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... -
Bubbles and crises: Replicating the Anundsen et al. (2016) results (replicati...
This paper both narrowly and widely replicates the results of Anundsen et al. (Journal of Applied Econometrics, 2016, 31(7), 1291-1311). I am able to reproduce the same results... -
Mixed‐frequency models with moving‐average components (replication data)
Temporal aggregation in general introduces a moving-average (MA) component in the aggregated model. A similar feature emerges when not all but only a few variables are... -
Monetary policy, housing rents, and inflation dynamics (replication data)
In this paper we study the effect of monetary policy shocks on housing rents. Our main finding is that, in contrast to house prices, housing rents increase in response to... -
The demand for season of birth (replication data)
We study the determinants of season of birth for married women aged 20-45 in the USA, using birth certificate and Census data. We also elicit the willingness to pay for season... -
Testing for time variation in the natural rate of interest (replication data)
This paper replicates in a wider sense the unobserved components model of Laubach and Williams (Review of Economics and Statistics, 2003, 85, 1063-1070) to estimate the natural... -
Heterogeneity in risk aversion and risk sharing regressions (replication data)
Heterogeneity in risk attitudes, if not properly accounted for, may induce a bias on the income coefficient of standard consumption insurance regressions. We show that,... -
The response of asset prices to monetary policy shocks: Stronger than thought...
Standard macroeconomic theory predicts rapid responses of asset prices to monetary policy shocks. Small-scale vector autoregressions (VARs), however, often find sluggish and... -
How the baby boomers' retirement wave distorts model‐based output gap estimat...
This paper illustrates, based on an example, the importance of consistency between empirical measurement and the concept of variables in estimated macroeconomic models. Since... -
Exploiting tail shape biases to discriminate between stable and student t alt...
The nonnormal stable laws and Student t distributions are used to model the unconditional distribution of financial asset returns, as both models display heavy tails. The... -
Ancestry and development: New evidence (replication data)
We revisit the relationship between ancestral distance and barriers to the diffusion of development by replicating previous results with a new genomic dataset on human... -
Structural estimation of behavioral heterogeneity (replication data)
We develop a behavioral asset pricing model in which agents trade in a market with information friction. Profit-maximizing agents switch between trading strategies in response... -
Dynamic factor model with infinite‐dimensional factor space: Forecasting (rep...
The paper compares the pseudo real-time forecasting performance of three dynamic factor models: (i) the standard principal component model introduced by Stock and Watson in... -
What are the macroeconomic effects of high‐frequency uncertainty shocks? (rep...
This paper evaluates the effects of high-frequency uncertainty shocks on a set of low-frequency macroeconomic variables representative of the US economy. Rather than estimating... -
Spillovers among sovereign debt markets: Identification through absolute magn...
This paper studies spillovers among US and European sovereign yields. We employ absolute magnitude restrictions on the impact matrix to identify the countries that were the main... -
UK term structure decompositions at the zero lower bound (replication data)
This paper employs a zero lower bound (ZLB) consistent shadow-rate model to decompose UK nominal yields into expectation and term premium components. Compared to a standard... -
Credit Booms Gone Bust: Replication of Schularick and Taylor (AER 2012) (repl...
This paper replicates the results in Schularick and Taylor (American Economic Review 2012; 102(2): 1029-1061; ST hereafter). Specifically, I replicate ST's results in the narrow... -
Economic Transition and Growth: A Replication (replication data)
Phillips and Sul (Journal of Applied Econometrics 2009, 24, 1153-1185) provide an algorithm to identify convergence clubs in a dynamic factor model of economic transition and... -
Monetary Policy and Asset Prices: A Markov-Switching DSGE Approach (replicati...
This paper estimates a Markov-switching dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model by incorporating stock prices in monetary policy rules in order to identify the Federal... -
An Empirical Comparison Between the Synthetic Control Method and HSIAO<i>et a...
We compare two program evaluation methodologies: the synthetic control method and the panel data approach. We apply both methods to estimate the effect of the political and...
