A Homogeneous Class of Linear Estimators and Stronger Aitken Estimator
We define a new class of linear estimators which includes as a subset all linear unbiased estimators. Subsequently, we establish Aitken estimator, the best linear unbiased estimator, further as the best in this larger class of linear estimators.
ASEAN-U.S. Trade in Information-Intensive Services: Policy Issues
We estimate a more complete model of the demand for and supply of hotel rooms and explore its implications for the exportability of a hotel room tax. The modelling of the demand for travel to Hawaii is expanded, taking into account not only the effect of a hotel room tax on the demand for hotel rooms by visitors subsequent to their arrival, but also its impact on the decision to visit Hawaii. Our results suggest that our earlier estimates of the elasticity of demand (in absolute terms) and supply for hotel rooms to be underestimated (1.0 vs. 1.5) and (2.0 vs. infinity), respectively. Taken together, the results suggest that hotel room taxes are fully exportable to tourists.

Telecommunications literature : A critical review of the economic, technological and public policy issues
This article reviews the literature of economic, technological and public policy issues regarding telecommunications. The author synthesizes the major economic insights into telecommunications by taking into account specified features of the subject matter and its associated scholarly literature. Particular weight is given to work that has helped to establish a suitable theoretical, methodological, empirical and policy framework and that suggests the most promising ways in which future research topics and techniques can build upon the results to date.
