ARDL bounds test for cointegration: Replicating the Pesaran et al. (2001) res...
This paper replicates the UK earnings equation using the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) modeling approach and the bounds test for cointegration by Pesaran et al. (Journal... -
Extremal connectedness of hedge funds (replication data)
We propose a dynamic measure of extremal connectedness tailored to the short reporting period and unbalanced nature of hedge funds data. Using multivariate extreme value... -
Oil prices, gasoline prices, and inflation expectations (replication data)
It has long been suspected, given the salience of gasoline prices, that fluctuations in gasoline prices shift households' 1-year inflation expectations. Assessing this view... -
Making text count: Economic forecasting using newspaper text (replication data)
This paper examines several ways to extract timely economic signals from newspaper text and shows that such information can materially improve forecasts of macroeconomic... -
How is machine learning useful for macroeconomic forecasting? (replication data)
We move beyond Is Machine Learning Useful for Macroeconomic Forecasting? by adding the how. The current forecasting literature has focused on matching specific variables and... -
Robust inference under time‐varying volatility: A real‐time evaluation of pro...
In many forecast evaluation applications, standard tests as well as tests allowing for time-variation in relative forecast ability build on... -
Generalized band spectrum estimation with an application to the New Keynesian...
This paper proposes a new method for estimating linear dynamic structural models. The proposed generalized band spectrum estimator (GBSE) generalizes band spectrum regression to... -
Nowcasting tail risk to economic activity at a weekly frequency (replication ...
This paper focuses on nowcasts of tail risk to GDP growth, with a potentially wide array of monthly and weekly information used to produce nowcasts on a weekly basis. We... -
Estimating household consumption insurance (replication data)
Blundell, Pistaferri, and Preston (American Economic Review, 2008, 98(5), 1887-1921) report an estimate of household consumption insurance with respect to permanent income... -
No‐arbitrage priors, drifting volatilities, and the term structure of interes...
We use a Bayesian vector autoregression with stochastic volatility to forecast government bond yields. We form the conjugate prior from a no-arbitrage affine term structure... -
Measurement of factor strength: Theory and practice (replication data)
This paper proposes an estimator of factor strength and establishes its consistency and asymptotic distribution. The estimator is based on the number of statistically... -
Predicting interest rates using shrinkage methods, real‐time diffusion indexe...
In the context of predicting the term structure of interest rates, we explore the marginal predictive content of real-time macroeconomic diffusion indexes extracted from a data... -
Multidimensional skills and the returns to schooling: Evidence from an intera...
This paper presents new evidence on returns to schooling based on an interactive fixed-effects framework that allows for multiple unobserved skills with potentially time-varying... -
Is deflation costly after all? The perils of erroneous historical classificat...
I estimate average economic activity during periods of inflation and deflation while accounting for measurement errors in 19th century prices. These measurement errors lead to... -
Family planning in a life‐cycle model with income risk (replication data)
Several US states have recently restricted the access to abortions. We study fertility intentions and how family planning and abortions are used as mechanisms to control... -
A distributional synthetic control method for policy evaluation (replication ...
We extend the synthetic control method to evaluate the distributional effects of policy intervention in the possible presence of poor matching. The counterfactuals (or... -
Model simplification and variable selection: A replication of the UK inflatio...
In this paper, we revisit the well-known UK inflation model by Hendry (Journal of Applied Econometrics, 2001, 16, 255-275. We replicate the results in a narrow sense using the... -
Should I stay or should I go? A latent threshold approach to large‐scale mixt...
We propose a straightforward algorithm to estimate large Bayesian time-varying parameter vector autoregressions with mixture innovation components for each coefficient in the... -
Does global inflation help forecast inflation in industrialized countries? (r...
Ciccarelli and Mojon (CM; Review of Economics and Statistics, 2010, 92(3), 524-535) propose an inflation forecasting model incorporating a global inflation factor and show that... -
Tests of asset pricing with time‐varying factor loads (replication data)
This paper proposes an empirical asset pricing test based on the homogeneity of the factor risk premia across risky assets. Factor loadings are considered to be dynamic and...
