Richard Ashley, Sheryl Ball, Catherine Eckel

In laboratory public goods experiments, subjects make decisions about how much of a fixed endowment to contribute to the production of a public good in a sequence of periods. The nature of subjects...

2003. Analysis of Public Goods Experiments Using Dynamic Panel Regression Models. Working Paper (2007)

Richard Ashley, Sheryl Ball, Catherine Eckel

Laboratory experiments on the provision of public goods follow each subject over time as he interacts with a small group of others, deciding in each period how much of an initial allocation to...

With Skewed Error Distributions: An Application To Housing Demand In The Presence Of Capital Gains Taxation (2007)

Richard Ashley, Russell Murphy, Djavad Salehi-isfahani, Aris Spanos, Zheng Yan, Zheng Yan

This paper examines the extent to which thin markets in conjunction with tax induced kinks in the budget constraint cause consumer demand to be skewed. To illustrate the principles I focus on the...

Different pieces of music offer different expressive possibilities. Even a single piece of music offers the possibility to be treated in several expressive ways (see “Repp (1998)”). How much of...

An Analysis Of U.s. Demand For Certain Steel Products From Canada And Mexico (2007)

Joseph Pickard State, Nancy A. Lutz, Richard Ashley, Joseph C. Pickard, Joseph C. Pickard

This empirical study uses stochastic coefficients econometric modeling to forecast real exchange rate volatility and examine how expected and unexpected volatility affect bilateral trade flows of...

GROWTH MAY BE GOOD FOR THE POOR, BUT DECLINE IS DISASTROUS: ON THE NON-ROBUSTNESS OF THE DOLLAR-KRAAY RESULT (2007)

Richard Ashley

The Dollar-Kraay result (that the income elasticity of the lowest quintile’s income is essentially one) is identified as a statistical artifact related to the irregular sampling intervals in their...

Quantifying Pepper Maggot (Diptera: Tephritidae) Oviposition and Infestation Over Time (2005)

T. Jude Boucher, Richard Ashley, Roger Adams Jr.

In 1998 and 1999, pepper maggot flies, Zonosemata electa (Say), were excluded from pepper plants with row covers for 0–6 wk after initial oviposition was detected. The proportion of oviposition...

Managing the Pepper Maggot (Diptera: Tephritidae) Using Perimeter Trap Cropping (2003)

T. Jude Boucher, Richard Ashley, Robert Durgy, Michael Sciabarrasi, William Calderwood

A perimeter trap crop barrier of hot cherry peppers, border-row insecticide applications, and a combination of the two management strategies were evaluated to see if they could protect a centrally...

Inflation Targeting in Developing Countries and Its Applicability to the Turkish (2002)

Economy Eser Tutar, David Orden Chair, Richard Ashley, Christiana Hilmer, Eser Tutar, Eser Tutar

Inflation targeting is a monetary policy regime, characterized by public announcement of official target ranges or quantitative targets for price level increases and by explicit acknowledgement that...

and (1997)

Tan Hui Boon, Richard Ashley

A simple technique for directly testing the parameters of a time series regression model for instability across frequencies is presented. The method can be easily implemented in the time domain, so...

Non-Nested Model Selection/Validation: Making Credible Postsample Inference Feasible (1995)

Richard Ashley

Effective, credible inference with respect to the postsample forecasting performance of time series models is widely held to be infeasible. Consequently, the model selection and Granger-causality...

A SIMPLE TEST FOR REGRESSION PARAMETER INSTABILITY (1984)

ASHLEY, RICHARD

The relative advantages of simple, exact tests over sophisticated but conservative tests are stressed and a simple diagnostic test to detect regression parameter instability is proposed. The test is...

Tan, Hui Boon, Ashley, Richard

A simple technique for directly testing the parameters of a time-series regression model for instability across frequencies is presented. The method can be implemented easily in the time domain, so...

Ashley, Richard

The Dollar-Kraay result (that the income elasticity of the lowest quintile's income is essentially one) is identified as a statistical artifact related to the irregular sampling intervals in their...

DETECTION AND MODELING OF REGRESSION PARAMETER VARIATION ACROSS FREQUENCIES

Tan, Hui Boon, Ashley, Richard

A New Bispectral Test for NonLinear Serial Dependence

Elena Rusticelli, Richard Ashley, Estela Bee Dagum, Douglas Patterson

Nonconstancy of the bispectrum of a time series has been taken as a measure of non-Gaussianity and nonlinear serial dependence in a stochastic process by Subba Rao and Gabr (1980) and by Hinich...

Frequency Dependence in Regression Model Coefficients: An Alternative Approach for Modeling Nonlinear Dynamic Relationships in Time Series

Richard Ashley, Randal Verbrugge

This article proposes a new class of nonlinear time series models in which one of the coefficients of an existing regression model is frequency dependent—that is, the relationship between the...
