Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education matters. As attending college, and more recently pursing a graduate education, become more common endeavours, research on how students transition though the secondary and post-secondary educational systems is both vital and informative for students and policy-makers. My research centers around these transitions in and out of educational institutions and examines how specialized pathways through the educational system impact education. Here, I present three empirical investigations that speak to the efficacy of these specialized pathways to educate our youth, aid in transitions in and out of post-secondary institutions, and support graduates in their pursuit of advanced degrees. The first essay evaluates the efficacy of competitive magnet schools, one of many specialized K-12 pathways offered by public schools. The second essay analyzes the impact of a major federal financial aid policy change on the specialized paths of graduate students pursing a master's degree and their borrowing decisions. The third essay characterizes specialized pathways related to major choice in the post-secondary transition from undergraduate studies to graduate studies.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation considers questions about the economics of resources exhibiting spatial-dynamic transition processes, specifically, invasive species and wildfires. These topics are increasingly important due to their large damage potentials and the increasing management budgets by governments, but the economics literature has only recently begun to incorporate both space and time into its analysis. The three essays in this manuscript tackle problems using empirics and numerical modelling in order to continue to expand the economic understanding of spatial-dynamic processes. The first chapter empirically analyzes the decision of land developers to build single family homes near lakes invaded with Eurasian watermilfoil, an aquatic invasive plant. A duration model of land conversion is utilized to discover the change in likelihood that a single-family housing unit will be developed after the arrival of Eurasian watermilfoil. The results show a significant decrease in the likelihood that both lakefront and near lake properties will be developed into homes following a Eurasian watermilfoil invasion. This is shown to have a sizable impact on the number of houses constructed near invaded lakes and suggests that uninvaded lakes are most likely being overdeveloped. The second chapter develops a spatial-dynamic model of the optimal control of a general invasive species which is actively spreading throughout a landscape. Along with explicitly allowing the invasion to spread over space, this model permits the population to grow in intensity as well. It is discovered that optimal intensities of invasion vary over space and that ignoring the natural heterogeneity in the landscape leads to suboptimal management decisions. The inefficiency of these decision is shown to increase as the heterogeneity in ecological carrying capacity increases. The model is then applied to the Asian cap invasion in the Mississippi River basin and shows that the current strategy of preventing Asian carp from entering the Great Lakes may be optimal. Overall, this project showcases the importance of recognizing spatial heterogeneity in ecological carrying capacities along with delivering strong evidence that control efforts need to be spatially targeted to most efficiently manage a spreading invasive species. Finally, the third chapter considers the fact that some spatial-dynamic processes, like wildfires, spread at different rates across landscapes that contain a variety of economically valued patches. Spread rates effect the costs of management, while the values of different properties influence the damages associated with a burn. This chapter incorporates these complexities into a spatial-dynamic model of optimal wildfire management and finds efficient solutions for controlling multifaceted fire scenarios. Suppression of wildfires is shown to be more likely in areas where the economic values are spatially clustered, thereby allowing a minimum amount of control to have the maximum benefit. It is also shown that spatial location with respect to the initial ignition location is important in determining optimal control strategies in heterogeneous spread scenarios.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first volume in a three-volume exposition of Shubik's vision of "mathematical institutional economics" explores a one-period approach to economic exchange with money, debt, and bankruptcy. This is the first volume in a three-volume exposition of Martin Shubik's vision of "mathematical institutional economics"--a term he coined in 1959 to describe the theoretical underpinnings needed for the construction of an economic dynamics. The goal is to develop a process-oriented theory of money and financial institutions that reconciles micro- and macroeconomics, using as a prime tool the theory of games in strategic and extensive form. The approach involves a search for minimal financial institutions that appear as a logical, technological, and institutional necessity, as part of the "rules of the game." Money and financial institutions are assumed to be the basic elements of the network that transmits the sociopolitical imperatives to the economy. Volume 1 deals with a one-period approach to economic exchange with money, debt, and bankruptcy. Volume 2 explores the new economic features that arise when we consider multi-period finite and infinite horizon economies. Volume 3 will consider the specific role of financial institutions and government, and formulate the economic financial control problem linking micro- and macroeconomics.

Book excerpt: In order to fulfil the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Economics and Finance, at the University of St. Gallen, after the completion of the course-work and research phases, I hereby to provide the cumulative dissertation. The dissertation consists of three essays on macroeconomic policy, development economics and economic growth. The first chapter examines empirically the relationship between the cyclical pattern of fiscal policy in democratic developing countries and their quality of political institutions. This chapter uses updated data to analyse 63 developing countries from 1980 to 2013 and robustly shows that pro-cyclical fiscal policy exist in both democratic and non-democratic developing countries. The main contributions of this chapter are controlling the endogeneity issue by using the instrumental variable method and investigating the interactions between political institutions variables and the cyclicality of fiscal policy. The results suggest that an improvement in the level of institutional quality plays an important role to restrain pro-cyclical fiscal policy. These effects are larger in democratic countries than non-democratic ones. Additionally, the maturity and stability of a democratic regime influence in restraining the implementation of pro-cyclical fiscal policy. The second chapter studies the effects of demographic transition and unfunded pension system in affecting the economic growth of Thailand. The chapter adds the aspect of the informal sector and investments in children's education into the Overlapping Generation (OLG) model. We modify the model to allow individuals heterogeneity in their ages and exogenously assign to work either in the formal or informal sector. The results from our model suggest that the non-contribution pension system or old-age security schemes hinder the economic growth of the economy with a high share of the informal sector and low fertility rate like Tha.
