The distributional impact of unification and the 1992–93 recession on West German households

The 1992–93 recession in the western states of Germany has been attributed, in substantial measure, to the macroeconomic consequences of policies to finance unification. Studies of the costs of unification have not attempted to measure the burden of the recession. We estimate a dynamic, panel model of household incomes using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) and use it to forecast what these incomes would have been in 1992–94 without a recession. Using a ratio of actual to forecast incomes, we compare the relative burden of the recession across households. Our findings suggest that western households below the median income bore the brunt of the combined impact of unification and the recession of 1992–93.

Bayesian MCMC Mapping of Quantitative Trait Loci in a Half-sib Design: a Graphical Model Perspective

Graphical models provide a powerful and flexible approach to the analysis of complex problems in genetics. While task-specific software may be extremely efficient for any particular analysis, it is often difficult to adapt to new computational challenges. By viewing these genetic applications in a more general framework, many problems can be handled by essentially the same software. This is advantageous in an area where fast methodological development is essential. Once a method has been fully developed and tested, problem-specific software may then be required. The aim of this paper is to illustrate the potential use of a graphical model approach to genetic analyses by taking a very simple and well-understood problem by way of example.

Capital in the Twenty-First Century: Reinterpreting the fundamental contradiction of capitalism

At a theoretical level this article discusses Piketty’s hypothesis that the distribution of income and wealth tends to become more concentrated over time when the rate of return on capital is greater than the growth rate of real output. We develop a post Keynesian model of growth and distribution showing that once capital is differentiated from wealth, the increase in income and wealth concentration actually occurs when the rate of valorization of financial and real estate assets is greater than the growth rate of real output, and that this situation may be triggered by financial liberalization.     

货币政策传导的信贷渠道：理论与中国的现实

我国货币政策传导机制中,由于利率市场化程度不高、货币市场不发达等因素,制约了利率传导机制、资产价格机制、汇率传导机制的有效性。在回顾货币政策传导机制各种理论的基础上,分析我国货币政策的信贷渠道,并通过实证检验,揭示出目前信贷渠道仍然是我国货币政策传导的主要途径。     

信用认知对农户借贷还款行为的影响研究——基于河南省的实证分析

信用认知是影响农户拖欠借款的重要因素,并且认知程度越深,拖欠贷款的可能性越低.家庭外出务工人数、家庭公共费用缴纳情况、区位年平均家庭收入显著地影响农户拖欠借款的行为,而户主年龄及其受教育水平、纯收入及借贷利率对农户拖欠借款行为没有产生显著的影响.     

基于产业异质性的银行贷款政策效应分析——来自上市银行的经验证据

在银行信贷资金配置存在产业间差异的假定下,建立引入产业因素的银行贷款决定模型,考察产业因素影响银行贷款渠道有效性的内在机制,并运用2007年到2010年14家上市银行和5组产业数据展开动态面板模型估计,结果表明：从贷款需求角度看,各个产业的产出对产业贷款的影响效应存在产业间差异;从贷款供给角度看,人民银行运用货币政策工具调控产业贷款的影响效应也存在产业间差异。也就是说,产业因素确实影响到人民银行调控各个特定产业贷款的力度。     

制度质量与收入不均：基于中国省级层面数据的实证研究

本文通过建立跨省动态面板模型,运用系统GMM估计方法考察各省制度质量对我国收入分配和收入不均的影响,发现我国制度质量与收入不均之间存在倒U型的关系,当制度质量较低的时候,制度质量的提升会加大贫富差距,但当制度质量提升到一定程度,跨过一定的门槛值之后,会缩小贫富差距。我国制度质量尚处于较低阶段,因此近年来我国制度质量的提升,加剧了财富由低收入人群向高收入人群的转移,扩大了贫富差距。
