Why have child pedestrian death rates fallen?
Pedestrian injuries are a leading cause of childhood mortality and disability. Over the past two decades in Britain child pedestrian death rates have fallen despite large increases in traffic volume. In this paper Roberts examines the likely reasons for this decline. He argues that neither prevention programmes nor improvements in medical care are a plausible explanation and that the decline is...
متن کاملDo Interest Rates Really Follow Continuous-time Markov Diffusions?
Interest rates have traditionally been modeled in the literature as following continuous-time Markov processes, and more specifically diffusions. By contrast, recent term structure models often imply non-Markovian continuous-time dynamics. Can discretely sampled interest rate data help decide which continuous-time models are sensible? First, how reasonable is the Markovian assumption? A test of...
متن کاملReal Interest Rates, Saving and Investment
This paper investigates the determinants of real interest rates at world and country level. The starting point is the idea that real interest rates re°ect the interaction of desired saving and planned investment, using the framework developed by Barro and Sala-i-Martin (1990) and Barro (1992). The paper updates previous results and extends the analysis to study long real interest rates. We anal...
متن کاملGeneral equilibrium real and nominal interest rates
We derive the general equilibrium short-term real and nominal interest rates in a monetary economy affected by technological and monetary shocks and where the price level dynamics is endogenous. Assuming fairly general processes for technology and money supply, we show that an inherent feature of our equilibrium is that any real variable dynamics, in particular that of the short-term real inter...
متن کاملWhy Are Inflation and Real Interest Rates So Low? A Mechanism of Low and Floating Real Interest and Inflation Rates
Real interest and inflation rates have been very low in many industrialized countries since the Great Recession. In this paper, a mechanism of low and floating real interest and inflation rates is examined based on the concept a “Nash equilibrium of a Pareto inefficient path” and the law of motion for trend inflation. I show that, because the link between the marginal product of capital and the...
