A reduced-form statistical climate model suitable for coupling with economic emissions projections
In this work, we use models based on past data and scientific analysis to determine possible future states of the environment. We attempt to improve the equations for temperature and greenhouse gas concentration used in conjunction with the MIT Emissions Prediction and Policy Analysis (EPPA) model …

An econometric study on the market structures of the world demand for high protein meals, with special emphasis upon the United States soybean economy
… The world economy of high protein meals was formulated in a theoretical framework which provided a basis for the statistical estimation. The core of the analysis is a simultaneous equation model composed of eight linear stochastic behavioral relations and four linear identities. The …

Essays in applied macroeconomics
… growth. I employ a unique combination of reduced-form, theoretical, and structural tools in my thesis. Each chapter typically starts with new empirical patterns relevant for macro, established using large-scale firm-level data and state-of- the-art reduced-form econometric methods. I …

The Price Impacts on the Canned Peach Industry by the Federal Commodity Procurement Program
… tests for the processor-level partial reduced form price equation, the processor-level final reduced form price equation and the farm-level final reduced form price equation indicate that there is no significant evidence that the quantity demanded of commodity procurements stabilizes or …

The Demand for Consumer Credit
… community. While much research has been performed on this topic in the financial industry, the findings have been very closely guarded for competitive reasons. In this study, reduced form equations were derived to form the basis of a 2SLS regression model. This model was used to estimate the …

STUDIES ON THE REACTION OF HIGH-DOSE HYDROXOCOBALAMIN AND ASCORBIC ACID WITH CARBON MONOXIDE: IMPLICATIONS FOR TREATMENT OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
… evidence from the 1970’s we proposed that a reduced form of hydroxocobalamin should be capable of producing carbon dioxide (CO2) from carbon monoxide (CO) in blood, and that this conversion should be detectable. Using resonance raman spectroscopy we demonstrated that a mixture of …

Understanding Food Stamp Program Participation Among Female-Headed Households: Has It Been Affected By Participation In The AFDC/TANF Program?
… families with children (SFHFwC) after welfare reform in 1996. There is concern that leaving welfare program has led to nonparticipation in food stamp program due to multiple reasons. This study conducts an empirical analysis of non-metropolitan SFHFwC's participation in food stamp program and …

An evaluation of the monetary transmission mechanisms in South Africa
… Mechanisms in South Africa. I employ a reduced-form VAR model to test the strength of the Monetary Transmission Mechanisms during two distinctly different monetary policy regimes. I investigate the strength of the various transmission channels during the Monetary Targeting regime using …

Kinetics and mechanism of an adsorptive displacement on polyoxotungstate modified electrodes
… is stronger than that of the oxidized form of 2,6-disulfonated anthraquinone (2,6-AQDS) but weaker than that of the reduced form of 2,6-AQDS. Thus, the identity of the molecules adsorbed on the electrode surface in contact with a solution of 2,6-AQDS and SiW$\sb{12}$ can be selected …

Modeling large-scale singular climate events for integrated assessment
Erkenntnisse aus paläoklimatologischen Studien, theoretischen Betrachtungen und Modellsimulationen deuten darauf hin, dass anthropogene Emissionen von Treibhausgasen und Aerosolen zu großskaligen, singulären Klimaereignissen führen könnten. Diese bezeichnen stark nichtlineare, abrupte …

Structural Studies of Catalysis and Processing in Galactose
… derived radical cofactor. A covalent bond, formed between the active site cysteine and the Cc of a tyrosine act as a site for radical formation, allowing the enzyme to catalyse the two electron oxidation of primary alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes, with the coproduction of hydrogen …

Essays in Empirical Microeconomics and Finance
… on limited participation, the paper makes use of reduced form estimations to show that Italian households hedge their labour income risk on the risky assets market. It contributes by proposing a novel measure of labour income volatility, ground on the literature on labour income dynamics. On a …

Essays on the Use of Duality, Robust Empirical Methods, Panel Treatments, and Model Averaging with Applications to Housing Price Index Construction and World Productivity Growth
… empirical analysis become a problem. Standard information criteria provide measures of the performance of each candidate model, but multiple criteria can lead to contradicting conclusions about which model is the best one. In addition, the model selection approach itself ignores the risk of model …

Essays on New Keynesian Term Premium Model with Financial Risks
… model estimated by a one-step full information maximum likelihood (FIML) method. The second chapter shows that the one-step FIML method may produce estimation biases, which result in biased expected short rates and term premia. The chapter then presents an alternative estimation …

Bayesian and nonBayesian Techniques for Forecasting Monthly Cattle Prices
… recursive system of supply and demand whose reduced form is used as the forecasting equation for the econometric model and is also the information set on which all other models are based. The econometric analysis is based on constant, stochastic and Bayesian estimation procedures. The …

Correlations in firm default behavior
Modeling credit risk using Structural and Reduced Form models has been a popular and apropos topic of research. This work makes an attempt to better understand correlations in firm default. A review of contemporary research reveals several models with varying degrees of assumptions around firm …

Economic analysis of coffee supply in Kenya
A reduced form supply equation, derived from the structural functions that underlie the coffee supply, is estimated for Kenyan coffee producers. This is because the standard Nerlovian supply response model is not appropriate for a perennial crop such as coffee. The results of the estimated function …

Essays on empirical industrial organization
This dissertation studies platform markets in which a durable device interacts with consumable or content complements, asking how intellectual property policy, licensing choices, and product design shape adoption, pricing, welfare, and environmental outcomes. I develop empirically grounded …
