This paper tackles a number of issues that are central to cross-country comparisons of productivity. We develop a "dual" method to compare levels of total factor productivity (TFP) across nations that relies on factor price data rather than the data on stocks of factors required by standard...

The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate dual approaches to corner solutions that are both tractable and flexible in recreation demand. Two structural models are estimated using data from the Iowa wetlands survey in the incomplete demand system context. This dissertation expands...

This paper considers the pricing of multiple exercise options in discrete time. This type of option can be exercised up to a finite number of times over the lifetime of the contract. We allow multiple exercise of the option at each time point up to a constraint, a feature relevant for pricing...
