The Environmental Kuznets Curve, Cointegration and Nonlinearity (replication ...
This paper clarifies some conceptual shortcomings of the empirical environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) literature that arise because of the hitherto inadequate application of unit... -
On the Empirical Failure of Purchasing Power Parity Tests (replication data)
Empirical research on the validity of the purchasing power parity (PPP) condition is generally based on real exchange rates built using the consumer price index (CPI), but fails... -
Lag Order and Critical Values of the Augmented Dickey-Fuller Test: A Replicat...
This paper replicates Cheung and Lai (Journal of Business and Economic Studies 1995; 13(3): 277-280), who use response surface analysis to obtain approximate finite-sample... -
Purchasing Power Parity and the Taylor Rule (replication data)
It is well known that there is a large degree of uncertainty around Rogoff's consensus half-life of the real exchange rate. To obtain a more efficient estimator, we develop a... -
Estimating and Forecasting the Yield Curve Using A Markov Switching Dynamic N...
We estimate versions of the Nelson-Siegel model of the yield curve of US government bonds using a Markov switching latent variable model that allows for discrete changes in the... -
Commodity Price Volatility and the Sources of Growth (replication data)
This paper studies the impact of the growth and volatility of commodity terms of trade (CToT) on economic growth, total factor productivity, physical capital accumulation and... -
Monetary Policy Indeterminacy and Identification Failures in the U.S.: Result...
We propose a novel identification-robust test for the null hypothesis that an estimated New Keynesian model has a reduced form consistent with the unique stable solution against... -
Macroeconomic Effects of Precautionary Demand for Oil (replication data)
We evaluate the macroeconomic effects of shocks specific to the oil market, which mainly reflect fluctuations in precautionary demand for oil driven by uncertainty about future... -
Does Participation Increase Outcome Acceptance? Evidence from a Power-to-take...
It is often conjectured that participatory decision making may increase acceptance, especially of unfavorable decisions. The present paper tests this conjecture in a... -
Why We Should Use High Values for the Smoothing Parameter of the Hodrick-Pres...
The HP filter is the most popular filter for extracting the unobserved trend and cycle components from a time series. Many researchers consider the smoothing parameter λ = 1600...
