Show moreThe monetary approach to the balance of payments provides a relatively new method of analyzing balance of payments difficulties. This thesis seeks to analyze the balance of payments disequilibria that has and continues to plague the Jamaican economy, by utilizing the "new" approach in its strictest form. A brief discussion on the history of the monetary approach is included in order to place balance of payments theory in perspective. The assumptions of the model are discussed within the confines of the small open economy and their relevance to Jamaica. An overview of the Jamaican economy establishes the need for balance of payments analysis. Evaluation of the adopted IMF's model with the use of Jamaican data concludes the monetary approach to be a useful method of analyzing Jamaica's balance of payments.

The first chapter provides an introduction. In Chapter Two, a balance of payments model which makes no distinction between traded and nontraded goods is examined under the fixed and flexible exchange rates. In Chapter Three, the definition of nontraded goods is given and the Dornbush model is analyzed in the case of demand shift from the traded goods to nontraded goods and the transfer payments to the foreign country. In Chapter Four, a balance of payments model with nontraded goods is examined under the fixed and flexible exchange rates. The fifth chapter summarizes the previous chapters and gives some conclusions.

Title: A LINEAR PROGRAMMING ANALYSIS OF A MANUFACTURING FIRM IN A LESS DEVELOPEDCOUNTRY.
Creator: GOMPF, JUAN FELIPE., Florida Atlantic University, Stronge, William B., College of Business, Department of Economics
Abstract/Description: The firm studied engages in the manufacture of metal products; the country is Colombia. The most striking characteristics discussed in Chapter one are the following: (a) the chronic shortage of capital in all its forms; (b) the shortage of skilled labor; (c) the small size and low sophistication of most markets. Linear Programming is an efficient scientific management tool, based on sound economic theory. Chapter two is devoted to the exploration of the theoretical background of Linear...

The most striking characteristics discussed in Chapter one are the following: (a) the chronic shortage of capital in all its forms; (b) the shortage of skilled labor; (c) the small size and low sophistication of most markets. Linear Programming is an efficient scientific management tool, based on sound economic theory. Chapter two is devoted to the exploration of the theoretical background of Linear Programming. Linear Programming is shown to be very useful in analyzing a firm as a system, considering a multitude of elements simultaneously. The model studied in Chapter three yields a wealth of information about adjustments to improve future performance despite being fundamentally a static model. It also provides an extremely useful tool to study the firm's adaptive behavior to environmental changes thus focusing on underdevelopment at the individual firm's level.

Title: KALMAN FILTER MODEL.
Creator: Agiakloglou, Christos N., Florida Atlantic University, Stronge, William B., College of Business, Department of Economics
Abstract/Description: This thesis demonstrates the theory and the application of the Kalman filter model, a model where the coefficients are not assumed to be constant over time but time-varying. This model is approached in two different ways. The first is the recursive approach and the second is the Mixed estimation approach. Both of these two approaches describe in different ways the original Kalman filter model. This thesis also contains an empirical application of the Kalman filter model, using real data from...

Title: IS THE PHILLIPS CURVE A UNICORN?.
Creator: Lee, Sanghyun Paul, Yuhn, Ky-Hyang, Florida Atlantic University, Department of Economics, College of Business
Abstract/Description: The new Keynesian wage Phillips curve (NKWPC) is derived from the standard new Keynesian Phillips curve (NKPC) that is examined and verified by many economists. The NKWPC model uses the structural wage equation to present the significant inverse relationship between wage inflation and the unemployment rate in the US economy with the significant assumption of a constant natural rate of unemployment.

Show moreThe new Keynesian wage Phillips curve (NKWPC) is derived from the standard new Keynesian Phillips curve (NKPC) that is examined and verified by many economists. The NKWPC model uses the structural wage equation to present the significant inverse relationship between wage inflation and the unemployment rate in the US economy with the significant assumption of a constant natural rate of unemployment. This study examines the NKWPC model using the generalized method of moments (GMM) and generalized autoregressive conditionally heteroskedastic-M (GARCH-M) to confirm the critical inverse relationship of the Phillips curve. In particular, this study tests the NKWPC separately targeting the official unemployment rate from Komlos (2019)’s real unemployment rate. The estimated results of this study support the NKWPC re-confirming a significant negative relationship between wage inflation and unemployment, using two different econometric techniques of GMM and GARCH-M. Moreover, it is apparent that they do not distinguish the official unemployment rate from the real unemployment rate. The Phillips curve is not just a unicorn, or rarity, in the economic world. It is a substantial indicator and still holds merit. This study yields to another lending support to the importance of the Phillips curve.

Title: INVESTMENT SPENDING IN THE UNITED STATES: AN ANALYSIS OF SOME ECONOMETRIC ISSUES.
Creator: SADIKU, CHRISTIANAH YEMISI., Florida Atlantic University, Stronge, William B., College of Business, Department of Economics
Abstract/Description: This thesis examines the determinants of that part of national gross fixed investment which is undertaken by the private sector. Any investment process is subject to a number of separate time lags,and as a result, lagged explanatory variables were used in this study to explain the past trends and the recent surge in capital spending.

The cashflow and q models distinguished themselves from other models as relatively accurate descriptive of investment spending. It should be noted, however, that the description of investment spending that appears to have worked well in the past does not have to work so well in the future because economic conditions change.

Show moreThis study analyzes the possible location for the proposed South Florida Regional Airport. The investigation is implemented through a simple gravity model, which employes population, tourism, and income distribution data along with a time-distance matrix to determine optimal airport location. Additional analysis is undertaken to determine the feasibility of a mass transit system providing access to the airport and possible market areas which would be serviced by the facility. While this study attempts to make no conclusions beyond the scope of the analysis presented, it does generate several important conclusions. First, that a site near Andytown, Florida, is superior to a site located near the Everglades National Park. Second, the facility if constructed at Andytown should be planned to service all of South Florida. Third, if the considerations for future growth and development are sufficient to warrant the selection of a more northernly location, the market potential and transit time for a site near Clewiston, Florida can be altered, by construction of a mass transit system, to put that site on a parity with the Andytown site.

Title: International shocks and interdependence: Cointegration results from the major equity markets.
Creator: Croce, Robert William., Florida Atlantic University, Yuhn, Ky-hyang, College of Business, Department of Economics
Abstract/Description: This study subjects the world's major stock markets to cointegration tests in an effort to respond to the common investigation that the major equity markets tend to move together with the U.S. market. The relationships between the United States and Canada, France, Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom will be investigated. Not only will the entire period of 1970-1991.3 be examined, but the pre-1987 crash and the post-1987 crash periods as well. In addition, the Chow test will be employed to...

In addition, the Chow test will be employed to probe for any structural change occurrence relating to the worldwide stock market crash of October 1987. Evidence of cointegration is found to exist vis-a-vis the U.S. with the U.K. and Germany for the entire period; however, since the crash, only the U.K. and Japan have exhibited equilibrium relations. Absolutely no cointegration was detected for Canada nor France with the U.S. market.

Title: Impacts of federal deficits on the real GNP: The AMRC model.
Creator: Uysal, Ali Enis., Florida Atlantic University, Cebula, Richard, College of Business, Department of Economics
Abstract/Description: The economy is a system of interrelated variables which must be studied as a whole. Lack of understanding of the interrelationship between economic agents may result in misleading information. Government transactions are the only controllable input to the system. It is essential, therefore, to examine the potential effects of budget deficits, and to implement necessary safeguards against these, if the goals of a society are to be achieved.

Show moreThe informal, underground or shadow economy is a significant, growing force throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, contributing to overall output, yet diminishing productivity, congesting public services, and depriving developing nations of potential fiscal revenues. This paper discusses the various definitions and methods of measurement of the informal sector, with the aim of showing the importance of collecting taxes in informal economies. Informal economy participants engage in tax evasion and avoidance of governmental regulations, therefore the implications of excessive tax burdens and onerous bureaucracy are studied, with a focus on their impact on GDP growth. Informal sector enterprises can greatly contribute to the official, recorded GDP measures if they have significant incentives to joining the formal sector. These incentives are presented and must be considered seriously by policymakers concerned with capturing additional tax revenues and improving economic growth in their nations.

Show moreThis thesis analyzes the impact of transnational corporate investment patterns in five Latin American economies: Mexico, Peru, Columbia, Venezuela, and Brazil. Two important theories attributed to the dependencia and neoconventional schools of thought are first described and then econometrically tested for the above countries. The basic framework for econometrically testing these theories consists of a model specifying the domestic and foreign determinants of domestic capital formation. Domestic determinants are formulated in terms of the 'accelerator' and loanable-funds theories of domestic investment behavior. Investment by multinational corporations is then added to the model to see if it makes any significant contribution towards indigenous investment. In order to take into account the lagged effects of multinational investment, an Almon lag estimation technique was adopted.

The work of Thomas Sargent in (Hall, 1982) and Phillip Cagan (1956) found a number of common features regarding the causes and the ending of hyperinflation in a number of European countries in the early 1920s and 1940s. They noted that vigorous monetary and fiscal measures were needed to finally end the rapid rise in prices. Second, there was a final jump in the money supply in the months after the rise of prices had ended. Third, the price level did not decline after inflation terminated. And fourth, in each case, the tax burden was increased (through an increase in taxes and a cut in government expenditures). The thesis found that the Brazilian hyperinflation displayed the characteristics previously found by Cagan and Sargent. Furthermore, the policies used to end the inflation and resulting impacts were very much in line with the experiences of the countries studied by Cagan and Sargent.

Most economists have supposed that a monetary system without a central bank will be subject to price instability and inflation. The Hong Kong situation suggests that this need not be the case. Hong Kong's unique combination of bank and government controlled monetary practice provides an alternative way to accomplish the kind of monetary control that is found in economies with a central bank, like that in the United States. However, Hong Kong's monetary system is not without certain problems which could be remedied by corrective legislation but will in all probability be fundamentally changed after 1997 when Hong Kong passes into the control of China.
