Identification and Estimation of Distributional Impacts of Interventions Usin...
This paper presents estimators of distributional impacts of interventions when selection to the program is based on observable characteristics. Distributional impacts are... -
Refining Stylized Facts from Factor Models of Inflation (replication data)
Factor models of disaggregate inflation indices suggest that sectoral shocks generate the bulk of sectoral inflation variance, but no persistence. Aggregate shocks, by contrast,... -
A Bayesian Semiparametric Competing Risk Model with Unobserved Heterogeneity ...
This paper generalizes existing econometric models for censored competing risks by introducing a new flexible specification based on a piecewise linear baseline hazard,... -
A TIP OF THE ICEBERG? THE PROBABILITY OF CATCHING CARTELS (replication data)
Reliable estimates of crime detection probabilities could help in designing better sanctions and improve our understanding of the efficiency of law enforcement. For cartels, we... -
Measuring consumer uncertainty about future inflation (replication data)
We introduce a survey-based measure of uncertainty about future inflation, asking consumers for density forecasts across inflation outcomes. Consumers are willing and able to... -
Measuring marketing-mix effects in the 32/64 bit video-game console market (r...
We investigate the short- and long-run effects of prices and software availability on the category-level diffusion of 32/64-bit video-game consoles in the USA. We adopt an... -
Robust inference concerning recent trends in US environmental quality (replic...
Understanding trends in environmental quality is important for individuals and policymakers. Typically, trends in environmental quality are determined solely through comparisons... -
Measurement of industry conduct with a latent structure (replication data)
Empirical industrial organization economists have long been concerned with measuring the degree of competition in markets and understanding its underlying determinants, but they... -
Poverty comparisons with dependent samples (replication data)
Standard inference procedures for poverty comparisons require samples to be independent. For many commonly used income samples, however, this requirement is not fulfilled since... -
Short-term monitoring of fiscal policy discipline (replication data)
Under the Maastricht Treaty and the Stability and Growth Pact (SGP), European Union (EU) Member States commit themselves to avoid excessive deficits over 3% of GDP and to pursue... -
Divergence in alternative Hicksian welfare measures: the case of revealed pre...
This paper investigates the divergence between the two Hicksian welfare measures of non-traded amenity improvement associated with housing. First, the Hicksian surplus measures... -
Stochastic frontier models with random coefficients (replication data)
The paper proposes a stochastic frontier model with random coefficients to separate technical inefficiency from technological differences across firms, and free the frontier... -
Measuring predictability: theory and macroeconomic applications (replication ...
We propose a measure of predictability based on the ratio of the expected loss of a short-run forecast to the expected loss of a long-run forecast. This predictability measure... -
Determining market power exertion between buyers and sellers (replication data)
Empirical techniques commonly used in industrial organization to measure market power exertion typically assume imperfectly competitive behaviour by firms on only one side of... -
STATISTICAL INFERENCE VIA BOOTSTRAPPING FOR MEASURES OF INEQUALITY (replicati...
In this paper we consider the use of bootstrap methods to compute interval estimates and perform hypothesis tests for decomposable measures of economic inequality. Two...
