This paper investigates the presence of bubbles in the new housing market and resale housing market of four Canadian census metropolitan areas (CMAs): Vancouver, Toronto, Victoria and Hamilton, and whether the bubbles are contagious. The GSADF test developed by Phillips, Shi, and Yu (2015) is applied on a monthly price-to-rent ratio from January 1988 to December 2018 to date-stamp episodes of bubbles in these markets. Our results suggest that among the four CMAs, only the resale housing market of Victoria was exuberant, while for the new housing market, both Victoria and Vancouver experienced exuberance. Subsequently, using a non-parametric model with time-varying coefficients performed by Greenaway-McGrevy and Phillips (2016), we find the evidence of bubbles migration from the new housing and resale housing markets within and between these CMAs.
本文研究了加拿大四个人口普查都市区(CMAs):温哥华、多伦多、维多利亚和汉密尔顿的新房市场和二手房市场的泡沫存在情况,以及泡沫是否具有传染性。Phillips、Shi和Yu(2015)开发的GSADF检验应用于1988年1月至2018年12月的月售租比,以确定这些市场泡沫的日期戳。我们的研究结果表明,在四个cma中,只有维多利亚的二手房市场是繁荣的,而对于新房市场,维多利亚和温哥华都经历了繁荣。随后,使用Greenaway-McGrevy和Phillips(2016)执行的具有时变系数的非参数模型,我们发现了泡沫从这些cma内部和之间的新住房和转售住房市场迁移的证据。

Evaluating the impact of 20 hours free early childhood education on mothers’ labour force participation and earnings 评估20小时免费幼儿教育对母亲劳动力参与和收入的影响

New Zealand introduced a substantial childcare subsidy just over a decade ago, providing 20 hours free early childhood education (ECE) to all three- and four-year-olds. We evaluate the impact of this policy shift on mothers’ labour market participation and earnings. Using a difference-in-differences strategy and population-wide administrative panel data, we follow mothers’ quarterly earnings from pre-pregnancy to six years post-childbirth. The estimated impact of the ECE reform varies depending on the number of children eligible. For mothers with one child, there is some evidence of a drop in labour market participation and earnings, which potentially indicates this group is using the savings in ECE expenditure, a gain in real income, to consume more non-work time. For mothers with two eligible children, there is an increase in labour market participation, potentially because these households find it more worthwhile to increase ECE consumption and return to work when there are two children who benefit from the policy.
新西兰在十多年前引入了大量的儿童保育补贴,为所有三岁和四岁的孩子提供20小时的免费幼儿教育(ECE)。我们评估了这一政策转变对母亲劳动力市场参与和收入的影响。我们采用差异中的差异策略和人口范围内的行政小组数据,跟踪母亲从孕前到分娩后6年的季度收入。欧洲经委会改革的估计影响视符合资格的儿童人数而定。对于只有一个孩子的母亲来说,有一些证据表明劳动力市场参与和收入下降,这可能表明这一群体正在利用欧洲经委会支出的节省,即实际收入的增加,来消耗更多的非工作时间。对于有两个符合条件的孩子的母亲来说,参与劳动力市场的人数有所增加,可能是因为这些家庭发现,当有两个孩子受益于该政策时,增加欧洲经委会消费和重返工作岗位更值得。

We analyse discrepancy in the trade data between China and New Zealand, where what China reports as its exports to New Zealand and what New Zealand reports as its imports from China reached an alarming level of US$2.5 billion in 2014. We investigate the roles that export-tax and import-tariff avoidance play in explaining this discrepancy. We find strong evidence of export-tax avoidance for China’s exports to New Zealand that explains 11–27% of the missing exports, equivalent to 3.9–8.8% of true export value. We find only weak evidence of import-tariff avoidance in either direction.
我们分析了中国和新西兰之间贸易数据的差异,2014年中国对新西兰的出口和新西兰从中国的进口达到了惊人的25亿美元。我们研究了出口税和进口关税规避在解释这一差异中的作用。我们发现强有力的证据表明,中国对新西兰的出口存在出口避税,这解释了11-27%的缺失出口,相当于真实出口价值的3.9-8.8%。我们只发现在任何方向上都存在进口关税规避的微弱证据。

We examine whether New Zealand home sellers are loss averse. Our empirical method is based on a large dataset of residential real estate transactions that exploits the most recent substantive housing downturn of 2007–2009. Consistent with loss aversion, we find that houses predicted to sell at a nominal loss realised a premium compared to houses predicted to sell at a nominal gain. We show how this finding causes house price indices to be ‘downward sticky’, preventing house price indices from falling by an additional two and a half percentage points during the downturn.
我们考察了新西兰的房屋卖家是否厌恶损失。我们的实证方法基于住宅房地产交易的大型数据集,该数据集利用了2007-2009年最近的实质性房地产衰退。与损失厌恶一致,我们发现,与预计以名义损失出售的房屋相比,预计以名义收益出售的房屋实现了溢价。我们展示了这一发现如何导致房价指数具有“向下粘性”,从而防止房价指数在经济低迷期间再下跌2.5个百分点。

The ‘disciplinary effect’ of the performance-based research fund process in New Zealand 新西兰基于绩效的研究基金程序的“学科效应”
Q3 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2020-05-03 DOI: 10.1080/00779954.2019.1636122

This paper examines how the research quality of academic disciplines within New Zealand universities has evolved since the Performance-based Research Fund (PBRF) began in 2003. It uses a database consisting of an anonymous ‘quality category’ (QC) for each person in the 2003 and 2012 assessment rounds. Individuals are assigned to nine discipline groups and the paper measures the distribution of researchers across disciplines within universities. There has been little change in the distribution and their concentration within and across universities. Exceptions are increases in the shares of medicine and agriculture, and a reduction in the share of education. Average Quality Scores are derived for each discipline. All groups substantially increased their scores. Transition matrices show that there are significant differences in the dynamics of disciplines during the PBRF process. Changes in the discipline composition of universities explains little of the proportional improvement of research quality among New Zealand universities.
本文考察了自2003年绩效研究基金(PBRF)成立以来,新西兰大学学术学科的研究质量是如何发展的。它使用了一个数据库,该数据库由2003年和2012年评估轮中每个人的匿名“质量类别”(QC)组成。个人被分为九个学科组,该论文衡量了大学各学科研究人员的分布情况。大学内部和大学之间的分布和集中度几乎没有变化。例外情况是医药和农业份额的增加,以及教育份额的减少。得出每个学科的平均质量分数。所有小组的得分都大幅提高。过渡矩阵表明,在PBRF过程中,学科的动力学存在显著差异。大学学科构成的变化几乎不能解释新西兰大学研究质量的比例提高。

This is the first paper to examine the role of the real estate sector and housing unaffordability in the determination of systemic risk. We measure the systemic risk of the UK by employing the method developed by Adrian and Brunnermeier [(2016). CoVaR. American Economic Review, 106(7), 1705–1741] and we explore both its cross-sectional and time series behaviour. Regarding the former, we show that when the real estate sector is under distress the tail risk of the entire financial system increases significantly. With respect to the latter, the findings of our dynamic model suggest that sustainable house prices positively contribute to the stability of the financial sector; whilst house price exuberance and rapid increases in housing unaffordability amplify systemic risk. Finally, we examine the conjecture that the banking sector comprises a transmission channel from the housing market to systemic risk. Our empirical results are in line with this argument and highlight the key role of housing unaffordability.
这是第一篇研究房地产部门和住房负担能力在确定系统性风险中的作用的论文。我们采用Adrian和Brunnermeier[(2016).CoVaR.American Economic Review,106(7),1705-1741]开发的方法来衡量英国的系统性风险,并探讨其横截面和时间序列行为。关于前者,我们发现,当房地产行业陷入困境时,整个金融系统的尾部风险会显著增加。关于后者,我们的动态模型的结果表明,可持续的房价对金融部门的稳定有积极贡献;而房价的繁荣和住房负担能力的快速增长则放大了系统性风险。最后,我们检验了银行业包括从住房市场到系统性风险的传导渠道的猜想。我们的实证结果与这一论点一致,并强调了住房负担不起的关键作用。

Male height and wellbeing in nineteenth century New Zealand: an analysis of the Boer War contingents 19世纪新西兰男性身高与幸福:对布尔战争特遣队的分析

We report on the heights and physical characteristics of New Zealand soldiers who served in the Second Boer War. Adult heights are widely used as evidence of the standard of living. The adult NZ-born soldiers had a mean height of over 68 in., which is tall for the period and consistent with NZ having a high standard of living at the turn of the twentieth century. To explore the implications of using self-reported ages, we match soldiers to their birth records to establish their true age. We document a tendency for young soldiers to over-state their age. When we use self-reported ages, the youngest adult cohort are a statistically significant 0.35 in. shorter than the base cohort. When we use true ages, they are a statistically insignificant 0.18 in. shorter. This suggests that greater care is needed in the use and interpretation of historical enlistment data for estimating adult heights.
我们报道在第二次布尔战争中服役的新西兰士兵的身高和身体特征。成人身高被广泛用作生活水平的证据。新西兰出生的成年士兵平均身高超过68英寸。这在当时是很高的,与新西兰在20世纪之交的高生活水平相一致。为了探索使用自我报告年龄的含义,我们将士兵与他们的出生记录相匹配,以确定他们的真实年龄。我们记录了年轻士兵夸大年龄的倾向。当我们使用自我报告的年龄时,最年轻的成年人队列在统计上显著为0.35。比基本队列短。当我们使用真实年龄时,它们在统计上是微不足道的0.18英寸。短。这表明,在使用和解释历史入伍数据来估计成人身高时需要更加小心。

ABSTRACT Through an appropriate choice of inflation objective – a real-exchange-rate-adjusted (REX) inflation target – the central bank can limit fluctuations in real economic activity which has become a cause of great concern in recent years in many small open economies. REX inflation targeting dominates CPI targeting from the standpoint of output gap stabilization. CPI inflation targeting dominates REX inflation targeting from the standpoint of stabilizing inflation, nominal interest rates and real exchange rates. These results help inform ongoing discussions of possible alternatives for the existing flexible inflation targeting framework.
摘要:通过适当选择通胀目标——实际汇率调整通胀目标——央行可以限制实际经济活动的波动,这已成为近年来许多小型开放经济体高度关注的问题。从产出缺口稳定的角度来看,REX通胀目标主导CPI目标。从稳定通胀、名义利率和实际汇率的角度来看,CPI通胀目标主导REX通胀目标。这些结果有助于为正在进行的关于现有灵活通胀目标框架的可能替代方案的讨论提供信息。

There is known to be substantial variation in the quality of individuals’ visual imagery, but little is known about the effects of this variation on student learning outcomes. This is of particular concern in subjects such as economics that involve extensive use of graphical or pictorial representations. We present the results of a study comparing the quality of visual imagery with undergraduate examination performance. The quality of visual imagery was significantly associated with overall examination performance, but this result was driven entirely by the associations for male participants. Among males, the association was significantly larger for graphical questions than for mathematical questions, and a high mathematical question grade was associated with a significantly smaller association between the quality of visual imagery and the graphical question grade. Poor visual imagery can impair performance in undergraduate economics, at least among male students.
众所周知,个体的视觉意象质量存在很大差异,但这种差异对学生学习成果的影响却知之甚少。这在涉及大量使用图形或图形表示的经济学等学科中尤其值得关注。我们提出了一项比较视觉图像质量与本科考试成绩的研究结果。视觉图像的质量与整体考试成绩显著相关,但这一结果完全是由男性参与者的关联所驱动的。在男性中,图形问题的关联明显大于数学问题,高数学问题等级与视觉图像质量和图形问题等级之间的关联明显较小。糟糕的视觉意象会影响经济学本科生的表现,至少在男生中是这样。

The quality of visual imagery was significantly associated with overall examination performance, but this result was driven entirely by the associations for male participants. Among males, the association was significantly larger for graphical questions than for mathematical questions, and a high mathematical question grade was associated with a significantly smaller association between the quality of visual imagery and the graphical question grade. Poor visual imagery can impair performance in undergraduate economics, at least among male students.","PeriodicalId":38921,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Economic Papers","volume":"54 1","pages":"127 - 137"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00779954.2019.1708433","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44618030","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT This paper analyses the role of resource allocation in New Zealand's productivity performance by applying a three-factor revenue productivity measure of within-industry misallocation to firm-level data. It finds that if all market distortions were eliminated, total factor productivity could increase by more than a third. However, resource allocation has improved somewhat over the 2000s due to improvements in the manufacturing and service sectors, while allocation has worsened in the primary and utilities sectors. This paper is the first to use a three-factor decomposition method to examine which distortions have contributed to changes in allocative efficiency over time. These decompositions show that the worsening resource allocation in the primary and utilities sectors mainly reflects increased distortions in the allocation of capital. The results also suggest that many small firms are larger than their optimal size given their low productivity levels, which is consistent with previous research showing a comparatively poor ‘up-or-out’ dynamic among New Zealand firms.
摘要本文通过将行业内错配的三因素收入生产率衡量方法应用于企业层面的数据,分析了资源配置在新西兰生产力绩效中的作用。研究发现,如果消除所有市场扭曲,全要素生产率可能会提高三分之一以上。然而,由于制造业和服务业的改善,资源分配在2000年代有所改善,而初级和公用事业部门的资源分配则有所恶化。本文首次使用三因素分解方法来检验哪些扭曲导致了配置效率随时间的变化。这些分解表明,初级和公用事业部门资源配置的恶化主要反映了资本配置的扭曲加剧。研究结果还表明,鉴于生产力水平较低,许多小公司的规模都超过了最佳规模,这与之前的研究一致,该研究显示新西兰公司的“向上或向外”动态相对较差。
