The economics of payment finality
Roberds, William; Kahn, Charles M. (2002-04)

They first present a simple, historically based model of transferable debt and finality. The discussion demonstrates the desirability of transferable debt and why rules governing payment finality are needed to sort out who will bear the losses in the event of default. ...

To call or not to call?: optimal call policies for callable U.S. Treasury bonds
Bliss, Robert R.; Ronn, Ehud I. (1995-11)

Cunningham, Thomas J. (1995-05)
Since the end of the 1991 recession, almost 27 percent of all new jobs in the United States have been created in the six southeastern states that make up the Sixth Federal Reserve District.

Macroeconomic models with heterogeneous agents and housing
Jeske, Karsten (2005-10)
The housing sector?s important role in the U.S. economy is hard to miss: Real estate held in household portfolios in 2004 was worth $17 trillion, and the mortgage market now totals more than $7.5 trillion. ; To understand how this sector and related government policies affect households and the economy, economists attempt to incorporate housing and housing finance into heterogeneous agent models?macroeconomic models that capture the economic and demographic diversity among households.

Evidence on the efficiency of index options markets
Tian, Yisong S.; Ackert, Lucy F. (2000-01)
Index options have been one of the most successful of the many innovative financial instruments introduced over the last few decades, as their high trading volume indicates. Given their prominence, the pricing efficiency of these markets is of great importance. ; Detecting inefficient pricing, or mispricing, requires comparing a theoretically efficient price with prices of options traded in financial markets. One popular approach to deriving pricing relationships is based on a principle called no-arbitrage, which simply assumes that arbitrageurs enter the market and quickly eliminate ...

Economic policy trends in post-World War II Latin America
Lozada, Carlos (1999-10)

The recent discussion over dollarization is but one of many such debates. ; As the author of this article demonstrates, the current rethinking of economic policy in Latin America is only the latest chapter of a much longer story. Well before the recent episodes of financial turmoil, Latin American economies had already proven vulnerable to ...
