This paper investigates the costs of residential height restrictions, using a numerically solvable general equilibrium model based on residential location theory. Time and money costs of travel are treated separately. Household demand recreational land and structure and actual construction cost...

This paper uses a general equilibrium model of residential land use to study the effects of the property tax in a closed city. Two different specifications of the production technology for housing are used, and yield similar results. The model is too complicated to be solved in closed form, but...

This paper deals with the cost-benefit valuation of urban land in residential and road use, when there is flow congestion in transportation and congestion tolls are not imposed. Conventional procedures for determining the shadow value of land in road or residential use ignore certain general...

Simple techniques for the graphical display of simulation evidence concerning the size and power of hypothesis tests are developed and illustrated. Three types of figures - called P value plots, P value discrepancy plots, and size-power curves - are discussed. Some Monte Carlo experiments on the...

It is remarkably easy to test for structural change, of the type that the classic F or "Chow" test is designed to detect, in a manner that is robust to heteroskedasticity of possibly unknown form. This paper first discusses how to test for structural change in nonlinear regression models by...

We develop a new form of the information matrix test for a wide variety of statistical models, and present full details for the special case of univariate nonlinear regression models. Chesher (1984) showed that the implicit alternative of the information matrix test is a model with random...

The cluster robust variance estimator (CRVE) relies on the number of clusters being large. A shorthand "rule of 42'' has emerged, but we show that unbalanced clusters invalidate it. Monte Carlo evidence suggests that rejection frequencies are higher for datasets with 50 clusters proportional to...

Confidence intervals based on cluster-robust covariance matrices can be constructed in many ways. In addition to conventional intervals obtained by inverting Wald (t) tests, the paper studies intervals obtained by inverting LM tests, studentized bootstrap intervals based on the wild cluster...

This paper provides tables of critical values for some popular tests of cointegration and unit roots. Although these tables are necessarily based on computer simulations, they are much more accurate than those previously available. The results of the simulation experiments are summarized by...
