Living Standards in St. Louis and the Eighth Federal Reserve District: Let’s Get Real
Gascon, Charles S.; Kliesen, Kevin L.; Coughlin, Cletus C. (2017)
Recently, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) has developed the Regional Price Parities (RPPs), spatial price indexes that allow for comparison of cost of living differences across various geographic areas. By construction, RPPs compare the average price level for a region with the national average. Accordingly, unlike traditional, temporal price indexes, RPPs can be used to adjust nominal incomes for cost of living differences, thereby allowing for more accurate comparison of living standards across geographic areas. When adjusting incomes in this manner, the authors find that, despite ...

Regulating carbon emissions: the cap-and-trade program
Ott, Lesli S.; Coughlin, Cletus C. (2009-10)
The anti-pollution program in Congress contains desirable economic features. But a key component - an auction process covering all permits for carbon emissions - does not seem to be politically viable.

How dangerous is the U.S. current account deficit?
Poole, William; Pakko, Michael R.; Coughlin, Cletus C. (2006-04)
Although this deficit has been rising steadily since the early 1990s, a "hard landing" for the U.S. economy is unlikely. One reason is that only in the United States can so many foreigners invest so much money and get such good returns.

Measuring international trade policy: a primer on trade restrictiveness indices
Coughlin, Cletus C. (2010-09)
Measuring the overall restrictiveness of a country's international trade policies is important and, in fact, essential for estimating the effects of trade policies and for negotiations to reduce trade barriers. A good measure is also difficult to produce: Trade restrictiveness indices are constructed by combining the actual structure of trade restrictions, which is generally quite different across goods, into a single number. Under certain assumptions, this single number is the uniform tariff that would produce the same trade restrictiveness as the actual differentiated structure of ...

Aviation security and terrorism: a review of the economic issues
Cohen, Jeffrey P.; Khan, Sarosh R.; Coughlin, Cletus C. (2002-09)
Following the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, the passage of the Aviation and Transportation Security Act mandated a substantial increase in resources devoted to aviation security. This paper summarizes the specific changes stemming from this legislation. In addition, the paper examines the economic issues underlying the regulation and provision of aviation security. The fact that security at one airport can affect the well being of those at other airports and elsewhere, an example of a network externality (spillover), provides an economic justification for governmental involvement ...

The boom and bust of U.S. housing prices from various geographic perspectives
Cohen, Jeffrey P.; Lopez, David A.; Coughlin, Cletus C. (2012-09)
This paper summarizes changes in housing prices during the recent U.S. boom and bust from various geographic perspectives. Nationally, the Standard & Poor?s/Case-Shiller house price index more than doubled in nominal terms during the boom and has fallen by roughly a third subsequently. During the boom, housing prices tended to rise much faster in metropolitan areas in the East and West Coast regions than in the country?s interior. After adjusting for inflation, 7 of 19 metropolitan areas have experienced real declines in housing prices from the start of the boom to the present. Although ...
