This paper highlights the role of the domestic tax system in determining the economic consequences of an external debt overhang. The analysis indicates that fairly strong, and probably unrealistic, assumptions about the domestic tax system are needed to argue that the investment disincentives associated with the debt overhang are large enough to place a country on the wrong side of the debt Laf...

The first is based upon the seminal work of Nobel Prize winner Larry Klein in his 1947 paper. This has two basic components. First, an essentially Keynesian system of macro-theoretical relationships. Second, fitting curves (planes) through empirical macrodata using econometric (statistical) techniques to estimate parameters for these theoretical relationships. Over the past 60 years, the models...

This is a response to email queries from Larry Christiano about my views on the role of uncertainty, and in particular unemployment risk, in business cycle fluctuations.

The goal for this section of the course is to characterize families of related DNA or protein sequences. We may be interested in characterizing sequence surrounding binding sites of particular proteins, promoter regions, the location of genes, exons, or splice junctions in DNA sequence, families of repeated sequences, or families of proteins with similar function. Methods presented in this sect...
