## Abstract This paper presents new estimates of scale economies for US hospitals. We show that the common translog specification of hospital costs is a misspecification, and employ nonparametric, local linear estimation with both continuous and discrete covariates. A bootstrap method is used to pr
We investigate the probability distribution of the volatility return intervals ฯ for the Chinese stock market. We rescale both the probability distribution P q (ฯ ) and the volatility return intervals ฯ as P q (ฯ ) = 1/ฯ f (ฯ /ฯ ) to obtain a uniform scaling curve for different threshold value q. Th
