The theory of general equilibrium was criticized for its apparent lack of testable implications,as seemingly implied by the results of Sonnenschein, Mantel and Debreu in the Seventies. This view was challenged by the results of Brown and Matzkin (1996) which showed the existence of testable...

This paper studies the falsiability of the hypothesis of Nash behavoir, for the case of a finite number of players who choose from continuous domains, subject to constraints. The results obtained here are negative. Assuming the observation of finite data sets, and using weak, but non-trivial,...

We study the application of bootstrap procedures to the problem of constructing confidence intervals for the coefficients of random effects panel data models, based on GLS point estimation. The central problem is the one of adequately resampling from the estimated residuals of the model,...

Empirical tests of the Nash bargaining solution (NBS, hereafter) are developed under different hypotheses about the behavior of disagreement utility levels.
