The EKC: Some really disturbing Monte Carlo evidence

In many fields of the economics discipline, much of the empirical work includes a thorough analysis of time series data. In environmental economics, however, such an analysis is often neglected. This is unfortunate for two reasons. First, as Lee and List (2004. Examining trends of criteria air pollutants: ere the effects of government intervention transitory? Environmental and Resource Economic...

Reasoning Under Uncertainty: Some Monte Carlo Results

A series of monte carlo studies were performed to compare the behavior of some alternative procedures for reasoning under uncertainty. The behavior of several Bayesian, linear model and default reasoning procedures were examined in the context of increasing levels of calibration error. The most interesting result is that Bayesian procedures tended to output more extreme posterior belief values ...

Optimum Monte Carlo Simulations: Some Exact Results

Abstract. We obtain exact results for the acceptance ratio and mean squared displacement in Monte Carlo simulations of the simple harmonic oscillator in D dimensions. When the trial displacement is made uniformly in the radius, we demonstrate that the results are independent of the dimensionality of the space. We also study the dynamics of the process via a spectral analysis and we obtain an ac...
