Here’s a paper I’m presenting to the Eastern Economic Association meeting this weekend.
Abstract. We simulate changes in financial integration between two countries in a stock-flow consistent model. Our model describes two economies that start from virtual autarky, with trade flows opening up gradually, until the countries reach full monetary union. By introducing measures of financial [...]
Read a selection of pieces from the TASC blog using their new digital reader, which is very cool. Yours truly makes an appearance, along with my colleagues Dónal Palcic, Peadar Kirby,
Here’s a presentation of a paper I’ve now spent 3 years writing, re-writing, editing, and tweaking. It was presented at the LSE on Friday, thanks to Adam Oliver for organising the event. I’ve blogged about this paper a few times, but this is the simplest summary I’ve come up with to date. Any comments/questions/suggestions would [...]

We ask: given this newly imposed institutional structure, does the availability of true marginal prices for electricity products affect the price/quantity bids submitted by market participants? First, we analyse the price movements within this market since 2007 to produce a model which best describes the data. [...]

Abstract. We model a macroeconomy with stock flow consistent national accounts built from the local interactions of heterogenous agents (households, firms, bankers, and a government) through product, labor, bond, and money markets in discrete time. We use this model to show that, without any restrictions on the type of interactions [...]
Abstract. This paper studies the age distribution of firms in Ireland from 1961 to 2009 using data on over 159,000 firms. I build a model which mixes a lognormal distribution of firm size with an exponential distribution of firm age to explain the evolution of these data. The model is fitted using maximum likelihood estimation, [...]

Given the increasing availability of bedside ultrasound in the Emergency Department (ED), a growing proportion of Emergency Physicians are [...]
Here’s a new paper with Dr David Ramsey, which we’ve submitted to a journal recently.
We develop a job search model based on two character measures. One measure describes the `attractiveness’ of an individual or position. It is assumed that preferences are common according to this measure: i.e. each employer prefers highly attractive job seekers and [...]
