Monetary policy analysis and inflation targeting in a small open economy: a V...
Empirical monetary policy research has increased in the last decade, possibly because deregulation and explicit monetary targets have made monetary policy issues more... -
The non-linear dynamics of output and unemployment in the U.S. (replication d...
This paper studies the joint dynamics of U.S. output and unemployment rate in a non-linear VAR model. The non-linearity is introduced through a feedback variable that... -
Gender, race, pay and promotion in the British nursing profession: estimation...
We analyse job grading within the UK National Health Service nursing profession, using 1994 survey data. We start from the ordered probit model, for which we develop and apply... -
The cost and technological structure of aluminium smelters worldwide (replica...
A cost model is developed for the estimation of several technological parameters describing the production process of aluminium smelters worldwide. The model is similar to... -
Incomplete information and the time series behaviour of consumption (replicat...
Pischke (1995) uses both microeconomic and macroeconomic US data to test the idea that, within an otherwise standard PIH framework, ignorance by agents of aggregate labour... -
An examination of the dynamic behaviour of local governments using GMM bootst...
Even though recent Monte Carlo evidence has shown that the use of bootstrap critical values, instead of asymptotic ones, improves the size of the tests substantially, empirical... -
Wage differentials across firms: an application of multilevel modelling (repl...
Multilevel modelling techniques are applied to a dataset that matches firms and workers, to pinpoint and explain contrasts among company wage policies. Results indicate that... -
Another look at Swedish business cycles, 1861-1988 (replication data)
The linearity of nine long Swedish macroeconomic time series, whose business cycle properties were discussed by Englund, Persson, and Svensson (1992), is tested and rejected for... -
Learning and decision costs in one-person games (replication data)
This paper reports the results of a two-part data analysis of learning in a repeated costly decision experiment. In the first part we test payoff dominance under the hypothesis... -
Estimating the discount rate policy reaction function of the monetary authori...
This paper estimates a policy rule that explains the sign and the magnitude of the Federal Reserve's (Fed's) discount rate changes. It sets out a two-sided Type II Tobit model... -
Applied econometrics rankings: 1989-1995 (replication data)
This paper ranks academic institutions by publication activity in applied econometrics over the period 1989-1995. Fourteen leading international journals that publish applied... -
Labour supply in Italy: an empirical analysis of joint household decisions, w...
This study applies an econometric framework which allows for complex non-convex budget sets, highly non-linear labour supply curves and imperfect markets with institutional... -
The age profile of mobility measures: an application to earnings in West Germ...
This paper develops a technique for estimating age-profiles of earnings mobility using conditional kernel density estimation and establishes their statistical properties. Both... -
Robustness tests of the augmented Solow model (replication data)
This paper demonstrates some techniques for testing the robustness of cross-section and panel data regressions, and applies them to the influential augmented Solow growth model.... -
An analysis of technology, productivity, and regulatory distortion in the int...
The purpose of this paper is to provide the first comprehensive firm level analysis of cost structures and production in the interstate pipeline industry during the transition... -
An empirical application of stochastic volatility models (replication data)
This paper studies the empirical performance of stochastic volatility models for twenty years of weekly exchange rate data for four major currencies. We concentrate on the... -
Growth and convergence in a multi-country empirical stochastic Solow model (r...
The paper considers international per capita output and its growth using a panel of data for 102 countries between 1960 and 1989. It sets out an explicitly stochastic Solow... -
Stochastic trends, deterministic trends, and business cycle turning points (r...
This study examines the relationship between specifications for long-run output patterns and specifications for business cycle dynamics. In an application to US GDP, it is found... -
Is there a unit root in the inflation rate? Evidence from sequential break an...
Using sequential trend break and panel data models, we investigate the unit root hypothesis for the inflation rates of thirteen OECD countries. With individual country tests, we... -
Testing for convergence: evidence from non-parametric multimodality tests (re...
In this paper, we test the convergence hypothesis in a cross-section of 119 countries by means of bootstrap multimodality tests and nonparametric density estimation techniques....
