Topic: Endogeneity (economics)


In the News (Thu 24 Dec 09)

  
  Endogenous - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Endogenous substances are those that originate from within an organism, tissue or cell [1].
In an economic model, an endogenous change is one that comes from inside the model and is explained by the model itself.
Endogenous processes are driven by the warmth which is produced in the core of the Earth by radioactivity and gravity.

 THE ROLE OF ETHICS IN ISLAMIC POLITICAL ECONOMY AND ISLAMIC ECONOMICS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
In received economic theory and Islamic economics, which we have shown emulates simply the mainstream economic doctrines with some Islamic ethical values introduced into these theories, ethics is a behavioural attribute that must be linked with both preference formation and the institutional as well social background under which such ethics are formed and pervaded.
Islamic Economics is then defined by the author as a study of ethical behaviour formed by the impact of the four axioms on the representative Muslim's relations with problems of economics.
These points are premised on the the principle of ethical endogeneity necessary for studying ethics in world systems (the economy being a subsystem); the Qur'anic epistemologically soundness of the work; the systemic viability of Naqvi's axioms; the methodology of analysis of the inherent mathematical models and of Naqvi's selection of his policy instruments.

 Schumpeter and the Endogeneity of Technology: Some American Perspectives
This slim but important and compelling book is required reading for anyone who (wrongly) believes that endogenous growth theory has successfully incorporated a theory of technological change, or who is interested in (correctly) understanding the historical process of technological change.
Second, the historical report cannot be purely economic; therefore it affords the best method for understanding how economic and non-economic facts are related to one another and how the various social sciences should be related to one another.
Economic forces shape the activities of industrial R&D labs as follows: "The role of industrial scientists and engineers is to improve the performance and reliability of those technologies and reduce costs, as well as to invent entirely new technologies.

 Field: Labor Economics
Researchers in the field of labor economics are fortunate to have available an abundance of high quality data with which to investigate research questions about the behavior of individuals and firms in labor markets.
Thomas A. Mroz is a Professor in the Department of Economics, a Fellow in the Carolina Population Center, and a member of the Steering Committee for the Institute for Research in Social Science at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
His general areas of research are labor economics and applied econometrics, with a particular interest in the study of life cycle labor supply and occupational choice decisions, the economic determinants of household formation and dissolution, and the study of educational investment and productivity.(home page)

 On the full endogeneity of high   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Since the supply of high-powered money is so obviously endogenous and demand-led under these conditions, this would explain why circuit authors paid little attention to it.
Renversez (1996: 475) for instance, claims that the functioning of the monetary system in an overdraft economy is “different from that achieved under the control of the central bank in the financial market economy.
It becomes obvious, once again, that high-powered money is a fully endogenous variable, while the overnight rate is the exogenous interest rate, determined by the target rate set by the Bank of Canada.

 SOAS: SED: Issue 1 No 1: Money supply endogeneity! Who is extra-terrestrial in economics anyway?
The endogeneity of money supply argument suggests that the CB does not exogenously determine the volume of credit money but the price at which it is supplied.
The central argument for the endogeneity of credit money is that banks are price setters and quantity takers in both their retail loan and deposit markets.
Money supply is endogenous but not merely because credit is demand determined but because all the other economic categories, (interest rates, deposits, velocity, exchange rates, prices, CB policies with its relative independence) are all endogenously determined.

 The Economics of Identity and the Endogeneity of Race
The Economics of Identity and the Endogeneity of Race
Economic and social theorists have modeled race and ethnicity as a form of personal identity produced in recognition of the costliness of adopting and maintaining a specific identity.
These models of racial and ethnic identity recognize that race and ethnicity is potentially endogenous because racial and ethnic identities are fluid.

This paper explores the relative attainment of home ownership of the two ethnic groups by estimating a series of tenure choice models and decomposing the difference in rates into "endowment" and "residual" effects.
Particular attention is given to the endogeneity of current income and wealth relative to the tenure choice decision, and to the methods for decomposing group mean differences.
It is shown that controlling for the endogeneity of income and wealth has a substantial impact on the tenure choice and decomposition results.

In Islamic political economy seen as the Shuratic world in the interactive phenomena of economics, society, institutions and the pertaining sciences and technology, the goals are manifest as follows (see diagram on homepage):
The endogeneity of the attributes and hence of knowledge flows is activated by the recreative dynamics of evolutionary epistemology.
Axiom of Responsibility: Responsibility as an axiom is used by Naqvi as another independent `basis' element of the spanning vector for the economic space.

 MARKETS ACCORDING TO THE PRINCIPLE OF ETHICAL ENDOGENEITY IN ISLAMIC ECONOMICS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Contrary to Smith’s invisible hands principle and the assumed post-hoc optimality of resource allocation where learning and knowledge cease at the points of optimum and equilibrium either in the midst of full or bounded information (rationality), markets in the Islamic order are ethically guided although not intervened unduly by institutions.
Thus by the idea of complementarity among factors and goods in the production menu we mean such a complementarity being realized by interactions, integration and creative evolution in the shuratic processes pertaining to a complex of participation among social agents, individuals, variables and their interrelations.
The true worth of the things exchanged, be these goods or services of factors, is based on their value as determined by use in exchange and by intrinsic value embedded in them.

 Policy Endogeneity and the Effects of Trade on the Environment Agricultural and Resource Economics Review - Find ...
This paper reviews recent work on the implications of endogenous policy for the effects of trade on the environment and the sustainability of renewable resource stocks.
A recognition that pollution policy is endogenous has had a major impact on the trade and environment literature and has reversed some of the previously established empirical findings.
For example, if agriculture is intensive in the use of pesticides, and if regulations restrict the amount of pesticide use per hectare of land, then if environmental policy is left unchanged, we might predict that trade liberalization that leads to an expansion of agriculture will increase water pollution because of increased pesticide use.

 PARC Forum | October 9, 2003
In the last decade of the twentieth century, economic theorists turned their attention to the possibility of modelling technological change as an endogenous variable.
The argument is that, in the course of the twentieth century, organizational changes took place that significantly increased the endogeneity of technological change, and did so more rapidly than was the case in other OECD countries.

 SSRN-The Endogeneity of Union Status: An Empirical Test by Gregory Duncan, Duane Leigh
An unsettled issue in the literature relating to the relative wage effect of unions is the appropriate treatment of union status in a wage determination model.
Using data for a sample of middle-aged white workers, we estimate the parameters of the union and nonunion wage equations with both procedures.
On the key question of the endogeneity of union status, the Hausman test decisively rejects the null hypothesis of exogeneity.

 Knox Abstract   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Estimation is complicated by the fact that whether or not a loan is secured is endogenous — there is unobserved, borrower-specific, time-varying risk that affects both the price a firm must pay to borrow and whether that firm borrows on a secured or unsecured basis.
I then lay out the econometric methods that would solve the endogeneity bias if a valid instrument could be found.
I find that the instrument I consider is not effective in reducing the endogeneity bias, despite its economic plausibility.

The paper presents a monetary policy model with an endogenous capital stock when a backward looking element in wage setting causes inflation persistence.
We analyse how the endogeneity of the capital stock changes the macroeconomic dynamics with which policy interacts and its implications for optimal policy and time inconsistency.
Capital endogeneity can also give rise to disinflation bias under discretion for some parameter values.

 The Endogeneity of the Natural Rate of Growth
As a side test of the endogeneity hypothesis, we also test for the direction of causality between national output and factor inputs for the same set of countries.
Our results support the idea that the natural rate of growth is responsive to the actual rate of growth and bring to the fore the importance of focusing on demand as well as supply for an understanding of growth rate differences between countries.

 EconPapers: Institutions and Economic Performance: Endogeneity and Parameter Heterogeneity
Abstract: The hallmark of the recent development and growth literature is a quest to identify institutions that explain a significant portion of the observed differences in living standards across countries.
Certainly it is important to know which institutions are lacking in these developing countries, but the analysis provides little evidence for us to know to what extend a common set of institutions actually matters in advanced and developing countries.
We find that a new set of instruments is necessary to control for endogeneity, but that a common set of economically important institutions does indeed exist among advanced and developing nations.
