Because health status is influenced by many factors outside the health system, I argue that measurements of health system efficiency should focus on the process of turning financial input into additional health output rather than the levels of health status reached. When analyzing levels of health status using regression methods, the appropriate efficiency indicator is hence not a country-specific intercept based on the achieved health status, but a coun- try-specific slope for input factors in the production function of health outcomes. The slopes represent health system effi- ciency, while the intercepts represent health relevant heterogeneity among countries. Using data on OECD members these slopes are estimated. Countries differ far more in their residual heterogeneity than in the rate by which their health system turns money into life years.","PeriodicalId":53338,"journal":{"name":"Economics-The Open Access Open-Assessment E-Journal","volume":"12 1","pages":"20-30"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87477531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two formulations of the univariate process of personal dis- posable income are adopted: in the levels and in the log-levels. More than one sample is studied. Three different impacts are defined and measured. In theory, the three of them should be equal. The conclusion that is strongly supported is that these three impacts are significantly different from each other, implying that excess smoothness is still a feature of the data. However a weak version of the permanent income hypothesis is endorsed which is that consumption changes by the annuity value of revised expectations of future income. In other terms, permanent income innovations have a significant, although relatively small, effect on consumption.","PeriodicalId":53338,"journal":{"name":"Economics-The Open Access Open-Assessment E-Journal","volume":"36 1","pages":"10-19"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83148187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the multivariate GARCH model, we tested the conditional version of the Sharpe-Lintner- Mossin CAPM. In contrast to previous studies, we derive and focus strictly on the monthly time-varying risk prices while employing the Fama and French approach by constructing 25 size-ranked and 25 BE/ME-ranked portfolio returns. The em- pirical results show that the price of risk in the conditional version of the Sharpe-Lintner-Mossin CAPM is generally positive and significant when the time-varying covariances from the multivariate GARCH model are used. This provides evidence contrary to the findings of many international studies in which the validity of the traditional CAPM is very often denied.","PeriodicalId":53338,"journal":{"name":"Economics-The Open Access Open-Assessment E-Journal","volume":"16 1","pages":"58-63"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84309172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a central component of macroeconomic think- ing, purchasing power parity is battered and battle-worn. Using methods that allow for breaking means and trends, this re- search note provides irrefutable evidence in favor of purchasing power parity for a wide range of countries since the late 1800s. The results suggest managers can consider purchasing power parity a long-term anchor around which they can build their strategic plans.","PeriodicalId":53338,"journal":{"name":"Economics-The Open Access Open-Assessment E-Journal","volume":"137 1","pages":"55-57"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86484848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we model the problem of contractual choice as a principal-agent contract which is modified due to hidden information about the competence of the agent to fulfill the obli- gations of the contract. The agent offers a choice of contracts to the principal, thereby signalling agent competence to the principal, and there is no alternative reputation mechanism to the contract for the principal's bargaining strategy. It turns out that in this situation, the optimal contract will have a form which may be recognized as a no-cure-no-pay contract.","PeriodicalId":53338,"journal":{"name":"Economics-The Open Access Open-Assessment E-Journal","volume":"27 1","pages":"47-54"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90432726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Of these variables, the undocumented immi- gration variable is by far the most important in terms of both weight and statistical significance. \"But he that filches from me my good name/Robs me of that which not enriches him/And makes me poor indeed\" (Iago in Shakespeare's Othello, Act 3, Scene 3).","PeriodicalId":53338,"journal":{"name":"Economics-The Open Access Open-Assessment E-Journal","volume":"29 1","pages":"37-46"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83051379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With this paper, we wish to provide one possible integrating view of the nature of the growth generating processes. Revisiting the models that constitute the core of growth theory, we expose analytically the main mechanisms through which long-run growth can be delivered. Models that contemplate physical capital accumulation generate long-run growth through the attainment of a non- declining marginal productivity of capital. One mechanism for achieving this entails the introduction of technological progress; another mechanism involves the inclusion of human capital accumulation; and a third method relies on the elimination from the production function of the diminishing returns to capital feature. The foundational models that clas- sically represent each of these mechanisms are reviewed in an analytical and integrating perspective. Some growth models do not contemplate physical capital and hence obtain long-run growth without generating a non- declining marginal productivity of capital. We look into two reference models of this nature.","PeriodicalId":53338,"journal":{"name":"Economics-The Open Access Open-Assessment E-Journal","volume":"12 1","pages":"25-36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80091589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
