Monetary Policy: Some Theory and Evidence

Hedonic Wage Equilibrium: Theory, Evidence and Policy

We examine theoretically and empirically the properties of the equilibrium wage function and its implications for policy. Our emphasis is on how the researcher approaches economic and policy questions when there is labor market heterogeneity leading to a set of wages. We focus on the application where hedonic models have been most successful at clarifying policy relevant outcomes and policy eff...

Non-equilibrated post freeze out distributions

We discuss freeze out on the hypersurface with time-like normal vector, trying to answer how realistic is to assume thermal post freeze out distributions for measured hadrons. Using simple kinetic models for gradual freeze out we are able to generate thermal post FO distribution, but only in highly simplified situation. In a more advanced model, taking into account rescattering and re-thermaliz...

Electoral Bias and Policy Choice: Theory and Evidence

This paper develops an approach to studying how bias in favor of one party due to the pattern of electoral districting a¤ects policy choice. We tie a commonly used measure of electoral bias to the theory of party competition and show how this a¤ects party strategy in theory. The usefulness of the approach is illustrated using data on local government in England. The results suggest that reducin...
