An EMS target zone model in discrete time (replication data)
The discrete time analogue of the continuous time Krugman target zone model is developed in order to capture the typical volatility clusters and fat-tailed distributed... -
The dynamics of changes in the female wage distribution in the USA: a quantil...
This paper examines the female wage structure focusing on changes at different points in the wage distribution. Newly developed quantile regression methods are used in analysing... -
Modelling money demand in Germany (replication data)
In this paper an empirically stable money demand model for M3 in Germany is presented. The sample period 1975-94 includes German unification. It is shown that this development... -
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... -
PERMANENT AND TRANSITORY SHOCKS, AND THE UK BUSINESS CYCLE (replication data)
In this paper the business cycle properties of UK data are investigated using a VAR technique. A Real Business Cycle (RBC) model is formulated. The model includes both permanent... -
A PREDICTIVE APPROACH TO MODEL SELECTION AND MULTICOLLINEARITY (replication d...
We argue for the adoption of a predictive approach to model specification. Specifically, we derive the difference between means and the ratio of determinants of covariance... -
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... -
Robust tests of forward exchange market efficiency with empirical evidence fr...
This paper provides a robust statistical approach to testing the unbiasedness hypothesis in forward exchange market efficiency studies. The methods we use allow us to work... -
Parametric and semi-parametric modelling of vacation expenditures (replicatio...
We analyse several limited dependent variable models explaining the budget share that Dutch families spend on vacations. To take account of the substantial number of zero... -
Transient fads and the crash of ′87 (replication data)
Using a fad model with Markov-switching heteroscedasticity in both the fundamental and fad components (UC-MS model), this paper examines the possibility that the 1987 stock... -
Measurement of total factor productivity growth and biases in technological c...
This study investigates productivity growth in broad-acre agriculture in Western Australia. Tornqvist indices of three output groups (crops, sheep products and other) and five... -
Analysing inflation by the fractionally integrated ARFIMA-GARCH model (replic...
This paper considers the application of long-memory processes to describing inflation for ten countries. We implement a new procedure to obtain approximate maximum likelihood... -
Money stock targeting and money supply: A closer examination of the data (rep...
In a recent paper Mercenier and Sekkat (1988) use a linear-quadratic model to examine the willingness of a monetary authority in a small open economy to target its exchange... -
Cointegration tests of present value models with a time-varying discount fact...
The paper analyses the impact of persistence and volatility in the discount rate in present-value models on cointegration tests in levels and in logarithms. In simulations we... -
Separability test for the electricity supply industry (replication data)
This paper examines the vertical integration issue of the electricity industry. This industry is typically vertically integrated and heavily regulated. The paper investigates... -
Labour-use efficiency in Swedish social insurance offices (replication data)
This paper considers the estimation of frontier production functions in panel data models. It proposes a multi-stage method to obtain estimates of (1) the parameters of a... -
Efficiency in the provision of university teaching and research: An empirical...
A flexible three-output, two-input cost function model is used to examine the cost efficiency of UK universities as producers of teaching and research outputs. Unlike previous... -
Certificate-of-need regulation and the diffusion of innovations: A random coe...
In this paper, we examine empirically the effect that certificate-of-need regulation by state health planning organizations has had on the speed of diffusion of a relatively new... -
Nonnegativity constraints and intratemporal uncertainty in a multi-good life-...
In the standard multi-good life-cycle consumption model (with intertemporal additive utility) the intratemporal relations between the marginal utilities of the different goods... -
On the estimation of simultaneous-equations error-components models with an a...
An empirical balance of payments model involving the demand and supply of imports and exports for 31 developing countries is estimated utilizing panel data over 1964-1987. In...
