Ex-post favoring ranks: a fairness notion for the random assignment problem

We introduce two notions of ex-post fairness, namely ex-post favoring ranks (EFR) and robust ex-post favoring ranks, which consider whether objects are received by those agents who have the highest rank for them. We examine their compatibility with standard properties of random assignments and state some impossibility theorems. We also propose and formalize a revised version of the Boston mechanism and prove that it provides an EFR random assignment.

Indivisibilities and interplant transportation cost: Do they cause market breakdown?

This paper considers the ability of the land market to allocate space among activities when economic agents operate subject to scale economies, and when the agents trade with one another, thus incurring transport cost. The structure of the problem is that of Koopmans and Beckmann. The land market fails to clear properly only for certain parameter values. The inability of the land market to work properly is found to result from the failure of the market to properly price accessibility, or alternatively, from the failure to price congestion. It is a standard externality problem.     

积极财政政策淡出的时机尚未成熟

1998年至今,我国坚持扩大内需方针,实施积极的财政政策,对保持国民经济持续快速增长发挥了明显的促进作用.目前,实施积极财政政策已进入第五个年头,有人提出,积极的财政政策到了淡出的时候.事实上,判定积极财政政策是否淡出,应综合考虑三个条件:一是通货紧缩趋势是否得到有效控制;二是国内投资需求、消费需求的内生增长机制是否形成;三是国家财政的承受能力.从我国经济发展的现实情况看,积极财政政策淡出的时机并不成熟.     

An assessment of another decade of capital controls in Colombia: 1998–2008

We explore the effectiveness of capital controls in Colombia. We analyze the impact of administrative restrictions to capital flows on aggregate capital flows, the composition of capital flows, the real exchange rate, and economic activity using restricted versions of vector error correction models (VEC) that control for exogenous global financial conditions. The models are estimated using monthly data ranging from August of 1998 to May of 2008. In addition we estimate GARCH models to identify if capital controls have had relevant impacts on the volatility of the nominal exchange rate and of other relevant asset prices. These models are estimated using weekly data covering the same time period. Results suggest that the capital controls used since 1998 have been ineffective in reducing capital flows and the trend of the Colombian peso to appreciate. In addition there is no evidence suggesting a change in the composition of capital flows induced by capital controls. We find some evidence in favor of capital controls reducing nominal exchange rate volatility at high frequencies.

Normalization in point estimation

When estimating the parameters of a single equation, normalization rules are customarily imposed. By example, it is shown that these rules may introduce arbitrary elements into the estimation procedure, whether classical or Bayesian.
