Do Better Schools Matter? Parental Valuation of Elementary Education

by Sandra E. Black - QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS , 1999
"... The evaluation of numerous school reforms requires an understanding of the value of better schools. Given the difficulty of calculating the relationship between school quality and student outcomes, I turn to another method and use house prices to infer the value parents place on school quality. I lo ..."

look within school districts at houses located on attendance district boundaries; houses then differ only by the elementary school the child attends. I thereby effectively remove the variation in neighborhoods, taxes, and school spending. I find that parents are willing to pay 2.5 percent more for a 5

Credit Cycles

by Nobuhiro Kiyotaki, John Moore - Journal of Political Economy , 1997
"... We construct a model of a dynamic economy in which lenders cannot force borrowers to repay their debts unless the debts are secured. In such an economy, durable assets play a dual role: not only are they factors of production, but they also serve as collateral for loans. The dynamic interaction betw ..."
Abstract - Cited by 1673 (38 self) - Add to MetaCart
between credit limits and asset prices turns out to be a powerful transmission mechanism by which the effects of shocks persist, amplify, and spill over to other sectors. We show that small, temporary shocks to technology or income distribution can generate large, persistent fluctuations in output

The relationship between return and market value of common stocks

by Rolf W. Banz - Journal of Financial Economics , 1981
"... This study examines the empirical relattonship between the return and the total market value of NYSE common stocks. It is found that smaller firms have had htgher risk adjusted returns, on average, than larger lirms. This ‘size effect ’ has been in existence for at least forty years and is evidence ..."

that the capital asset pricing model is misspecttied. The size elfect is not linear in the market value; the main effect occurs for very small tirms while there is little difference m return between average sized and large firms. It IS not known whether size per se is responsible for the effect or whether size

Motivation through the Design of Work: Test of a Theory. Organizational Behavior and Human Performance,

by ] Richard Hackman , Grec R Oldham , 1976
"... A model is proposed that specifies the conditions under which individuals will become internally motivated to perform effectively on their jobs. The model focuses on the interaction among three classes of variables: (a) the psychological states of employees that must be present for internally motiv ..."

Measuring the information content of stock trades

by Joel Hasbrouck - Journal of Finance , 1991
"... This paper suggests that the interactions of security trades and quote revisions be modeled as a vector autoregressive system. Within this framework, a trade's information effect may be meaningfully measured as the ultimate price impact of the trade innovation. Estimates for a sample of NYSE is ..."

"... ABSTRACT Using dealer's quotes and transactions prices on straight industrial bonds, we investigate the determinants of credit spread changes. Variables that should in theory determine credit spread changes have rather limited explanatory power. Further, the residuals from this regression are ..."

and magnitude of a large negative jump in firm value should have a significant effect on credit spreads. This factor is rather difficult to proxy because historical occurrences of such jumps are rare enough to be of little value in predicting future probabilities and magnitude of such jumps. Therefore, we

Conditional skewness in asset pricing tests

by Campbell R. Harvey, Akhtar Siddique - Journal of Finance , 2000
"... If asset returns have systematic skewness, expected returns should include rewards for accepting this risk. We formalize this intuition with an asset pricing model that incorporates conditional skewness. Our results show that conditional skewness helps explain the cross-sectional variation of expect ..."

of expected returns across assets and is significant even when factors based on size and book-to-market are included. Systematic skewness is economically important and commands a risk premium, on average, of 3.60 percent per year. Our results suggest that the momentum effect is related to systematic skewness

International Outsourcing and Factor Prices with Multistage Production

by Wilhelm Kohler - ECONOMIC JOURNAL , 2004
"... We develop a dual representation of the technology of international fragmentation for an industry using 2 factors in a continuum of stages. We then derive a generalised factor price frontier which incorporates an endogenous adjustment of the margin fragmentation. Using this frontier in a 2×2 general ..."
Abstract - Cited by 76 (4 self) - Add to MetaCart
×2 general equilibrium model, we investigate the role of outsourcing in the adjustment to a decline in the final output price of the multistage industry, and the attendant factor price effects. We also explore the implications of an improved technology of international fragmentation on the margin

Counterparty Risk and the Pricing of Defaultable Securities

by Robert A. Jarrow, Fan Yu - THE JOURNAL OF FINANCE , 2001
"... Motivated by recent financial crises in East Asia and the United States where the downfall of a small number of firms had an economy-wide impact, this paper generalizes existing reduced-form models to include default intensities dependent on the default of a counterparty. In this model, firms have c ..."
Abstract - Cited by 184 (11 self) - Add to MetaCart
correlated defaults due not only to an exposure to common risk factors, but also to firm-specific risks that are termed “counterparty risks.” Numerical examples illustrate the effect of counterparty risk on the pricing of defaultable bonds and credit derivatives such as default swaps.

Do Actions Speak Louder Than Words? The Response of Asset Prices to Monetary Policy Actions and Statements

by Refet S. Gürkaynak, C Brian Sack, Eric T. Swanson C - International Journal of Central Banking , 2005
"... We investigate the effects of U.S. monetary policy on asset prices using a high-frequency event-study analysis. We test whether these effects are adequately captured by a single factor—changes in the federal funds rate target—and find that they are not. Instead, we find that two factors are required ..."
