Causal ordering and ‘The bank lending channel’ (replication data)
The bank lending channel implies the Federal Reserve can influence real income by controlling the level of intermediated loans. Using the notion of causality developed by Simon... -
A general dependence test and applications (replication data)
We describe a test, based on the correlation integral, for the independence of a variable and a vector that can be used with serially dependent data. Monte Carlo simulations... -
Excess capacity: a permanent characteristic of US airlines? (replication data)
This paper examines the permanence of excess capacity in the US airline industry. To avoid the problems with the standard engineering measure of capacity utilization, load... -
Intrahousehold resource allocation in rural Pakistan: a semiparametric analys...
We estimate semiparametric Engel curves for rural Pakistan using a large household survey. This allows us to obtain consistent estimates of the effects of household size and... -
Robustness tests of the augmented Solow model (replication data)
This paper demonstrates some techniques for testing the robustness of cross-section and panel data regressions, and applies them to the influential augmented Solow growth model.... -
An analysis of technology, productivity, and regulatory distortion in the int...
The purpose of this paper is to provide the first comprehensive firm level analysis of cost structures and production in the interstate pipeline industry during the transition... -
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... -
Substitution, risk aversion, taste shocks and equity premia (replication data)
This paper gauges the relative contribution of risk aversion, inter-temporal substitution and taste shocks on postwar monthly US equity premia. The time-varying consumption,... -
Identifying the source of dynamics in disaggregated import data (replication ...
This paper uses Kennan's (1988) model to separately identify supply-side and demand-side dynamics in US import data. Dynamics arise from both autocorrelated shocks to supply-... -
Unemployment persistence: does the size of the shock matter? (replication data)
One of the stylized facts of unemployment is that shifts in its mean rate between decades and half-decades account for most of its variance. In this paper, we use a statistical... -
Whose wages do unions raise? A dynamic model of unionism and wage rate determ...
We estimate the union premium for young men over a period of declining unionization (1980-87) through a procedure which identifies the alternative sources of the endogeneity of... -
Bayesian inference for periodic regime-switching models (replication data)
We present a general class of nonlinear time-series Markov regime-switching models for seasonal data which may exhibit periodic features in the hidden Markov process as well as... -
Testing non-nested semiparametric models: an application to Engel curves spec...
This paper proposes a test statistic for discriminating between two partly non-linear regression models whose parametric components are non-nested. The statistic has the form of... -
The conditional heteroscedasticity of the yen-dollar exchange rate (replicati...
This paper examines the conditional heteroscedasticity of the yen-dollar exchange rate. A model is constructed by extending the asymmetric power autoregressive conditional...
