This study utilizes machine learning methods to forecast long-term CO2 emission trends and employs interpretable machine learning techniques to reexamine the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis. All methods we experimented with, including Random Forest, XGBoost, Support Vector...

This paper investigates the relationship between government spending and private consumption of Bangladesh over the period 1973-2008. Based on a theoretical model of two-good permanent income which allows for random preference shocks in the consumer's intra-period utility function, our analysis...

The postponement of motherhood has drawn much attention in recent research. Yet,it is the U shape pattern of the mean age of the mother at first birth that observed in the data in 1950-2005. This phenomena can not be fully explained by the explanatory variables of the delay of motherhood...

This paper studies how well a simple search and matching model can describe aggregate Japanese labor market dynamics in a full information setting. We develop a discrete-time search and matching model with a convex vacancy posting cost and three shocks: productivity, separation, and markup...

This paper studies how well a simple search and matching model can describe aggregate Japanese labor market dynamics in a full information setting. We develop a discrete-time search and matching model with a convex vacancy posting cost and three shocks: productivity, separation, and mark-up...

This paper studies how income and bequest taxes affect income inequality. We firstly explore this relationship empirically using a panel of 20 OECD countries from 1980 to 2008. The data shows that an increase of income taxation tends to strengthen income inequality, while the inequality effect...
