1.	Amilon, Henrik (författare) GARCH estimation and discrete stock prices: an application to low-priced Australian stocks 2003 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - 0165-1765. ; 81:2, s. 215-222 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract The GARCH model is misspecified if applied to returns calculated from discrete prices. We propose a modification of the above model for handling such cases. We find large differences between the standard and the extended model estimates, although the results sometimes are obscured by large standard errors.
2.	Adolfson, Malin (författare) Export price responses to exogenous exchange rate movements 2001 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - : Elsevier. - 0165-1765. ; 71:1 Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract The export price responses to three different exogenous exchange rate movements are investigated, using data on Swedish exports of automobiles and kraft paper to three destination countries. A price determining error correction model indicates results consistent with price discrimination.
3.	Andersson, Michael K., et al. (författare) Power and bias of likelihood based inference in the cointegration model under fractional cointegration 1999 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - : Elsevier. - 0165-1765. ; 65:2, s. 143-147 Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract This paper investigates how fractional cointegration affects the common maximum likelihood cointegration procedure. It is shown that the likelihood ratio test of no cointegration has considerable power against fractional alternatives. In contrast to the case of a cointegrated system, the usual maximum likelihood estimator gives severely biased estimates of the long-run relation under fractional cointegration. This suggests that the standard likelihood approach should be used with caution and that a test to separate fractionally cointegrated series from series that are cointegrated of an integer order should be executed prior to estimation.

Braunerhjelm, Pontus, 1953- (författare) The Relation Between Firm-Specific Intangibles and Exports 1996 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - 0165-1765 .- 1873-7374. ; 53:2, s. 213-219 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract The main issue addressed in this paper concerns the relationship between firms' endowments in intangible proprietary assets and their export performance. The impact of investments in foreign production capacity on exports is taken into account in the empirical analysis.
5.	Brännäs, Kurt, et al. (författare) Estimating the perceived tax scale within a labor supply model 1996 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - : Elsevier BV. - 0165-1765 .- 1873-7374. ; 52:1, s. 75-79 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract The Swedish marginal tax scale is too complex to be known in detail by individuals. This paper indicates that perceived tax scales can be estimated jointly with a labor supply equation. The differences between the true and estimated tax scales are found to be small.
6.	Brännäs, Kurt (författare) Omitted variables in a weibull regression model 1984 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - : Elsevier BV. - 0165-1765 .- 1873-7374. ; 16:3-4, s. 279-283 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract Asymptotic biases of maximum likelihood and least squares estimators in a Weibull model, subject to omitted variables, are given. The results are contrasted to those of a small sample Monte Carlo experiment.
7.	Brännäs, Kurt (författare) Small sample properties in a heterogenous Weibull model 1986 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - : Elsevier BV. - 0165-1765 .- 1873-7374. ; 21:1, s. 17-20 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract Neglected heterogeneity implies bias for estimators in, e.g., the Weibull duration model. In a Monte Carlo experiment the proper maximum likelihood estimator is better than a new least squares estimator. The likelihood estimator neglecting heterogeneity is inferior.

(författare) Hypothetical versus real payments in Vickrey auctions 1997 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - : Elsevier B.V. - 1873-7374 .- 0165-1765. ; 56:2, s. 177-180 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract We compare hypothetical and real payments in a Vickrey auction. The use of hypothetical payments overestimates the real willingness to pay. The results cast doubt on the validity of hypothetical willingness to pay questions for the typical respondent.
9.	Karlsson, Sune, 1960-, et al. (författare) On the power and interpretation of panel unit root tests 2000 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - : Elsevier. - 0165-1765 .- 1873-7374. ; 66:3, s. 249-255 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract We demonstrate that panel unit root tests can have high power when a small fraction of the series is stationary and may lack power when a large fraction is stationary. The acceptance or rejection of the null is thus not sufficient evidence to conclude that all series have a unit root or that all are stationary.

(författare) Compensating wage differentials and shift work preferences : Evidence from France 2002 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - 0165-1765 .- 1873-7374. ; 74:3, s. 393-398 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract We study if there are compensating wage differentials paid for shift work using French matched employer–employee data for male full-time blue collar workers. There is a significant shift premium of 16% that has a significant impact on shift work choice.
11.	Lundgren, Tommy, et al. (författare) A flexible specification of adjustment costs in dynamic factor demand models 2001 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - : Elsevier. - 0165-1765 .- 1873-7374. ; 72:2, s. 144-150 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract This paper proposes a flexible form of adjustment cost function. An empirical illustration shows that the flexible form can detect both convex and non-convex adjustment costs. Furthermore, the flexible form permits testing for the experience effect on adjustment cost.
12.	Lundholm, Michael, et al. (författare) Post mortem reputation, compensatory gifts and equal bequests 2000 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - 0165-1765 .- 1873-7374. ; 68:2, s. 165-171 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract Suppose that gifts are private information, only known to donor and donee, while bequests are public. Also suppose that parents care about the reputation that their bequest behavior will give them and that reputation deteriorates with the difference in amounts inherited. Then the optimal choice of altruistic parents is compensatory gifts and equal bequests. This is also what data show.

Löthgren, Mickael (författare) Generalized stochastic frontier production models 1997 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - : Elsevier. - 0165-1765. ; 57:3, s. 255-259 Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract This paper develops a multiple-output generalization of the single-output stochastic frontier production model. A ray frontier production function is defined, based on polar coordinates, allowing primal-based estimation of multiple-output production frontiers and firm-specific technical efficiency.

Ohlsson, Henry, 1956- (författare) Ownership and input prices : A comparison of public and private enterprises 1996 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - 0165-1765 .- 1873-7374. ; 53:1, s. 33-38 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract I compare public and private enterprise performance using input prices. The data are from primary and secondary market purchases in Sweden of a homogeneous capital item - 800 garbage trucks. Private firms pay 10-15% less than public enterprises.

Wärneryd, Karl (författare) Replicating contests 2001 Ingår i: Economics letters. - : Elsevier B.V. - 1873-7374 .- 0165-1765. ; 71:3, s. 323-327 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract We study comparative statics in symmetric contests. No general conclusions can be drawn about the effects of varying the number of participants or the value of the prize. Replicating a contest, however, always increases the rate of prize dissipation.
18.	Ahmed, Rashad, et al. (författare) On the effectiveness of foreign exchange reserves during the 2021-22 US monetary tightening cycle 2023 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - : ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA. - 0165-1765 .- 1873-7374. ; 233 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract This paper examines whether the size of foreign exchange (FX) reserves explains cross-country differences in foreign currency depreciation realized over the 2021-22 Federal Reserve monetary policy tightening that led to a sharp appreciation of the US dollar. Across a broad sample of countries, we document that an additional 10 percentage points of FX reserves/GDP held ex-ante were associated with 1.5 to 2 percent less exchange rate depreciation against the US dollar and this buffer effect was larger among less financially developed economies. Effects were more pronounced for large-reserve countries that sold reserves to intervene than for large-reserve countries that did not intervene, supporting the presence of both balance sheet and intervention channels. Higher ex-ante policy rates were also associated with less depreciation especially among financially open economies. An analysis of daily currency movements following the June 2021 FOMC meeting corroborates the main results. These findings suggest that FX reserves may promote monetary policy independence in the presence of global spillovers.

We find significantly higher cooperation levels outside the festival among less religious people. This behavior is consistent with a substitution effect between religious and non-religious activities. © 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Technology, employment, and the business cycle: Do technology shocks explain aggregate fluctuations? American Economic Review 89, 249–271.] structural VAR model. The different methods produce technology shocks that are highly correlated and negatively related to hours worked.

(författare) A note on renegotiation in repeated Bertrand duopolies 2007 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - : Elsevier BV. - 0165-1765 .- 1873-7374. ; 95:3, s. 398-401 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract Weak Renegotiation-Proofness (WW) singles out marginal cost pricing as a unique pure-strategy equilibrium of the infinitely repeated Bertrand duopoly. We show that, with a discrete strategy space, WRP does not eliminate any relevant subgame perfect equilibrium outcome. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
24.	Andersson, Ola (författare) On the role of patience in collusive Bertrand duopolies 2008 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - : Elsevier BV. - 0165-1765 .- 1873-7374. ; 100, s. 60-63 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract This paper analyzes the role of patience in a repeated Bertrand duopoly where firms bargain over which collusive price and market share to implement. It is shown that the least patient firm's market share is not monotone in its own discount factor.
25.	Andersson, Ola, et al. (författare) Persuasion in experimental ultimatum games 2010 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - : Elsevier BV. - 0165-1765 .- 1873-7374. ; 108:1, s. 16-18 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract We study persuasion effects in experimental ultimatum games and find that Proposers' payoffs significantly increase if, along with offers, they can send messages which Responders read before deciding. Higher payoffs are driven by both lower offers and higher acceptance rates.
26.	Andersson, Tommy, et al. (författare) A Method for Finding the Maximal Set in Excess Demand 2014 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - : Elsevier BV. - 0165-1765. ; 125:1, s. 18-20 Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract We present a polynomial time method for identifying the maximal set in excess demand at a given payoff vector. This set can be used in "large" partnership formation problems to identify the minimum element in the set of individually rational payoff vectors at which there is no overdemanded set of agents. This minimum element corresponds to the minimum Walrasian equilibrium price vector in a special case of the partnership formation problem.

(författare) An Empirical Investigation of Efficiency and Price Uniformity in Competing Auctions 2012 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - : Elsevier BV. - 0165-1765. ; 116:1, s. 99-101 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract Abstract in Undetermined This paper investigates hypotheses related to efficiency and price uniformity in online competing auctions based on two theoretical predictions from Peters and Severinov [Peters, M., Severinov, S., 2006. Internet auctions with many traders. Journal of Economic Theory 130, 220–245]. The investigation is conducted using a large and ideal data set for online competing train ticket auctions, and the findings support the theoretical predictions in large parts.
29.	Andersson, Tommy (författare) Efficiency properties of non-linear pricing schedules without the single-crossing condition 2008 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - : Elsevier BV. - 0165-1765. ; 99:2, s. 364-366 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract This paper investigates efficiency properties of profit-maximizing non-linear outlay schedules. It demonstrates that some well-known efficiency characteristics of the profit-maximizing non-linear outlay schedule may not continue to hold when the single-crossing condition is relaxed.

Andersson, Tommy (författare) Profit maximizing nonlinear pricing 2005 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - : Elsevier BV. - 0165-1765. ; 88:1, s. 135-139 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract If the preferences of the consumers are represented by utility functions that are differentiable, quasi-linear and satisfy the single-crossing condition, the characteristics of the profit maximizing nonlinear outlay schedule for a monopolist are well-known. We demonstrate that these characteristics are robust against weaker assumptions on the utility functions.

(författare) The Risks of Nuclear Disaster and Its Impact on Housing Prices 2017 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - : Elsevier BV. - 0165-1765 .- 1873-7374. ; 154, s. 13-16 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract Using a data set on housing sales transactions we explore the potential effect of the Fukushima disaster on housing prices in Sweden. In contrast to most earlier findings in other countries we do not find any disproportionate effect from the Fukushima disaster on housing prices in vicinity of nuclear power plants in Sweden.

(författare) Product variety and the demographic transition 2010 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - : Elsevier BV. - 0165-1765. ; 107:1, s. 74-76 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract Why does the rate of population growth decline in the face of economic growth? We show that growing product variety may induce a permanent reduction in the demand for children and a continuous rise in income and consumption. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
34.	Angelova, Vera, et al. (författare) Does a short-term increase in incentives boost performance? 2018 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - : Elsevier. - 0165-1765 .- 1873-7374. ; 166, s. 31-34 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract If agents are exposed to continual competitive pressure, how does a short-term variation of the severity of the competition affect agents’ performance? In a real-effort laboratory experiment, we study a one-time increase in incentives in a sequence of equally incentivized contests. Our results suggest that a short-term increase in incentives induces a behavioral response but does not boost total performance.
35.	Arceo-Gomez, Eva O., et al. (författare) Extreme temperatures and school performance of the poor: Evidence from Mexico 2024 Ingår i: ECONOMICS LETTERS. - 0165-1765 .- 1873-7374. ; 238 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract As the risks associated with climate change intensify, understanding its impacts on human capital development is crucial. In this paper, we analyze the causal effects of temperature on the academic performance of students in Mexico, a middle-income country facing significant climate risks and socioeconomic challenges. Using panel data on over 5.5 million students, our results show that a 1 degrees C increase in annual average temperature leads to a 0.07 and 0.08 standard deviation decrease in Spanish and math test scores, respectively. Moreover, a one standard deviation (0.93 degrees C) increase in the long-term municipal temperature average is associated with 0.04 and 0.03 standard deviation declines in those scores. The effects are context-dependent - students in historically colder municipalities actually benefit from hotter temperatures, likely due to improved learning conditions in underinsulated schools and homes. However, the detrimental impacts appear consistent across urban, rural, and socioeconomically disadvantaged areas, underscoring the vulnerability of marginalized populations to the academic consequences of climate change. Overall, our findings highlight the urgency of addressing the educational dimensions of the global climate crisis through targeted interventions and adaptive policies, particularly in lowand middle-income countries.

37.	Aronsson, Thomas, 1963-, et al. (författare) A note on optimal paternalism and health capital subsidies 2008 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - : Elsevier. - 0165-1765 .- 1873-7374. ; 101:3, s. 241-242 Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract This paper concerns the policy implications of a potential self-control problem underlying the consumption of unhealthy food. Our results show that subsidies on wealth and healthcapital can be used to implement a socially optimal resource allocation.
38.	Aronsson, Thomas, et al. (författare) Decentralized fiscal federalism revisited : Optimal income taxation and public goods under horizontal leadership 2012 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - : Elsevier. - 0165-1765 .- 1873-7374. ; 117:1, s. 223-226 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract This paper concerns optimal taxation and public goods in an economic federation with decentralized leadership, where one lower level government is the first mover also in the horizontal dimension. Under plausible assumptions, horizontal leadership reinforces the incentives created by decentralized leadership.
39.	Aronsson, Thomas, 1963-, et al. (författare) Outsourcing and optimal nonlinear taxation : a note 2009 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - Amsterdam : North-Holland. - 0165-1765 .- 1873-7374. ; 102:2, s. 135-137 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract This paper concerns optimal taxation and outsourcing. If the government has a direct instrument for taxing outsourcing, the policy rules for marginal income taxation remain as in the standard model. Otherwise, outsourcing contributes to a more progressive income tax structure.
40.	Aronsson, Thomas, 1963-, et al. (författare) Public goods and optimal paternalism under present-biased preferences 2011 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - Amsterdam : North-Holland. - 0165-1765 .- 1873-7374. ; 113:1, s. 54-57 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract This paper concerns the provision of a state-variable public good in a two-type model under present-biased consumer preferences. The preference for immediate gratification facing the high-ability type weakens the incentive to adjust public provision in response to the self-selection constraint.
41.	Aronsson, Thomas, 1963-, et al. (författare) Redistributive income taxation under outsourcing and foreign direct investment 2011 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - : Elsevier. - 0165-1765 .- 1873-7374. ; 110:2, s. 86-89 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract This paper deals with optimal income taxation under international outsourcing and FDI. We show how the joint effect of outsourcing and FDI on the optimal marginal income tax rates depends on whether FDI is horizontal or vertical.
42.	Aronsson, Thomas, 1963-, et al. (författare) Welfare equivalent NNP and habit formation 2008 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - : Elsevier BV. - 0165-1765 .- 1873-7374. ; 98:1, s. 84-88s Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract This note concerns the importance of habit formation for social accounting. With internal habit formation, earlier procedures for welfare measurement in the first best apply with minor modifications. This result strengthens the idea behind using the comprehensive net national product as a welfare indicator. If, on the other hand, part of the habit formation is exogenous to each consumer, the exact welfare measure will also reflect the associated external effect.

(författare) Cross-country determinants of economic policy uncertainty spillovers 2017 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - : Elsevier. - 0165-1765 .- 1873-7374. ; 156, s. 179-183 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract This study explores the determinants of cross-country economic policy uncertainty (EPU) spillovers. We find that bilateral factors such as trade and common language play a highly significant role in explaining the magnitude of EPU spillovers. Furthermore, the magnitude of EPU spillovers is higher for countries having higher vulnerability in terms of fiscal, trade, or financial liability imbalances. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V.

(författare) Revisiting the uncertain unit root in GDP and CPI : Testing for non-linear trend reversion 2008 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - : Elsevier BV. - 0165-1765 .- 1873-7374. ; 100:2, s. 221-223 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract We test for the presence of a unit root in U.S. GDP and CPI, allowing for non-linear trend reversion under the alternative hypothesis. In contrast to most previous results, we find evidence in favour of trend stationarity for both variables.

(författare) Does money still matter for U.S. output? 2009 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - : Elsevier. - 0165-1765 .- 1873-7374. ; 102:3, s. 143-146 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract In this note, we use an out-of-sample approach to investigate whether money growth Granger-causes output growth in the United States. We find that after the ‘Great moderation,’ the Granger-causal role of money appears to have vanished completely.

48.	Bindler, Anna, et al. (författare) Prisons, recidivism and the age–crime profile 2017 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - : Elsevier BV. - 0165-1765. ; 152:March 2017, s. 46-49 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract This paper provides a descriptive analysis of the economic and non-economic channels that led to a U-shaped trend in the average age of male convicts in 19th century London using detailed data from the Old Bailey central criminal court. In addition to discussing industrialization and changing attitudes towards juveniles as potential mechanisms underlying the initial decrease and subsequent increase in criminal age, we put forth a new explanation of the latter. Did the abolition of capital punishment and penal transportation, which led to the rise of the modern day prison system and the emergence of recidivism, lead to a mechanical increase in the average age of criminals?
49.	Binner, Jane M., et al. (författare) Predictable non-linearities in US inflation 2006 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - : Elsevier BV. - 0165-1765. ; 93:3, s. 323-328 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract This paper compares the out-of-sample inflation forecasting performance of two non-linear models; a neural network and a Markov switching autoregressive (MS-AR) model. We find that predictable non-linearities in inflation are best accounted for by the MS-AR model.
50.	Blomquist, Johan, et al. (författare) Testing slope homogeneity in large panels with serial correlation 2013 Ingår i: Economics Letters. - : Elsevier BV. - 0165-1765. ; 121:3, s. 374-378 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract Pesaran and Yamagata (Pesaran, M.H., Yamagata, T., Testing slope homogeneity in large panels, Journal of Econometrics 142, 50–93, 2008) propose a test for slope homogeneity in large panels, which has become very popular in the literature. However, the test cannot deal with the practically relevant case of heteroskedastic and/serially correlated errors. The present note proposes a generalized test that accommodates both features.
