Even in the absence of technology transfer, international investment, research and development, and aggregate scale effects, trade affects economic growth through comparative advantage. Trade may raise the growth rate or leave it unchanged, depending on the patterns of comparative and absolute advantage. Trade in factors of production can effectively equalize technology even when technology transfer does not occur. Factor price equalization may hold, but the Stolper–Samuelson and Rybczynski theorems do not. The transition dynamics can be monotonic or oscillatory.}, number={1}, journal={INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC REVIEW}, author={Yenokyan, Karine and Seater, John J. and Arabshahi, Maryam}, year={2014}, month={Feb}, pages={223–254} } @article{dawson_seater_2013, title={Federal regulation and aggregate economic growth}, volume={18}, ISSN={["1381-4338"]}, DOI={10.1007/s10887-013-9088-y}, abstractNote={We introduce a new time series measure of the extent of federal regulation in the U.S. and use it to investigate the relationship between federal regulation and macroeconomic performance. We find that regulation has statistically and economically significant effects on aggregate output and the factors that produce it—total factor productivity (TFP), physical capital, and labor. Regulation has caused substantial reductions in the growth rates of both output and TFP and has had effects on the trends in capital and labor that vary over time in both sign and magnitude. Regulation also affects deviations about the trends in output and its factors of production, and the effects differ across dependent variables. Regulation changes the way output is produced by changing the mix of inputs. Changes in regulation offer a straightforward explanation for the productivity slowdown of the 1970s. Qualitatively and quantitatively, our results agree with those obtained from cross-section and panel measures of regulation using cross-country data.}, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC GROWTH}, author={Dawson, John W. and Seater, John J.}, year={2013}, month={Jun}, pages={137–177} } @article{seater_2013, title={Government debt, entitlements, and the economy}, journal={Routledge Handbook of Major Events in Economic History}, author={Seater, J.

The empirical results obtained do not appear to be in accord with the PIH. Instead, consumption's response to income innovations is found to be much weaker than that predicted by PIH; in particular, the response displays an asymmetric pattern in the sense that it is much stronger for negative than positive income innovations. We interpret this evidence of asymmetry as indicative of the presence of liquidity constraints in provincial households.

The model appears inapplicable over the full time periods covered by the NIPA data, which are the sample periods often used in the literature. The model does appear applicable, however, over long subsamples. The data also are inconsistent with separability assumptions routinely made in the literature. In particular, the main categories of consumption (nondurables, services, and durables) are not mutually separable.

We show that the financial sector has a unique optimal size relative to the size of the economy as a whole. Creating and maintaining this sector requires diversion of some physical capital from production of output to monitoring that production. However, the efficiency gain in output production brought about by monitoring warrants the diversion. It is also found that the optimal size of the financial sector is independent of the state of the economy and does not vary over the business cycle.}, number={6}, journal={JOURNAL OF BANKING & FINANCE}, author={Santomero, AM and Seater, JJ}, year={2000}, month={Jun}, pages={945–965} } @article{fleissig_gallant_seater_2000, title={Separability, aggregation, and Euler equation estimation}, volume={4}, ISSN={["1469-8056"]}, DOI={10.1017/S1365100500017077}, abstractNote={We derive a seminonparametric utility function containing the constant relative risk aversion (CRRA) function as a special case, and we estimate the associated Euler equations with U.S. consumption data.
