Sequential Monte Carlo Methods for Estimating Dynamic Microeconomic Models (r...
This paper develops estimators for dynamic microeconomic models with serially correlated unobserved state variables using sequential Monte Carlo methods to estimate the... -
A simple, flexible estimator for count and other ordered discrete data (repli...
This paper examines a flexible way to model empirically discrete data outcomes using hazard rate decompositions. It presents a general data-generating mechanism based on... -
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... -
Stock market expectations of Dutch households (replication data)
Despite its importance for the analysis of life-cycle behavior and, in particular, retirement planning, stock ownership by private households is poorly understood. Among other... -
Consumer price evaluations through choice experiments (replication data)
We collect experimental choice data and estimate preferences for mobile phones with a special focus on measuring consumer price evaluations when consumers face difficult choice... -
Assessing the performance of matching algorithms when selection into treatmen...
This paper investigates the method of matching regarding two crucial implementation choices: the distance measure and the type of algorithm. We implement optimal full matching a... -
A dynamic multinomial probit model for brand choice with different long-run a...
In this paper we propose a dynamic multinomial probit model in order to estimate the long-run and short- run effects of marketing mix variables on brand choice. The latent... -
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... -
Semiparametric estimation and consumer demand (replication data)
This paper considers the implementation of semiparametric methods in the empirical analysis of consumer demand. The application is to the estimation of the Engel curve... -
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... -
ECONOMIC INCENTIVES AND HOSPITALIZATION IN GERMANY (replication data)
The dramatically rising health expenditures have become a matter of prime concern. Using a rich panel dataset this paper contributes to this debate by investigating factors... -
COX REGRESSION WITH ALTERNATIVE CONCEPTS OF WAITING TIME: THE NEW ORLEANS YEL...
Event data can often be analysed using different concepts of waiting time. Our application offers three choices: calendar-time, age, and duration of residence in New Orleans. We... -
SIGN- AND VOLATILITY-SWITCHING ARCH MODELS: THEORY AND APPLICATIONS TO INTERN...
This paper develops two conditionally heteroscedastic models which allow an asymmetric reaction of the conditional volatility to the arrival of news. Such a reaction is induced... -
Comparing Fourier and translog specifications of multiproduct technology: Evi...
Selecting a functional form for a cost or profit function in applied production analysis is a crucial step in assessing the characteristics of a technology. The present study... -
Credit rationing and threshold effects in the relation between money and outp...
The possibility that the effect of monetary policy on output may depend on whether credit conditions are tight or loose can be expressed as a non-linearity in the relation... -
Regime switching as a test for exchange rate bubbles (replication data)
This paper develops a new test for speculative bubbles, which is applied to data for the Japanese yen, the German mark and the Canadian dollar exchange rates from 1977 to 1991.... -
Occupational pensions and job mobility in Britain: Estimation of a random-eff...
We analyse transitions between pensionable jobs, non-pensionable jobs, and other labour market states, using the 1988/9 UK Retirement Survey. We focus on the positive... -
Parametric and semi-parametric estimation of the binary response model of lab...
This paper compares the familiar probit model with three semiparametric estimators of binary response models in an application to labour market participation of married women.... -
Real-time pricing of electricity for residential customers: Econometric analy...
Under real-time pricing, a network operator sets the price level for a period according to a predefined scheme which depends on the state of demand and costs, and announces this... -
Modelling market fundamentals: A model of the aluminium market (replication d...
The standard approach to modelling primary commodity markets under rational expectations is to relate the commodity price to the production and consumption surprises (i.e. the...
