Three Essays On Growth, Housing Market And Inequality, Shahrzad Ghourchian
Three Essays On Growth, Housing Market And Inequality, Shahrzad Ghourchian
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation includes three essays on growth, the housing market, and inequality. In the first essay, I analyze the effects of government consumption and government debt on long-run economic growth by considering the economic characteristics of the countries investigated. Linear regressions reveal that government consumption has a much bigger negative impact on long-run growth compared with the negative (and sometimes insignificant) effects of government debt. Nonlinear analyses further show that such effects are highly impacted by the economic characteristics of the countries investigated.

I then propose a social venture that will addresses the needs of many parts of the chocolate supply …
The Economics Of Immigration Reform, Howard F. Chang
The Economics Of Immigration Reform, Howard F. Chang
All Faculty Scholarship
In this article, I draw upon economic theory and recent empirical work on the economic and fiscal effects of immigration to evaluate some recent proposals for immigration reform in terms of their effects on the economic welfare of natives in the United States. In particular, I consider the Reforming American Immigration for a Strong Economy (RAISE) Act, a bill that would cut immigration to half of its current level. President Donald Trump has endorsed the RAISE Act and has insisted that many of its provisions be part of any legislation legalizing the status of unauthorized immigrants granted relief under the …
