A blocking and regularization approach to high-dimensional realized covarianc...
We introduce a blocking and regularization approach to estimate high-dimensional covariances using high-frequency data. Assets are first grouped according to liquidity. Using... -
Probabilistic forecasting of output growth, inflation and the balance of trad...
We apply a global vector autoregressive (GVAR) model to the analysis of inflation, output growth and global imbalances among a group of 33 countries (26 regions). We account for... -
The impact of data revisions on the robustness of growth determinants-a note ...
Ciccone and Jaroci-ski (American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics 2010; 2: 222-246) show that inference in Bayesian model averaging (BMA) can be highly sensitive to small data... -
An identification-robust test for time-varying parameters in the dynamics of ...
We test for the presence of time-varying parameters (TVP) in the long-run dynamics of energy prices for oil, natural gas and coal, within a standard class of mean-reverting... -
Modelling dependence using skew t copulas: Bayesian inference and application...
We construct a copula from the skew t distribution of Sahu et al. (2003). This copula can capture asymmetric and extreme dependence between variables, and is one of the few... -
Nonparametric estimation of the impact of taxes on female labor supply (repli...
This paper proposes a simple extension of nonparametric estimation methods for nonlinear budget-set models derived in Blomquist and Newey (2002) to censored dependent variables.... -
Revealing the preferences of the US Federal Reserve (replication data)
We use Bayesian methods to estimate changes in US post-war monetary policy in the Smets and Wouters model. We perform the estimations by allowing for a break in monetary policy... -
Improved instrumental variables estimation of simultaneous equations under co...
In this paper we develop estimation techniques and a specification test for the validity of instrumental variables allowing for conditionally heteroskedastic disturbances. We... -
Estimation of nonlinear models with mismeasured regressors using marginal inf...
We consider the estimation of nonlinear models with mismeasured explanatory variables, when information on the marginal distribution of the true values of these variables is... -
Modelling heterogeneity and dynamics in the volatility of individual wages (r...
This paper presents a model for the heterogeneity and dynamics of the conditional mean and conditional variance of individual wages. A bias-corrected likelihood approach, which... -
The impact of reserve prices on the perceived bias of expert appraisals of fi...
We examine whether expert appraisals provided to bidders before major art auctions are unbiased indicators of value. Despite a strong grounding in theory, this aspect of optimal... -
From market shares to consumer types: Duality in differentiated product deman...
A widely applied method for differentiated product demand estimation, introduced by Berry, Levinsohn and Pakes in 1995, is founded on matching observed and theoretical market... -
Dynamic stochastic copula models: estimation, inference and applications (rep...
We propose a new dynamic copula model in which the parameter characterizing dependence follows an autoregressive process. As this model class includes the Gaussian copula with... -
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... -
Alternative technical efficiency measures: Skew, bias and scale (replication ...
In the fixed-effects stochastic frontier model an efficiency measure relative to the best firm in the sample is universally employed. This paper considers a new measure relative... -
GMM with many weak moment conditions: Replication and application of Newey an...
In a recent article Newey and Windmeijer (Generalized method of moments with many weak moment conditions. Econometrica 2009; 77(3): 687-719) propose a new variance estimator for... -
Trade creation and diversion revisited: Accounting for model uncertainty and ...
The effect of preferential trade agreements (PTAs) on trade flows is subject to model uncertainty stemming from the diverse and even contradictory effects suggested by the... -
Specification and testing of models estimated by quadrature (replication data)
This paper proposes a test to check the specification of models with unobserved individual effects integrated out by quadrature and also a simple way of increasing the... -
Productivity and efficiency dynamics in Indian banking: An input distance fun...
Banking technology is typically characterized by multiple inputs and multiple outputs that are associated with various attributes, such as different types of deposits, loans,... -
Measuring the impact of nonignorability in panel data with non-monotone nonre...
The analysis of panel data with non-monotone nonresponse often relies on the critical and untestable assumption of ignorable missingness. It is important to assess the...
