The explanatory variables include the number of government hospitals per capita, doctors’ fee per visit at a private clinic, income per capita, the average price of medicine and the number of outpatient visits per capita in the previous period...

For the case of public transport, we consider problem demand estimation. Given an origin-destination matrix representing transport demand, distribution flow among different lines can be obtained assuming that it corresponds to a certain equilibrium characterized by optimization problem. In particular will focus on assignment model proposed Cepeda et al. (2006). However knowledge is expensive an...

In this paper we use intraday government bond futures price changes around German and Italian Treasury auctions to identify unexpected shifts in the demand for public debt. Estimates show that positive shocks lead large negative movements yields. Evidence shows significant spillover effects into bond, equity, corporate markets of other eurozone countries. We find interesting differences between...

There has been considerable attention devoted to demand-side financing in the literature and the popular press. Approaches that allocate financial incentives...
