Risk Taking and Fiscal Smoothing with Sovereign Wealth Funds in Advanced Economies
(Journal article, 2019)In an economy with a sovereign wealth fund (SWF), the government may draw on the fund to supplement other government revenues. If the fund is invested in risky assets, this introduces a new stochastic element into the ... -

Spatial diffusion and spatial statistics: revisting Hägerstrand’s study of innovation diffusion.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Torsten Hägerstrand’s 1953 study of innovation diffusion [1] was pathbreaking in many ways. It was based on an explicit micro-model of information spread, and on Monte Carlo simulation of the hypothesised spatial process. ... -
Spillovers from US monetary policy: evidence from a time varying parameter global vector auto-regressive model
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The paper develops a global vector auto-regressive model with time varying parameters and stochastic volatility to analyse whether international spillovers of US monetary policy have changed over time. The model proposed ... -
Strictly for the birds? On ecosystem services of forage fish
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Small pelagic fish like sardine, anchovy and herring feed on zooplankton and are in turn prey for fish higher up in the food chain. They are therefore expected to play a vital role in transfer of energy between levels ... -

Tax-adjusted Discount Rates: a General Formula under Constant Leverage Ratios
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)Cooper and Nyborg (2008) derive a tax-adjusted discount rate formula under a constant proportion leverage policy, investor taxes and risky debt. However, their analysis assumes zero recovery in default. We extend their ... -
