摘要:This paper concerns the difficulties associated with establishing a time at which a market will operate. We first describe the experience of several dozen markets and submarkets, from entry-level professional labor markets in the United States, Canada, England, and Japan, to the (American) market for postseason college football bowls. The difficulties these markets have experienced in coordinating the timing of transactions have been decisive in determining how they are organized today. The pa...

摘要:Differences in property rights create a motive for trade among otherwise identical regions. Two regions with identical technologies, endowments, and preferences will trade if one, the South, has ill-defined property rights on environmental resources. Trade with a region with well-defined property rights transmits and enlarges the problem of the commons: the North overconsumes underpriced resource-intensive products imported from the South. This occurs even though trade equalizes all prices, of...

摘要:The koyck (geometric) lag or AR(1) specification is a commonly proposed behavioral model, sometimes after differencing. The distribution of koyck lag or AR(1) coefficients across agents in an economy is shown to be completely identified just from the dynamic behavior of aggregate (macroeconomic) data. Aggregate testable implications of an economy composed of agents having koyck lags or AR(l) models are provided Extensions to higher-order and time-varying lags are discussed. Aggregate U.S. cons...

摘要:This paper entertains the hypothesis that human time preferences are in evolutionary equilibrium (i.e. that no mutation changing time preferences could be favored by natural selection). This hypothesis implies that the marginal rate of substitution (MRS) holding Darwinian fitness constant must equal the MRS holding utility constant. Furthermore, in a market economy the latter must equal the MRS in exchange. Exploiting these principles, I find that the long-term real interest rate should equal ...
