We use microdata collected at the border and store to characterize price impact of recent US trade policy on importers, exporters, consumers. At border, import tariff pass-through is much higher than exchange rate pass-through. Chinese exporters did not lower their dollar prices by much, despite appreciation dollar. By contrast, significantly lowered affected foreign retaliatory tariffs. In sto...

The purpose of this article is to investigate the impact that the introduction of a carbon price signal will have on wholesale electricity prices, carbon-pass-through rates and retail electricity rates in the states making up the Australian National Electricity Market (NEM). In order to assess this, we employ an agent based model of the NEM called the ANEM model which contains many of the salie...

e xchange rate is an important factor influencing price indices of exported goods of a country in different ways. imported intermediate commodity is one of the important ways by which the change in exchange rate affects price indices of the exported goods. using the input-output table of iran for the year 2001, this paper investigates the impact of exchange rate devaluation on price indices of ...

In this paper we propose, develop, and test a new single-feature evaluator called Significant Proportion of Target Instances (SPTI) to handle the direct-marketing data with the class imbalance problem. The SPTI feature evaluator demonstrates its stability and outstanding performance through empirical experiments in which the real-world customer data of an e-recruitment firm are used. This resea...

The model shows how a regulated monopolist’s price should change as random cost and demand parameters are revealed. The regulator has a Ramsey-type problem. With a linear tariff a trade-off between allocative efficiency and risk sharing typically exists. The attitudes of the consumer and the firm to both income and price risk determine how the price should move. Sufficient conditions are found ...

The rate of cost pass-through exceeds 50% under strategic delegation of decision-making to managers with sales revenue contracts— regardless of the number of …rms in the industry and demand curvature. This contrasts sharply with pro…t-maximization, for which cost pass-through can take on any positive value. The key intuition is that …rms under delegation act as if they faced more rivals than th...

A new circuit topology realizing a first-order currentmode all-pass filter is proposed using two dual-output second generation current conveyor and two passive components. The circuit possesses low-input and high-output impedance, which makes it ideal for current-mode systems. The proposed circuit is verified through PSPICE simulation results. Keywords—active filter, all-pass filter, current-mo...

This paper simulates the effect of a carbon tariff on China’s trade of industrial products and emission reduction through the GTAP 8.0 model, when the European Union, the United States, and Japan impose a carbon tariff simultaneously or respectively. The conclusions indicate: (1) a carbon tariff will cause a decrease in exports for high-carbon industries and generate an increase in exports for ...
