Article Prescribed Active Learning Increases Performance in Introductory Biology (2006)

We tested five course designs that varied in the structure of daily and weekly active-learning exercises in an attempt to lower the traditionally high failure rate in a gateway course for biology...
Freeman, Scott, Zink, Robert M.
We used a generalized parsimony model to estimate the phylogeny of 47 species in the avian subfamily Icterinae using restriction enzyme cleavage sites in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Deep branches in...

Equilibrium Income Inequality among Identical Agents.
The paper offers a theory of income differences in which income inequality exists and persists despite identical tastes and talents. Teams of unskilled labor supervised by schooled managers produce...
Phylogeographic population structure of Red-winged Blackbirds assessed by mitochondrial DNA
Ball, R. Martin, Freeman, Scott, James, Frances C., Bermingham, Eldredge, Avise, John C.
A continent-wide survey of restriction-site variation in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of the Red-winged Blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus) was conducted to assess the magnitude of phylogeographic...

The Payments System, Liquidity, and Rediscounting.
In an economy where fiat money serves both as a medium of exchange and the means by which debts are cleared, it is shown that nonoptimal equilibria of constrained liquidity may arise. Optimality may...
Money, Output, and the Nominal National Debt.
This paper presents a model of finitely lived rational agents in which unanticipated innovations in the stock of fiat money affect real variables. An unanticipated inflation reduces the real value of...

On the optimality of interest-bearing reserves in economies of overlapping generations

Econometrics
Monetary aggregates and output
Scott Freeman, Finn E. Kydland
This paper offers a general equilibrium model that explains how the observed correlations of money and output fluctuations may come about through endogenously determined fluctuations in the money...
Enforcement of Property Rights and Underdevelopment
Era Dabla-Norris, Scott Freeman
The authors formalize the role of legal infrastructure in economic development in a general-equilibrium model with endogenously determined property rights enforcement. The mutual importance of...
Endogenous Cycles and Growth with Indivisible Technological Developments
Scott Freeman, Dong-Pyo Hong, Dan Peled
When large, discrete technological improvements require the accumulation of research or infrastructural investment over time, growth paths display cyclical patterns even in the absence of any shocks....
Output declines may be caused or propagated through the payments system by shortages of the reserves required for the payment of factors of production. Appropriate open market purchases arwe shown...
Monetary Aggregates and Output
Scott Freeman, Finn E. Kydland
We ask whether the following observations may result from endogenously determined fluctuations in the money multiplier rather than a causal influence of money on output: (i) M1 is positively...
Inside Money, Output, and Causality.
Freeman, Scott, Huffman, Gregory W
The authors present an explicit general equilibrium model consistent with these observations: (1) innovations in the nominal money stock are positively correlated with and precede (" Granger-cause")...
Money and output: correlation or causality?
The correlation between changes in the nation's total supply of money and subsequent changes in real output has led some people to infer that policymakers, by changing the money supply, can stimulate...
Should bank reserves earn interest?
Scott Freeman, Joseph H. Haslag
This article examines the effects and desirability of paying interest on required reserves. Scott Freeman and Joseph Haslag demonstrate that a policy of paying interest on reserves can make everyone...

Monetary aggregates and output

The Optimality of Nominal Wage Contracts
Freeman, Scott, Tabellini, Guido
Why do we see nominal contracts in the presence of price level risk? To answer this question, this paper studies an overlapping generations model in which the equilibrium contract form is optimal,...
Redemption Costs and Interest Rates under the U.S. National Banking System.
Champ, Bruce, Freeman, Scott, Weber, Warren E
Interest rates under the U.S. National Banking System (1863-1914) appear to imply that banks failed to exploit an arbitrage opportunity for two reasons: yields on government bonds exceeded the tax...

The optimality of nominal contracts
Guido Tabellini, Scott Freeman
This paper presents a model in which agents choose to use money as a medium of exchange, a means of payment, and a unit of account. The paper defines conditions under which nominal contracts,...
On the Optimality of Interest-Bearing Reserves in Economies of Overlapping Generations.
Freeman, Scott, Haslag, Joseph H
Paying interest on required reserves is considered in an overlapping generations model in which the return to capital dominates the return to flat money. As Smith (1991) showed, financing interest on...

Banking as the Provision of Liquidity.
This article represents a model economy in which demand deposits represent the optimal financial intermediation. Because these demand deposits are backed in part by an illiquid asset, the in...
