The Marshallian Macroeconomic Model (MMM) developed by Veloce and Zellner (1985} provides a novel way to study sectoral dynamics of an economy in the presence of a dynamic entry/exit equation. Later extended by Zellner and Israilevich (2005} to include interactions between households, production...

The dissertation discusses issues in the field of industrial organization. When the government provides better infrastructure to competing firms for innovation, private firms' R&D expenditures are affected. When the government doesn't assure project completion, the uncertainty impacts private...

Investors in financial markets face several restrictions apart from wealth constraints. The first attempt to understand these restrictions in a general competitive equilibrium framework can be traced back to Radner (1972). Here these restrictions are assumed to be given exogenously, as first...

An abundant literature is concerned with the existence of equilibrium in incomplete markets where participation to financial markets is not restricted. To mention a few, Cass (1984), Werner (1985), Geanakoplos and Polemarchakis (1986), Duffie (1987), Duffie and Shafer (1985) and Magill and...

The issue of pay equity within publicly-traded companies has been a question of growing interest in recent years. Academics, policy-makers, and members of the popular press and general public have become increasingly focused on the extent to which pay at the highest levels of American business...

The optimal choice of a decision-making structure in alliances and other combined ventures is an important yet underexplored question. There is no single theory that predicts what types of decision-making structures will be optimal in different alliances. Existing research, while offering...

This dissertation studies the consumer demand system focusing on its functional forms in the theoretical aspect and the empirical aspect. The theoretical part investigates the regularity property of the consumer demand system with the normalized quadratic functional form. We display the regular...

This research is intended to apply linear and non-linear techniques to estimate the money demand function of Saudi Arabia under two alternative approaches using two different measures of monetary aggregates (Divisia and Simple-Sum monetary aggregates). The first approach is the conventional way,...

Consistent real income comparisons over time and space are critical for studies on catch-up and convergence. The paper provides an analytical framework for making real income comparisons across countries and over time that satisfy transitivity and at the same time reflect an underlying...

In this study, we first review the bifurcation phenomena in dynamic economic systems and point out the importance of bifurcations together with a summary of the common types of bifurcations which have been encountered in economic research. Although bifurcation analysis is a relatively new...
