What We Can Learn About the Behavior of Firms from the Average Monthly Frequency of Price-Changes : An Application to the UK CPI Data

Dixon, Huw - 2013

In this paper, we see how much the average monthly frequency of price changes ties down the behavior of firms in steady-state in terms of the average length of price-spells across firms. We use the UK CPI data at the aggregate and sectoral level and find that the actual mean is about twice the...

Agglomeration Economies in Classical Music

Borowiecki, Karol Jan - 2013

This study investigates agglomeration effects for classical music production in a wide range of cities for a global sample of composers born between 1750 and 1899. Theory suggests a trade-off between agglomeration economies (peer effects) and diseconomies (peer crowding). I test this hypothesis...

Model choice and size distribution : a Bayequentist approach

Engler, John-Oliver; Baumgärtner, Stefan - 2013

We propose a new three-step model-selection framework for size distributions in empirical data. It generalizes a recent frequentist plausibility-of-fit analysis (Step 1) and combines it with a relative ranking based on the Bayesian Akaike Information Criterion (Step 2). We enhance these...

What we can learn about the behavior of firms from the average monthly frequency of price-changes : an application to the UK CPI data

Dixon, Huw; Tian, Kun - 2013

The monthly frequency of price-changes is a prominent feature of many studies of the CPI micro-data. In this paper, we see how much this ties down the behavior of price-setters ("firms") in steady-state in terms of the average length of price-spells across firms. We are able to divide an upper...
