On Laplacian and Signless Laplacian Permanental Polynomials of Some Well-known Graphs

The permanent of an $n \times n$ matrix $M = (m_{ij})$ is defined as $\mathrm{per}(M) = \sum_{σ\in S_n} \prod_{i=1}^n m_{i,σ(i)}$, where $S_n$ denotes the symmetric group on $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. The permanental polynomial of $M$, is defined by $ψ(M;x) = \mathrm{per}(xI_n - M)$. We study two fundamental variants: the Laplacian permanental polynomial $ψ(L(

Monetary Policy When Preferences Are Quasi‐Hyperbolic

Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, EarlyView.
Abstract We study discretionary monetary policy in an economy where economic agents have quasi‐hyperbolic discounting. We demonstrate that a benevolent central bank is able to keep inflation under control for a wide range of discount factors. If the central bank, however, does not adopt the household's time preferences and tries to discourage early ...

Harnessing Human Mobility Data for Applied Economic Research: Current Knowledge, Challenges, and Emerging Opportunities

Journal of Economic Surveys, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper reviews how large‐scale mobility data can enhance economic analyses, highlighting its contributions to understanding travel behavior, labor markets, social interactions, and health outcomes. We discuss its advantages over traditional mobility data sources, which include real‐time location information and fine spatial resolution ...

The Determinants of Negotiated Pharmaceutical Prices

The Journal of Industrial Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We focus on the determinants of pharmaceutical drug prices. Using data from the Brazilian pharmaceutical market, we find large variations in drug prices across buyers, drug classes, and time periods. Our estimation results provide evidence that transaction‐specific determinants between buyers and sellers (e.g., transaction volume, buyer's ...

Cluster Policy, Innovation, and Firm Productivity. An Econometric Assessment of the Flemish Spearhead Cluster Program

Journal of Regional Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Flemish government launched its Spearhead Cluster (SHC) policy in 2017. The aim is to boost strategic sectors by setting up cluster initiatives which coordinate collaborative R&D initiatives. In this paper, we analyze whether becoming a member of such a cluster initiative has an impact on the Total Factor Productivity (TFP) of the firm. We
