Endogenous policy choice: The case of pollution and growth," Review of Economics Dynamics

by Larry E. Jones, Rodolfo E. Manuelli, We Thank Graziella Bertocchi, V. V. Chari, Hal Cole, Mike Dotsey, Jeremy Greenwood, Arik Levinson, Sergio Rebelo , 2001
"... What determines the relationship between pollution and growth? Are the forces that explain the behavior over time of these quantities potentially useful to understand more generally the relationship between policies and growth? In this paper, we make a first attempt to analyze the equilibrium behavi ..."

equilibrium nature of the relationship between the two variables depends on whether individuals vote over effluent charges or directly restrict the choice of technology. Moreover, our analysis of the pollution problem suggests that, more generally, endogenous policy choices should be taken seriously

Why Do Some Countries Produce So Much More Output Per Worker Than Others?

by Robert E. Hall, Charles I. Jones , 1998
"... Output per worker varies enormously across countries. Why? On an accounting basis, our analysis shows that differences in physical capital and educational attainment can only partially explain the variation in output per worker — we find a large amount of variation in the level of the Solow residual ..."

residual across countries. At a deeper level, we document that the differences in capital accumulation, productivity, and therefore output per worker are driven by differences in institutions and government policies, which we call social infrastructure. We treat social infrastructure as endogenous

The Colonial Origins of Comparative Development: An Empirical Analysis

by Daron Acemoglu, Simon Johnson, James A. Robinson - AMERICAN ECONOMIC REVIEW , 2002
"... We exploit differences in early colonial experience to estimate the effect of institutions on economic performance. Our argument is that Europeans adopted very different colonization policies in different colonies, with different associated institutions. The choice of colonization strategy was, at l ..."

Time series tests of endogenous growth models

by Charles I. Jones - Quarterly Journal of Economics , 1995
"... According to endogenous growth theory, permanent changes in certain policy variables have permanent effects on the rate of economic growth. Empirically, however, U. S. growth rates exhibit no large persistent changes. Therefore, the determinants of long-run growth highlighted by a specific growth mo ..."

A Virtual Machine Introspection Based Architecture for Intrusion Detection

by Tal Garfinkel, Mendel Rosenblum - In Proc. Network and Distributed Systems Security Symposium , 2003
"... Today's architectures for intrusion detection force the IDS designer to make a difficult choice. If the IDS resides on the host, it has an excellent view of what is happening in that host's software, but is highly susceptible to attack. On the other hand, if the IDS resides in the network, ..."

Scheduling Policies for an On-Demand Video Server with Batching

by Asit Dan, Dinkar Sitaram, Perwez Shahabuddin - in Proc. of ACM Multimedia , 1994
"... In an on-demand video server environment, clients make requests for movies to a centralized video server. Due to the stringent response time requirements, continuous delivery of a video stream to the client has to be guaranteed by reserving sufficient resources required to deliver a stream. Hence th ..."

be achieved by batching requests for the same movie that arrive within a short duration of time. In this paper, we consider various policies for selecting the movie to be multicast. The choice of a policy depends very much on the customer waiting time tolerance before reneging. We show that an FCFS policy

Supporting Multiple Access Control Policies in Database Systems

by Elisa Bertino, Sushil Jajodia, Pierangela Samarati - ACM Transactions on Database Systems , 1996
"... Although there are several choices of policies for protection of information, access control models have been developed for a fixed set pre-defined access control policies that are then built into the corresponding access control mechanisms. This becomes a problem, however, if the access control req ..."

Flexible Update Propagation for Weakly Consistent Replication

by Karin Petersen, Mike J. Spreitzer , Douglas B. Terry , Marvin M. Theimer, Alan J. Demers
"... Bayou’s anti-entropy protocol for update propagation between weakly consistent storage replicas is based on pair-wise communication, the propagation of write operations, and a set of ordering and closure constraints on the propagation of the writes. The simplicity of the design makes the protocol ve ..."

very flexible, thereby providing support for diverse networking environments and usage scenarios. It accommodates a variety of policies for when and where to propagate updates. It operates over diverse network topologies, including low-bandwidth links. It is incremental. It enables replica convergence

Exchange Rate Pass-Through into Import Prices: A Macro or MICRO PHENOMENON

by José Manuel Campa, Linda S. Goldberg - WORKING PAPER, IESE BUSINESS SCHOOL AND FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF , 2002
"... Exchange rate regime optimality, as well as monetary policy effectiveness, depends on the tightness of the link between exchange rate movements and import prices. Recent debates hinge on whether producer-currency-pricing (PCP) or local currency pricing (LCP) of imports is more prevalent, and on whet ..."
