A dynamic analysis of the international transmission of government expenditure shocks under alternative methods of finance is presented. The benchmark case of lump-sum tax financing yields an expansion in both the short-run and the long-run levels of domestic activity, while crowding out...

This paper analyzes the international transmission of tax shocks in a two-country infinite-horizon representative agent framework. In analyzing such shocks, the viability of the underlying tax regimes, arising from the arbitrage conditions characterizing equilibrium in a perfect world capital...

We ask whether ex-post inefficiencies consistent with ex-ante efficiency in consumption and labor allocations are compatible with substantive movements in asset allocation. The answer we obtain depends crucially on the market regime relative to unemployment insurance. If there are complete...

Stochastic models with economy-wide shocks imply that the welfare costs of aggregate volatility are negligible and contribute little to explaining the equity premium puzzle. Motivated by this failure, this paper introduces idiosyncratic shocks. Drawing on empirical evidence suggesting that the...

We study the implications of consumption and labor allocations with ex ante efficiency and possibly ex post inefficiency on international/interregional portfolio diversification. The answers we obtain depend crucially on the market regime relative to unemployment insurance. If there are complete...

This paper presents empirical evidence on the effects of three nominal risk factors, local interest spreads, US interest spread, and US federal funds rate signal-to-noise ratio on the value of firms and on the cross-listing decision of firms destined to three major markets in North America,...

This paper presents empirical evidence on the effects of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 on the value of firms and on the cross-listing choice of firms destined to three major markets in North America, Asia and Europe. We use dynamic panel data methods and treatment effects methods to find that...

This paper tests the main hypothesis that firms that cross-list have higher valuations, and provides on the valuation effect of cross-listing on a major non-US market, the UK compared to the US market from source countries in the Asia-Pacific region in 2003-2004. We find evidence that there is a...

The international transmission of tax shocks are analyzed in a two-country infinite-horizon representative agent framework. The viability of the tax regimes, arising from the arbitrage conditions characterizing equilibrium in a perfect world capital market, is emphasized. Conditions for both...
