Investigating stability and linearity of a German M1 money demand function (r...
Starting from a linear error correction model (ECM) the stability and linearity of a German M1 money demand function are investigated, applying smooth transition regression... -
Non-linearities in cross-country growth regressions: a semiparametric approac...
In this paper we employ an additive semiparametric partially linear model to uncover the way that initial output and schooling levels affect growth rates. Our results based on... -
Exchange rate target zone models: a Bayesian evaluation (replication data)
This paper develops a Bayesian approach to estimating exchange rate target zone models and rational expectations models in general. It also introduces a simultaneous-equation... -
Exchange rates and monetary fundamentals: what do we learn from long-horizon ...
The use of a new bootstrap method for small-sample inference in long-horizon regressions is illustrated by analysing the long-horizon predictability of four major exchange... -
Ethnic wage differences in Malaysia: parametric and semiparametric estimation...
Parametric and semiparametric estimated wage equations, which correct for sample selection bias, are used to assess the returns to eduction and extent of ethnic discrimination... -
A comparison of parametric and semiparametric estimates of the effect of spou...
Health insurance in the USA for most of the non-aged population is provided as a fringe benefit that is received by an adult family member as part of his or her compensation... -
Testing the predictive value of subjective labour supply data (replication data)
Empirical implementation of labour supply theories is usually based on actual hours of work. This requires strong assumptions on the impact of labour demand. To avoid these... -
Individual demands from household aggregates: time and age variation in the c...
This paper uses non-parametric regression with smoothness induced by imposition of a roughness penalty to estimate time-dependent relationships between age and intakes of... -
Semiparametric analysis of German East-West migration intentions: facts and t...
East-West migration in Germany peaked at the beginning of the 1990s although the average wage gap between Eastern and Western Germany continues to average about 25%. We analyse... -
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... -
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... -
Organization of the experiment (replication data)
This paper explains the organization of our experiment in applied econometrics, where participating teams had one year (1 July 1995 to 1 August 1996) to answer specific economic... -
Estimating time series models using the relevant cost function (replication d...
In many forecasting problems, the forecast cost function is used only in evaluating the forecasts; a second cost function is used in estimating the parameters in the model. In... -
Co-integration constraint and forecasting: An empirical examination (replicat...
Does co-integration help long-term forecasts? In this paper, we use simulation, real data sets, and multi-step-ahead post-sample forecasts to study this question. Based on the... -
Assessing forecast performance in a cointegrated system (replication data)
This paper examines the forecast performance of a cointegrated system relative to the forecast performance of a comparable VAR that fails to recognize that the system is... -
Stock market volatility and the business cycle (replication data)
This paper investigates the joint time series behavior of monthly stock returns and growth in industrial production. We find that stock returns are well characterized by... -
Can we improve the perceived quality of economic forecasts? (replication data)
A number of topics are discussed concerning how economic forecasts can be improved in quality or at least in presentation. These include the following: using 50% uncertainty... -
Intercept corrections and structural change (replication data)
Analyses of forecasting that assume a constant, time-invariant data generating process (DGP), and so implicitly rule out structural change or regime shifts in the economy,...
