Isoelastic Elasticity of Substitution Production Functions
(2016-01)We generalize the normalized Constant Elasticity of Substitution (CES) production function by allowing the elasticity of substitution to vary isoelastically with (i) relative factor shares, (ii) marginal rates of substitution, ... -
On the limits of macroprudential policy
(2016-02)This paper studies how macroprudential policy tools can complement the interest rate-based monetary policy in achieving a selection of dual stabilization objectives. We show analytically in a canonical New Keynesian model ... -
Crisis, contagion and international policy spillovers under foreign ownership of banks
(2016-03)This paper checks how international spillovers of shocks and policies are modified when banks are foreign owned. To this end we build a two-country macroeconomic model with banking sectors that are owned by residents of ... -
Regional economic impact assessment with missing input-output data: a spatial econometrics approach for Poland
(2016-03)We propose a novel method of constructing multisector-multiregion input-output tables, based on the standard multisector tables and the tools of spatial econometrics. Voivodship-level (NUTS-2) and subregion-level data ... -
(Belief in) life after death impacts the utility of life before it - a difference in preferences or an artefact?
(2016-04)In most of the religions the preservation of own, God-given, life is obligatory. The time-trade-off method (TTO) forces to voluntarily forego life years. We verify if this is a problem for the religious and how it impacts ... -
Randomness or stock-flow: Which mechanism describes labour market matching in Poland?
(2016-04)I compare random, stock-flow and job queuing models to determine which mechanism prevails in the Polish labour market. I use monthly registered unemployment data for the period 1999 - 2013 and econometrically correct for ... -
Choosing from multiple alternatives in cost-effectiveness analysis with fuzzy willingness-to-pay/accept and uncertainty
(2016-04)Cost-effectiveness analysis of medical technologies requires valuing health, an uneasy task, as confirmed by variability of published estimates. Treating the willingness-to-pay/accept (WTP/WTA) as fuzzy seems an intuitive ... -
Efficiency in spatially disaggregated labour market matching
(2016-05)We analyse the efficiency in a labour market matching process. We contribute to the literature by comparing different spatial aggregation levels - NUTS-1 to NUTS-4 and analysing monthly and annual perspectives. We use data ... -
Estimating the membership function of the fuzzy willingness-to-pay/accept for health via Bayesian modelling
(2016-05)Determining how to trade off individual criteria is often not obvious, especially when attributes of very different nature are juxtaposed, e.g. health and money. The difficulty stems both from the lack of adequate market ... -
Spatial labour market matching
(2016-05)We analyse to what extent spatial interactions affect the labour market matching process. We apply spatial econometrics methods (including spatial panel Durbin model), which are rarely used in labour market matching analysis. ... -
The impact of firms' expectations & adjustments on the productivity cost of illness
(2016-05)Sickness-related absenteeism hinders firms' productivity and reduces output, an effect referred to as indirect cost (IC) and often included when assessing the burden of an illness or cost-effectiveness of a treatment. The ... -
Why may large economies suffer more at the zero lower bound?
(2016-06)This paper compares the consequences of hitting the zero lower bound in small open and large closed economies. I costruct a two-economy New Kenynesian model and calibrate it so that one economy is small and open and the ... -
Is Poland at risk of the zero lower bound?
(2016-07)In early 2015, the policy (open market operations) rate of Narodowy Bank Polski was reduced to an all-time low of 1.5%. At the same time, prices of consumer goods and services dropped by 1.5% in year-on-year terms. This ... -
Multiple unemployment spells duration in Poland
(2016-08)I study multiple unemployment spells. I refer to Poland, as this country experiences high incidence of the long-term unemployment and long mean incomplete unemployment duration. I estimate conditional risk set model for ... -
Value relevance of companies' financial statements in Poland
(2016-08)Paper presents three attempts to model the relationship between financial reports of the companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange and their market valuation. Main sections of the paper include: (1) overview of the ... -
Endogenous Labor Share Cycles: Theory and Evidence
(2016-09)Based on long US time series we document a range of empirical properties of the labor's share of GDP. We identify its substantial medium-to-long run, pro-cylical swings and show that most of its variance lies beyond ... -
When 0 + 1/3+1/3>2/3, but 0 + 0 +1/3 <1/3. How the median outcome impacts lottery valuation?
(2016-09)This paper presents the results of two experiments that exhibit monotonicity violations: some lotteries with three equally likely outcomes are valued more than a superior two-outcome lottery, while others are valued less ... -
Repeated moral hazard with costly self control
(2016-10)We consider a repeated principal-agent model, where a single agent exhibits problems of self control modelled using Gul and Pesendorfer (2001) type temptation preferences. In such a setting, for a parameterized strength ... -
An experiment on temptation and attitude towards paternalism
(2016-10)In this project we investigate experimentally the link between self-control and attitude towards paternalism in a principal-agent framework. This allows us to distinguish between models of costly self-control and models ... -
On uniqueness of time-consistent Markov policies for quasi-hyperbolic consumers under uncertainty
(2016-11)We give a set of sufficient conditions for uniqueness of a time-consistent Markov stationary consumption policy for a quasi-hyperbolic household under uncertainty. To the best of our knowledge, this uniqueness result is ...
