion effect is transmitted in a smooth manner. Our model …


A Note On Dummies For Policies In Gravity Models: A Montecarlo Experiment, Claudio Vicarelli, Maria Pina Cipollina, Luca Salvatici, Luca De Benedictis Sep 2013

A Note On Dummies For Policies In Gravity Models: A Montecarlo Experiment, Claudio Vicarelli, Maria Pina Cipollina, Luca Salvatici, Luca De Benedictis

Claudio Vicarelli

The use of the gravity model to evaluate the effect of policies in a cross-country framework is largely predominant in the international economics empirical literature. This literature usually implements importer and exporter fixed effects to account for the theoretical Multilateral Trade Resistances, while preferential trade policies are approximated through the use of dummy variables. Results from a Monte Carlo experiment confirms that the identification of trade policy impact using a gravity equation including fixed effects is severely limited. Moreover, the consequences of the error in measurement of the policy variable are magnified by the fixed effects control for unobserved heterogeneity.

Exito Económico Y Volatilidad ¿Existen Los Almuerzos Gratis?, Francisco Carlos Ruiz Diaz Jun 2013

Exito Económico Y Volatilidad ¿Existen Los Almuerzos Gratis?, Francisco Carlos Ruiz Diaz

Francisco Carlos Ruiz Diaz

El crecimiento sostenido es factible, pero debe sustentarse en el sacrificio social (ahorro para promover la acumulación de capital físico, humano e innovaciones). No existen los milagros, ni los almuerzos gratis. Para crecer sostenidamente se debe transpirar. Paraguay viene experimentando algunos años en que el PIB crece a tasas elevadas. Esto es porque el país ha comenzado a producir, a escala intensiva, bienes con fuerte demanda mundial y precios elevados. Estos productos son de origen agropecuarios y la venta al extranjero se da en estado natural o con escaso valor agregado. Este hecho transformó la dinámica productiva del país dado …

Testing Integrated Primary Care And Public Health Models For Prevention Delivery, Glen Mays

Glen Mays

Improving the delivery of evidence-tested prevention interventions to populations at greatest risk requires strong coordination between primary care providers and public health organizations. This presentation reviews current research on models for integrated delivery of primary care and public health services, and identifies emerging research needs and opportunities. Of particular interest are the roles that practice-based research networks (PBRNs) can play in building this evidence.


Public Health Roi: Evidence, Experience, And Remaining Questions, Glen Mays Apr 2013

Public Health Roi: Evidence, Experience, And Remaining Questions, Glen Mays

Glen Mays

Expanding the delivery of efficacious public health and prevention strategies holds considerable potential for improving health outcomes and constraining costs across the U.S. health system. Unfortunately, lingering certainties about the costs required to expand public health delivery systems and about the health and economic effects of such expansions has muted private and public support for increased public health expenditures. This lecture examines recent evidence from public health services and systems research studies that examine the health and economic value of public health delivery, and identifies remaining research needs for the field.

Public Health Delivery Systems And Population Health: What We Know And Need To Learn, Glen P. Mays Feb 2013

Public Health Delivery Systems And Population Health: What We Know And Need To Learn, Glen P. Mays

Glen Mays

Efforts to improve population health hinge on the performance of the complex and heterogeneous delivery systems that are charged with implementing public health programs and policies across the U.S. Rigorous research on public health delivery systems historically has been much more limited than research on the specific programs and policies they deliver. Correcting these gaps in knowledge and evidence will allow for accelerated progress in improving health and containing costs through prevention.


Estimating The Health And Economic Effects Of Public Health Spending, Glen P. Mays Feb 2013

Estimating The Health And Economic Effects Of Public Health Spending, Glen P. Mays

Glen Mays

Preventable health conditions account for more than 75% of the $2.7 trillion spent annually on health care in the U.S., yet less than 5% of these expenditures are devoted to public health programs and services that are designed to prevent and control disease and injury rather than to treat the downstream consequences of these conditions. Such limited expenditures in public health may contribute to the higher rates of preventable morbidity, mortality and excess medical costs experienced in the U.S. compared to other high-income countries. In this presentation, I update previous estimates of the health effects and medical cost offsets associated …

Cointegration Analysis Of Oil Prices And Consumer Price Index In South Africa Using Stata Software, Mphumuzi A. Sukati Mr Jan 2013

Cointegration Analysis Of Oil Prices And Consumer Price Index In South Africa Using Stata Software, Mphumuzi A. Sukati Mr

Mphumuzi A Sukati Mr

This paper investigates the concept of vector autoregression (VAR) and cointegration using a bivariate model of global oil prices and headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) in South Africa. The study aims to determine how much of inflation is driven by oil prices. Particular attention is paid to the theoretical underpinnings of cointergration analysis and the application of STATA software to undertake such analysis and perform test statistics. Contrary to the popular myth that a rise in global oil prices fuels inflation, this study has observed that global oil prices are not the drivers of inflation in South Africa. In this …


The Effectiveness Of Competition Policy: An Econometric Assessment In Developed And Developing Countries, Danilo Samà Jan 2013

The Effectiveness Of Competition Policy: An Econometric Assessment In Developed And Developing Countries, Danilo Samà

Dr. Danilo Samà

The effectiveness of competition policy: an econometric assessment in developed and developing countries
Author:Dr Danilo Samà (LUISS “Guido Carli” University, Law & Economics LAB)
Abstract:The ultimate objective of the present paper is to empirically investigate the effectiveness of competition policy in developed and developing countries. Although its importance is continuously increasing, the effectiveness of competition policy still seems to lack the attention that it would deserve. At the present state of art, the number of academic contributions that attempts to estimate its impact on relevant economic variables appears very limited, in particular for the less developed countries. However, …
