Testing for country heterogeneity in growth models using a finite mixture app...
We define a bivariate mixture model to test whether economic growth can be considered exogenous in the Solovian sense. For this purpose, the multivariate mixture approach... -
GRETL 1.6.0 and its numerical accuracy (replication data)

Bayesian inference for the gravity model (replication data)
This paper seeks to empirically extend the gravity model, which has been widely used to analyze volumes of trade between pairs of countries. We generalize the basic threshold... -
Efficient tests of long-run causation in trivariate VAR processes with a roll...
This paper develops a simple sequential multiple-horizon non-causation test strategy for trivariate VAR models (with one auxiliary variable). We apply the test strategy to a... -
The policy environment and relative price efficiency of Egyptian private sect...
We study the impact of policy and institutional constraints, and reforms undertaken to remedy them, on relative price efficiency and cost of the private manufacturing sector of... -
Identifying technically efficient fishing vessels: a non-empty, minimal subse...
Stochastic frontier models are often employed to estimate fishing vessel technical efficiency. Under certain assumptions, these models yield efficiency measures that are means... -
Small-sample bias in synthetic cohort models of labor supply (replication data)
This paper investigates small-sample biases in synthetic cohort models (repeated cross-sectional data grouped at the cohort and year level) in the context of a female labor... -
Money demand function estimation by nonlinear cointegration (replication data)
Conventionally, the money demand function is estimated using a regression of the logarithm of money demand on either the interest rate or the logarithm of the interest rate.... -
Nonparametric estimation of concave production technologies by entropic metho...
An econometric methodology is developed for nonparametric estimation of concave production technologies. The methodology, based on the principle of maximum likelihood, uses... -
Generalized long memory processes, failure of cointegration tests and exchang...
This paper presents evidence that the equilibrium relationship in a system of nominal exchange rates is best described as a stationary GARMA process. The implementation of the... -
Permanent vs transitory components and economic fundamentals (replication data)
Any non-stationary series can be decomposed into permanent (or trend) and transitory (or cycle) components. Typically some atheoretic pre-filtering procedure is applied to... -
Structural break threshold VARs for predicting US recessions using the spread...
This paper proposes a model to predict recessions that accounts for non-linearity and a structural break when the spread between long- and short-term interest rates is the... -
A joint model for the term structure of interest rates and the macroeconomy (...
We present and estimate a continuous time term structure model that incorporates observable macroeconomic variables and latent variables with a clear macroeconomic... -
Tests of seasonal integration and cointegration in multivariate unobserved co...
This paper considers tests of seasonal integration and cointegration for multivariate unobserved component models. First, the locally best invariant (LBI) test of the null... -
Estimating an economic model of crime using panel data from North Carolina (r...
This paper replicates the Cornwell and Trumbull (1994) estimation of a crime model using panel data on 90 counties in North Carolina over the period 1981-1987. While the Between... -
Estimating the effect of smoking on birth outcomes using a matched panel data...
Estimating the casual effect of smoking on birth outcomes is difficult since omitted (unobserved) variables are likely to be correlated with a mother's decision to smoke. While... -
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... -
Discrete choice modelling in airline network management (replication data)
The task of airline network management is to develop new flight schedule variants and evaluate them in terms of expected passenger demand and revenue. Given the industry's trend...
