Examining China’s manufacturing and transportation, we analyze how rapid expressway-network expansion fostered market access and industrial development. A domestic-trade model generates the market-access formula, estimatable equations, and economics for empirical findings. An estimation of...

We extend the d cifically we analyse constant absolute and constant relative risk aversion, provide conditionsfor the existence of equilibrium, and evaluate equilibrium prices at US-data. We find that constant absolute risk aversion works particularly well at moderate levels of risk aversion. In...

This paper discusses how randomized social experiments operate as an instrumental variable. For two types of randomization schemes, the fundamental experimental estimation equations are derived from the principle that experiments equate bias in control and experimental samples. Using...
