Computable General Equilibrium models represent a state-of-the-art multisectoral tool for policy analysis in mixed economies. Simulations of the model provide insight into the quantitative structural effects of economic policies, taking into account interactions throughout the economy in a...

Following the economic and political reforms international private capital started flowing into the emerging market economies of Central and Eastern Europe reducing the official capital flows to the region. The composition of private capital flows showed continuous dominance of direct equity...

Foreign direct investment (FDI) has become one of the main drivers of globalization and integration of the European transition economies into the world economy, especially the European Union. Its growth enhancing capacity has played a significant role in transforming their competitiveness, both...

In this paper we analyze the effects of international capital flows and institutional change on growth in Croatia. The impact of financial integration is assessed by looking at the determinants of real convergence of income per capita to that of the euro area and the institutional change is...

The aim of the paper is to estimate the impact of global financial crisis of 2008 on countries where the dominant components were private and government consumption as well as sizeable current account deficits, which is the structure that most emerging European economies (EEE) share, and to...

Bargaining behavior appears to vary across nations. What drives these apparent differences? We reconsider the evidence provided by previous experiments, and undertake some new experiments that expand the controls for demographics. We show that inferences about country effects are sensitive to...

The most popular models of decision making use a single criteria to evaluate projects or lotteries. However, decision makers may actually consider multiple criteria when evaluating projects. We consider a dual criteria model from psychology. This model integrates the familiar tradeoffs between...

Subjective beliefs play a role in many economic decisions. There is a large theoretical literature on the elicitation of beliefs, and an equally large empirical literature. However, there is a gulf between the two. The theoretical literature proposes a range of procedures that can be used to...

We make the case that psychologists should make wider use of econometric methods for the estimation of structural models. These methods involve the development of maximum likelihood estimates of models, where the likelihood function is tailored to the structural model. In recent years these...

Subjective probabilities play a role in many economic decisions. There is a large theoretical literature on the elicitation of subjective probabilities, and an equally large empirical literature. However, there is a gulf between the two. The theoretical literature proposes a range of procedures...
