Current Account Deficit Sustainability: A Panel Approach
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 2004)
In this paper we attempt to examine the issue of sustainability of current account imbalances in eight East Asia countries using the latest developments in nonstationary panel data analysis. The methods of nonstationary ...
Biodiversity Conservation in Managed Landscapes
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 2008)
Benefits and Costs of Methane Emission Reduction in the Irish National Herd
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 2004)
In this paper, we compare many of the widely available estimated global benefits of
abatement with the costs to Irish agriculture, as estimated by the CAPRI model. We apply
the model to Ireland only, in a simple comparative ...
A Stochastic Complexity Perspective of Induction in Economics and Inference in Dynamics
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 2007)
Rissanen's fertile and pioneering minimum description length principle (MDL) has been viewed from the point of view of statistical estimation theory, information theory, as stochastic complexity theory - i.e., a computable ...
Decomposition Methods in Analyzing Intra-regional and Inter-regional Income Distribution
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 2006)
In this paper we propose to study the world income distribution in the framework of Richard Stone-Richard Goodwin decomposition method [Goodwin, EJ 1949 and JPKE 1980, Stone¿s foreword to Pyatt-Roe, 1977]. The objective ...
Delineating Daily Activity Spaces in Rural Areas
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 2005)
The new relational geography challenges notions of inherently coherent, integrated `territory-based' systems of relations. This paper uses network methods and correspondence analysis to try and describe some of the spatial ...
Cost of Living Indices and Flexible Consumption Behaviour: A partial critique
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 2005)
This paper questions the alleged superiority of superlative prices indices (like the Fisher index) over more standard base year indices (like the Laspeyre index) as measures of changes in the 'cost of living' (COL). The ...
Cohabitation in Ireland: evidence from survey data
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 2005)
Cohabitation has grown strongly in Ireland over the last decade. We use large-scale surveys to characterise its extent and nature. We find it has almost tripled in incidence between 1994 and 2002. It is associated with ...
Using CGE and Microsimulation Models for In come Distribution Analyses: A Survey.
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 2005)
This paper carries out a survey of CGE and Microsimulation models used in
the evaluation of issues related directly or indirectly to incomes distribution.
Different model structures are discussed which have been employed ...
Arrow's theorem and max-star transitivity
(National University of Ireland, Galway, 2009)
In the literature on social choice and fuzzy preferences, a central question is how to represent the transitivity of a fuzzy binary relation. Arguably the most general way of doing this is to assume a form of transitivity ...
