Credit contagion in a network of firms with spatial interaction

Barro, Diana; Basso, Antonella - Dipartimento di Matematica Applicata, Università Ca' … - 2008

In this contribution we carried out a wide simulation analysis in order to study the contagion mechanism induced in a portfolio of bank loans by the presence of business relationships among the positions. To this aim we jointly apply a structural model based on a factor approach extended in...

Measuring the Value of a Moscow Apartment: a Spatial Approach to the Hedonic Pricing of Attributes

Repkine, Alexandre - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2008

In this paper we explore spatial effects in a hedonic price function framework for a large sample of apartments in Moscow. We find strong evidence of both spatial lag and spatial autocorrelation. Our results are robust across both the spatial model specifications and the choice of the spatial...

Flip-Flopping: Ideological Adjustment Costs in the United States Senate

DeBacker, Jason - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2008

Models of electoral competition in which candidates can change position at no cost predict the convergence of platforms in a two-candidate election. Such convergence is at odds with empirical observation. In this paper, I undertake a study of candidate positioning in the United States Senate and...

Assessing Relative Performance of Econometric Models in Measuring the Impact of Climate Change on Agriculture Using Spatial Autoregression

Seo, S. Niggol - In: The Review of Regional Studies 38 (2008) 2, pp. 195-209

four different econometric models, i.e., OLS, panel, and two spatial models using a South American agricultural household … autoregressive parameter. In spatial models, the spatial parameter is free within the model, but is fixed a priori in the aspatial … models. Empirical results show a high correlation of the land values across South America. Spatial models result in somewhat …

The Failure of the EU in the Global “Lisbon Process”: A Cross-national, Quantitative Tribute to the Relevance of the Economic Theories of Professor Panayotopoulos

Tausch, Arno - In: European Research Studies Journal XI (2008) 3, pp. 3-24

In this paper we analyze the Lisbon performance of the countries of the European Union from a long-term, structural perspective. It again turns out that first of all things get worse, before they get better – the old wisdom of classical development economics (Kuznets) and political science...

Measurement, model testing, and legislative influence in the European Union

Slapin, Jonathan B - In: European Union Politics 15 (2014) 1, pp. 24-42

Within the last several years, new data have become available to test the various theoretical models of EU decision-making, and, in doing so, to assess actor influence. This article examines the extent to which the recent DEU and DEUII datasets provide sufficient information to distinguish...

Anania, Giovanni; Scoppola, Margherita - In: Journal of Policy Modeling 36 (2014) 1, pp. 185-206

The paper focuses on the importance of assumptions made about market structure and firm behavior in empirical trade policy analysis. The contribution to the relevant literature is 3-fold: first the paper develops two original models which incorporate imperfectly competitive market structures in...
