Rao’s score test in spatial econometrics
Rao’s score test provides an extremely useful framework for developing diagnostics against hypotheses that re+ect cross-sectional or spatial correlation in regression models, a major focus of attention in spatial econometrics. In this paper, a review and assessment is presented of the application of Rao’s score test against three broad classes of spatial alternatives: spatial autoregressive and...
متن کاملCollusive market-sharing and corruption in procurement
This paper investigates links between corruption and collusion in procurement. A rst-price multiple-object auction is administered by an agent who has legal discretion to allow for a readjustment of (all) submitted o¤ers before the o¢ cial opening. The agent may be corrupt, i.e. willing to sellhis decision in exchange for a bribe. Our main result shows that the corrupt agents incentives to ...
متن کاملSpatial Econometrics using MATLAB
Toolboxes are the name given by the MathWorks to related sets of MATLAB functions aimed at solving a particular class of problems. Toolboxes of functions useful in signal processing, optimization, statistics, finance and a host of other areas are available from the MathWorks as add-ons to the standard MATLAB software distribution. I use the term Spatial Econometrics Toolbox to refer to my publi...
متن کاملBidding behavior in a repeated procurement auction: A summary
This paper considers bidding behavior in a repeated procurement auction setting. We study highway procurement data for the state of California between December 1994 and October 1998. We consider a dynamic bidding model that takes into account the presence of intertemporal constraints such as capacity constraints. We estimate the model non-parametrically and assess the presence of dynamic constr...
متن کاملTransportation Service Procurement Using Combinatorial Auction
Auction is a mechanism of selling distinct assets that can be both physical objects and virtual objects. Examples of virtual objects are the rights to use assets like airport time slots and FCC spectrum, or to service truckload delivery routes in a transportation network. Under some situations bidding on combinations of objects can render lower total price compare with bidding the objects one a...
