(Elsevier, 1996)In this paper we use a switching regression method to test the hypothesis that segmentation in the Chilean labor market exists. The results support the labor segmentation hypothesis and consequently they contradict those ...
-
(Elsevier, 1993)This paper compares the welfare effects of ad valorem and fixed-price distortions for an open economy. In the case of export protection, domestic factor growth is much more likely to be immiserizing when fixed-price ...
-
(Oxford University Press, 1996)Interest-rate subsidies have been used to stimulate commodity stockholding, with the intention of stabilizing prices. However, reductions in price variability can be achieved at less government cost using a direct storage ...
-
(Oxford University Press, 1996)This paper explains why developed countries impose more trade barriers on middle-income countries than on either poor or other developed countries. We use a median voter model of the choice between trade and autarky ...
-
(Wiley, 1996)We study how trade changes the rate of income convergence within and between countries in a model of endogenous growth. An externality in the production of human capital implies that inequality slows down growth under ...
-
(De Gruyter, 1997)Gallant and Tauchen (1996) describe an estimation technique, known as Efficient Method of Moments (EMM), that uses numerical methods to estimate parameters of a structural model. The technique uses as matching conditions ...
-
(American Economic Association, 1997)We build a conceptual framework to analyze the virtues and limitations of alternative mechanisms that can be used to auction a highway. We argue that current mechanisms, which fix the term of the franchise, create unnecesary ...

Migration and the skill composition of the labour force: the impact of trade liberalization in LDCs (Wiley-Blackwell, 1998)In this paper we add four features to the standard Heckscher-Ohlin model: skilled and unskilled labour, international labour mobility, migration costs, and financing constraints. We show that migration of unskilled, ...

(John Wiley & Sons, 1999)THE decade of the 1990s has witnessed a wave of regional integrationinitiatives in Latin America: more than 15 agreements — free trade areasor customs unions — since 1990 with a handful more in varying degrees ofnegotiation ...
-
(The Econometric Society, 1999)In this paper we derive a model of aggregate investment that builds from the lumpymicroeconomic behavior of firms facing stochastic fixed adjustment costs. Instead of theŽ.standard sharp S, s bands, firms’ adjustment ...
-
(Elsevier, 2018)The aim of this study is to analyse the reach of existing investigation on social media and its relation to companies throughout 2014-2015. To achieve the proposed, the study proceeds in classifying such information and ...
-
(Elsevier, 2000)This paper examines the implications of corruption and rent-seeking behavior by the government for the relationship between pollution and growth. Cases of both cooperative and non-cooperative interaction between the ...
-
(IOS Press, 2018)The prioritized induced probabilistic ordered weighted average distance (PIPOWAD) has been developed. This new operator is an extension of the ordered weighted average (OWA) operator that can be used in cases where we have ...
-
(The University of Chicago Press, 2001)In this paper we show that fixed-term contracts, which are commonly used to franchise highways, do not allocate demand risk optimally. We characterize the optimal risk-sharing contract and show that it can be implemented ...
-
(The MIT Press, 2001)Tax compliance studies usually focus on the effect of enforce-ment spending on tax evasion. Reliable estimates are difficult to obtain because evasion data are often suspect. This note shows how tax revenues can be used ...
-
(American Economic Association, 2002)Both Chile and Mexico experienced severe economic crises in the early 1980s, but Chile recovered much faster than did Mexico. Using growth accounting and a calibrated dynamic general equilibrium model, we conclude that the ...
-
(Oxford University Press, 2003)Analysis of two water subsidy schemes--a means-tested subsidy in Chile and a geographically targeted subsidy in Colombia--shows that the means-tested system is better able to identify poor households than the geographically ...
-
(Elsevier, 2003)The persistence of growth and its equity and environmental effects heavily depend on the composition of asset investments. Physical, human, and natural capital are the key assets behind the development process. Market ...
-
(National Tax Association, 2003)- The purpose of this paper is to measure the effectiveness of Chile’s Internal Revenue Service (SII). We assume that its goal is to achieve maximum compliance from taxpayers while minimizing compliance costs. Sample ...
-
(Elsevier, 2003)In several countries (Chile, Bolivia, Argentina and Peru, among others), power plants are dispatched according to merit order, i.e. based on the marginal operating costs of the plants. In this scheme, the operating plant ...
