The cross-Euler equation approach to intertemporal substitution in import dem...
This paper addresses the empirical dilemma in identifying and estimating the parameters governing the intertemporal elasticity of substitution (IES) for import demand. We... -
A forecast comparison of volatility models: does anything beat a GARCH(1,1)? ...
We compare 330 ARCH-type models in terms of their ability to describe the conditional variance. The models are compared out-of-sample using DM?$ exchange rate data and IBM... -
Testing chaotic dynamics via Lyapunov exponents (replication data)
We propose a new test to detect chaotic dynamics, based on the stability of the largest Lyapunov exponent from different sample sizes. This test is applied to the data used in... -
Estimating dynamic equilibrium economies: linear versus nonlinear likelihood ...
This paper compares two methods for undertaking likelihood-based inference in dynamic equilibrium economies: a sequential Monte Carlo filter and the Kalman filter. The... -
Periodically expanding discounted debt: a threat to fiscal policy sustainabil...
This paper models the behaviour of discounted US debt using a Markov-switching time series model. The significance of modelling fiscal policy within this framework derives from... -
Semiparametric three-step estimation methods for simultaneous equation system...
This paper proposes a new method for estimating a structural model of labour supply in which hours of work depend on (log) wages and the wage rate is considered endogenous. The... -
Semiparametric Bayesian inference in multiple equation models (replication data)
This paper outlines an approach to Bayesian semiparametric regression in multiple equation models which can be used to carry out inference in seemingly unrelated regressions or... -
Nonparametric bounds on the returns to language skills (replication data)
This paper applies the theoretical literature on nonparametric bounds on treatment effects to the estimation of how limited English proficiency (LEP) affects wages and... -
A multi-level panel STAR model for US manufacturing sectors (replication data)
We introduce a multi-level smooth transition model for a panel of time series, which can be used to examine the presence of common nonlinear business cycle features across many... -
Distribution approximations for cointegration tests with stationary exogenous...
The distribution of a functional of two correlated vector-Brownian motions is approximated by a Gamma distribution. This functional represents the limiting distribution for... -
Testing the purchasing power parity through I(2) cointegration techniques (re...
This paper contributes to the empirical literature on the purchasing power parity (PPP) over the post-Bretton Woods period by providing a time-series based interpretation of the... -
Validating multiple structural change models-a case study (replication data)
In a recent article, Bai and Perron (2003, Journal of Applied Econometrics) present a comprehensive discussion of computational aspects of multiple structural change models... -
Markov switching causality and the money-output relationship (replication data)
The causal link between monetary variables and output is one of the most studied issues in macroeconomics. One puzzle from this literature is that the results of causality tests... -
Nonlinearity in the Fed's monetary policy rule (replication data)
This paper investigates the nature of nonlinearities in the monetary policy rule of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) using the flexible approach to nonlinear inference. We find that... -
Aggregate vs. disaggregate data analysis—a paradox in the estimation of a mon...
We use Japanese aggregate and disaggregate money demand data to show that conflicting inferences can arise. The aggregate data appears to support the contention that there was... -
Principal components at work: the empirical analysis of monetary policy with ...
The empirical analysis of monetary policy requires the construction of instruments for future expected inflation. Dynamic factor models have been applied rather successfully to... -
Inefficiency and heterogeneity in Turkish banking: 1990-2000 (replication data)
Recent studies have stressed the importance of privatization and openness to foreign competition for bank efficiency and economic growth. We study bank efficiency in Turkey, an... -
Semiparametric estimation of lifetime equivalence scales (replication data)
Pashardes (1991) and Banks et al. (1994) use parametric methods to estimate lifetime equivalence scales. Their approaches put parametric restrictions on the differences in... -
Counterfactual decomposition of changes in wage distributions using quantile ...
We propose a method to decompose the changes in the wage distribution over a period of time in several factors contributing to those changes. The method is based on the... -
Analysis of job-training effects on Korean women (replication data)
We analyse job-training effects on Korean women for the period January 1999 to March 2000, using a large data set of size about 52,000. We employ a number of estimation...
