A model of an economy with random matching and monetary exchanges is shown to have two equilibrium regimes. In the first, agents find an opportunity for a sale in each period and there is full-employment. In the second, agents attempt to increase their balances because of a lack of opportunities for sales which is in turn induced by the saving for higher money balances, and there is unemploymen...

This study examines whether language-specific input influences children’s nonlinguistic spatial cognition as they acquire their first language. Recent research on infant cognition has shown that preverbal infants can make a distinction between tight-fit and loose-fit containment relations. This distinction is systematically made in Korean (kkita ‘fit tightly’), but not in English (in). Using a ...

It uses the unemployment rate in the travel-to-work area in which the woman lives as the indicator of employment opportunities. The estimates indicate po...

Persistently poor rural areas may suffer from spatial mismatches similar to those found in urban inner cities due in part to commuting distances and lack of employment opportunities. Economic development strategies for improving economic outcomes in such persistently poor rural areas can include the strategic placement of higher education campuses. This paper examines the impacts and effects of...

Knowing whether a household behaves according to separability or non-separability is needed for the correct modeling of production decisions. We propose a superior test to those found in the literature on separability by using a mixture distribution approach to estimate the probability that a farm household behaves according to non-separability, and test that the determinants of consumption aff...
