Forecasting with Medium and Large Bayesian VARS (replication data)
This paper is motivated by the recent interest in the use of Bayesian VARs for forecasting, even in cases where the number of dependent variables is large. In such cases factor... -
Estimation of sample selection models with spatial dependence (replication data)
We consider the estimation of a sample selection model that exhibits spatial autoregressive errors (SAE). Our methodology is motivated by a two-step strategy where in the first... -
Continuous-time models, realized volatilities, and testable distributional im...
We provide an empirical framework for assessing the distributional properties of daily speculative returns within the context of the continuous-time jump diffusion models... -
Is gravity linear? (replication data)
Despite the solid theoretical foundation on which the gravity model of bilateral trade is based, empirical implementation requires several assumptions which do not follow... -
Gravity models of intra-EU trade: application of the CCEP-HT estimation in he...
We follow recent developments of panel data studies and allow for the existence of both observed and unobserved common factors where their individual responses are allowed to be... -
Evaluating the impacts of Washington state repeated job search services on th...
This paper uses an unbalanced panel dataset to evaluate how repeated job search services (JSS) and other personal characteristics affect the quarterly earnings of the prime-age... -
Panel unit root tests and spatial dependence (replication data)
This paper studies the performance of panel unit root tests when spatial effects are present that account for cross-section correlation. Monte Carlo simulations show that there... -
Retesting Fair's (1978) model on infidelity (replication data)
Modern econometrics stresses the diagnostic testing of estimated models as an important part of the model-building process. In a survey article published in this journal (Pagan... -
A rational rank four demand system (replication data)
Past parametric tests of demand system rank employed polynomial Engel curve systems. However, by Gorman's (1981) theorem, the maximum possible rank of a utility-derived... -
Time-varying intercepts and equilibrium analysis: an extension of the dynamic...
Demographic effects and user costs in demand systems have usually been modelled explicitly. A more robust approach is a state space formulation of the demand system, where... -
Testing Investment Forecast Efficiency with Forecasting Narratives
I analyze the narratives that accompany business cycle forecasting reports of three German institutes using topic models. To this end, I gather multiple similar topics into... -
The Nonlinear Dynamics of Corporate Bond Spreads: Regime-Dependent Effects of...
This paper studies the behavior of corporate bond spreads during different market regimes between 2004 and 2016. Applying a Markov-switching vector autoregressive (MS-VAR)... -
Data for 37 Brazilian banks
In data envelopment analysis, returns to scale (RTS) are a widely accepted instrument for a company to reveal its activity scaling potentials. In the case of increasing returns... -
Projecting the Spread of COVID19 for Germany
We model the evolution of the number of individuals reported sick with COVID-19 in Germany. Our theoretical framework builds on a continuous time Markov chain with four states:... -
The Evolution of Immigrants' Homeownership in Germany (replication data)
Recently, the homeownership rate of immigrants in Germany has increased by more than 20 percentage points. To shed light on this sharp rise, this paper investigates the driving... -
Public Investment Subsidies and Firm Performance – Evidence from Germany – re...
This paper assesses firm-level effects of the single largest investment subsidy programme in Germany. The analysis considers grants allocated to firms in East German regions... -
The incidence of agricultural subsidies on rental rates for grassland (replic...
This paper examines the impact of agricultural subsidies on rental rates for grassland. In theory, the capitalization of subsidies into grassland rents has become increasingly... -
Active on many foreign markets (replication code)
These are the do-files used to compute the results reported in: Joachim Wagner, Active on many foreign markets: A portrait of German multi-market exporters and importers from... -
Matching as non-parametric preprocessing for the estimation of equivalence sc...
Empirically analyzing household behavior usually relies on informal data preprocessing. That is, before the estimation, observations are preselected to obtain a sufficiently... -
Does Social Media Increase Labour Productivity?
Social media applications such as wikis, blogs or social networks are being increasingly applied in firms. These applications can be used for external communication and internal...
