Accounting for the Political Uncertainty Factor (replication data)
We build our analysis upon previous work by Bloom et al. (Measuring the Effect of Political Uncertainty. Working Paper, Stanford University, 2012) and Baker et al. (Political... -
Replication of Grier, Henry, Olekalns and Shields (2004): the Asymmetric Effe...
In their influential work Grier et al.(The asymmetric effects of uncertainty on inflation and output growth. Journal of Applied Econometrics 2004; 19: 551-565) examine the... -
Panicca: Panic on Cross-Section Averages (replication data)
The cross-section average (CA) augmentation approach of Pesaran (A simple panel unit root test in presence of cross-section dependence. Journal of Applied Econometrics 2007; 22:... -
Estimating Health Demand for an Aging Population: A Flexible and Robust Bayes...
We analyse two frequently used measures of the demand for health-hospital visits and out-of-pocket health care expenditure-which have been analysed separately in the existing... -
Effect of Online Dating on Assortative Mating: Evidence from South Korea (rep...
Online dating services have increased in popularity around the world, but a lack of quality data hinders our understanding of their role in family formation. This paper studies... -
Modelling Hospital Admission and Length of Stay by Means of Generalised Count...
For a large heterogeneous group of patients, we analyse probabilities of hospital admission and distributional properties of lengths of hospital stay conditional on individual... -
Error Correction Testing in Panels with Common Stochastic Trends (replication...
This paper develops panel data tests for the null hypothesis of no error correction in a model with common stochastic trends. The asymptotic distributions of the new test... -
Forecasting with Bayesian Vector Autoregressions Estimated Using Professional...
We propose a Bayesian shrinkage approach for vector autoregressions (VARs) that uses short-term survey forecasts as an additional source of information about model parameters.... -
State Dependence and Stickiness of Sovereign Credit Ratings: Evidence from a ...
Using data from Moody's, we examine three sources of sovereign credit ratings persistence: true state dependence, spurious state dependence and serial error correlation.... -
Reassessing the Relative Power of the Yield Spread in Forecasting Recessions ...
In this paper, we replicate the main results of previous research showing that the use of the yield spread in a probit model can predict recessions better than the Survey of... -
Bayesian Fuzzy Regression Discontinuity Analysis and Returns to Compulsory Sc...
This paper is concerned with the use of a Bayesian approach to fuzzy regression discontinuity (RD) designs for understanding the returns to education. The discussion is... -
Daily House Price Indices: Construction, Modeling, and Longer-run Predictions...
We construct daily house price indices for 10 major US metropolitan areas. Our calculations are based on a comprehensive database of several million residential property... -
Exponent of Cross-Sectional Dependence: Estimation and Inference (replication...
This paper provides a characterisation of the degree of cross-sectional dependence in a two dimensional array, {xit,i = 1,2,...N;t = 1,2,...,T} in terms of the rate at which the... -
Determination of Long-run and Short-run Dynamics in EC-VARMA Models via Canon...
This article studies a simple, coherent approach for identifying and estimating error-correcting vector autoregressive moving average (EC-VARMA) models. Canonical correlation... -
Banking Overleveraging and Macro Instability: A Model and VSTAR Estimations-r...
Overleveraging of the banking sector has been considered one of the main causes of the 2007--09 financial crisis and the subsequent great recession. It was also of major concern...
