Modelling and forecasting stock returns: exploiting the futures market, regim...
This paper proposes a vector equilibrium correction model of stock returns that exploits the information in the futures market, while allowing for both regime-switching... -
Valuation ratios and long-horizon stock price predictability (replication data)
Using annual data for 1872-1997, this paper re-examines the predictability of real stock prices based on price-dividend and price-earnings ratios. In line with the extant... -
Parametric pricing of higher order moments in S&P500 options (replication...
A general parametric framework based on the generalized Student t-distribution is developed for pricing S&P500 options. Higher order moments in stock returns as well as... -
Replication of the results in learning about heterogeneity in returns to scho...
A recent article (Koop and Tobias, 2004) proposes a direct way to characterize the extent of heterogeneity in returns to education. They investigate the adequacy of several... -
Poverty comparisons with dependent samples (replication data)
Standard inference procedures for poverty comparisons require samples to be independent. For many commonly used income samples, however, this requirement is not fulfilled since... -
Selection correction and sensitivity analysis for ordered treatment effect on...
In estimating the effect of an ordered treatment effect on a count response y with an observational data where τ is self-selected (not randomized), observed variables x and... -
A microeconometric evaluation of rehabilitation of long-term sickness in Swed...
In this study the effects of various types of rehabilitation programmes on labour market outcomes are estimated. A main feature of this study is that it jointly evaluates... -
Projection pursuit regression and disaggregate productivity effects: the case...
Productivity of blast furnaces in India is studied by disaggregating the production process and the utilization process. A dimension-reducing nonparametric approach-projection... -
Long-run monetary neutrality and long-horizon regressions (replication data)
A prominent test of long-run monetary neutrality (LRMN) involves regressing long-horizon output growth on long-horizon money growth. We obtain limited support for LRMN with this... -
Health insurance and savings over the life cycle—a semiparametric smooth coef...
Individuals save for future uncertain health care expenses. This is less efficient than pooling health risk through insurance. The provision of comprehensive health insurance... -
Why were changes in the federal funds rate smaller in the 1990s? (replication...
We identify two major changes in the dynamics of the federal funds rate in the 1990s. We model the desired rate in a two-regime setting, one when the Fed makes no change and the... -
A finite-sample hierarchical analysis of wage variation across public high sc...
Using data from both the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) and High School and Beyond (HSB), we investigate if public high schools differ in the production of... -
Party loyalty as habit formation (replication data)
In most democracies, at least two out of any three individuals vote for the same party in sequential elections. This paper presents a model in which vote-persistence is partly... -
On detrending and cyclical asymmetry (replication data)
This paper considers the issue of testing for symmetry of the business cycle. It is demonstrated that findings of symmetry should be interpreted with caution since tests tend to... -
Estimation of sons' intergenerational earnings mobility in the presence of ce...
Based on intergenerational data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, I provide estimates of income mobility across generations for men. Special attention is paid to issues... -
Identification and estimation of a class of household production models (repl...
We consider a class of household production models characterized by a dichotomy property. In these models the amount of time spent on household production does not depend on the... -
Crack spread hedging: accounting for time-varying volatility spillovers in th...
Crude oil, heating oil, and unleaded gasoline futures contracts are simultaneously analysed for their effectiveness in reducing price volatility for an energy trader. A... -
A structural model of US aggregate job flows (replication data)
This paper contributes to the analysis of jobs flows dynamics through the explicit modelling of job creations and job destructions. We propose a simple matching model extended... -
Learning and communication in sender-receiver games: an econometric investiga...
This paper compares stimulus response (SR) and belief-based learning (BBL) using data from experiments with sender-receiver games. The environment, extensive form games played... -
The relation between wealth and labour market transitions: an empirical study...
We study the relationship between wealth and labour market transitions. A lifecycle model, in which individuals are faced by uncertainty about the availability of jobs, serves...
