What (Some of) My Colleagues Are Up To

There's plenty of empirical research going on in the Department of Economics at the University of Victoria, where I work. Readers of the blog get to read plenty about what I've been doing, but what about other empirical work by some of my colleagues?

The following is a small cross-section of some of the quantitative papers that have been produced recently in this department. I've limited myself to very papers that are readily available for downloading, so not all of my empirically oriented colleagues are represented here - sorry!.

• Chaban, M. & G. M. Voss, 2012 "National and Provincial Inflation in Canada: Experiences Under Inflation Targeting"
• Chen, W., J. A. Clarke & N. Roy, 2012, "Health and Wealth: Short Panel Granger Causality Tests for Developing Countries"
• Courty, P. & J. Sim, 2013, "Retaining and Attracting Top Academic Talent: Evidence from the Canadian Research Chair Program"
• Kumar, A. & W. Chen, 2013, "Education, Health and the Dynamics of Cross-Country Productivity Differences"
• Sun, B., C. Guo & G. C. van Kooten, 2013, "Weather Derivatives and Crop Insurance in China"

Some of these papers have been accepted for publication. The others will surely suffer the same fate!
