Recent work shows that a low correlation between the instruments and the included variables leads to serious inference problems. We extend the local-to-zero analysis of models with weak instruments to models with estimated instruments and regressors and with higher-order dependence between...

We derive conditions that must be satisfied by the primitives of the problem in order for an equilibrium in linear Markov strategies to exist in some common property natural resource differential games. These conditions impose restrictions on the admissible form of the natural growth function,...

This Note Presents a Necessary and Sufficient Condition for All Goods to Be Normal, in the Case of Differentiable Individual Demand. This Condition Appears As a Relationship Between the Quantity Effects on Marginal Willingness to Pay and Is Consequently a Characteristic of the Preference Order....
