This working paper reviews general changes in EU labour markets, with reference to the four major EU countries, France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom. It sheds light on the possible links between foreign trade and employment in manufacturing industries, using data for a panel of 40 industries over the period 1970-1995. The estimates do not provide evidence of significant effects of impo...

We provide an axiomatization of generalized utilitarian social welfare functions in the context of Harsanyi’s impartial observer theorem. To do this, we reformulate Harsanyi’s problem such that lotteries over identity (accidents of birth) and lotteries over outcomes (life chances) are independent. We show how to accommodate (…rst) Diamond’s critique concerning fairness and (second) Pattanaik’s ...

Practical aspects of likelihood-based inference and forecasting of series with long memory are considered, based on the arfima(p; d; q) model with deterministic regressors. Sampling characteristics of approximate and exact first-order asymptotic methods are compared. The analysis is extended using modified profile likelihood analysis, which is a higher-order asymptotic method suggested by Cox a...

The growing empirical literature on the analysis of civil war has recently included the study of conflict duration at the cross-country level. This paper presents, for the first time, a within-country analysis of the determinants of violence duration. I focus on the experience of the Colombian armed conflict. While the conflict has been active for about five decades, local violence ebbs and flo...
