We investigate monetary policy under the assumption that a country's capital market is "open" under the WTO framework while the exchange rate is fixed. Our purpose is to determine if it is possible in this case for the economy to maintain an effective monetary policy for stabilizing the domestic...

We develop a Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm for estimating nested logit models in a Bayesian framework. Appropriate "heating target" and reparametrization techniques are adopted for fast mixing. For illustrative purposes, we have implemented the algorithm on two real-life examples involving...
