Analysis of Hospital Production: An Output Index Approach (replication data)
In this study, we develop and implement an output index approach to the estimation of hospital cost functions that reflects the differentiated nature of hospital care. The... -
Regression Discontinuity Applications with Rounding Errors in the Running Var...
Many empirical applications of regression discontinuity (RD) models use a running variable that is rounded and hence discrete, e.g.?age in years, or birth weight in ounces. This... -
Missing in Asynchronicity: A Kalman-em Approach for Multivariate Realized Cov...
Motivated by the need for a positive-semidefinite estimator of multivariate realized covariance matrices, we model noisy and asynchronous ultra-high-frequency asset prices in a... -
A Bayesian Semiparametric Competing Risk Model with Unobserved Heterogeneity ...
This paper generalizes existing econometric models for censored competing risks by introducing a new flexible specification based on a piecewise linear baseline hazard,... -
Unraveling the Relationship Between Presidential Approval and the Economy: A ...
Empirical studies analyzing the determinants of US presidential popularity have delivered quite inconclusive results concerning the role of economic variables by assuming linear... -
Identification and Estimation of Engel Curves with Endogenous and Unobserved ...
When dealing with the estimation of Engel curves, measurement errors in expenditure data and simultaneity are likely sources of endogeneity. In this paper we study... -
Visual Attention and Attribute Attendance in Multi-Attribute Choice Experimen...
Decision strategies in multi-attribute choice experiments are investigated using eye-tracking. The visual attention towards, and attendance of, attributes is examined. Stated... -
Hedonic Housing Prices in Paris: An Unbalanced Spatial Lag Pseudo-Panel Model...
This paper estimates a hedonic housing model based on flats sold in the city of Paris over the period 1990-2003. This is done using maximum likelihood estimation, taking into...
