The impact of reserve prices on the perceived bias of expert appraisals of fi...
We examine whether expert appraisals provided to bidders before major art auctions are unbiased indicators of value. Despite a strong grounding in theory, this aspect of optimal... -
From market shares to consumer types: Duality in differentiated product deman...
A widely applied method for differentiated product demand estimation, introduced by Berry, Levinsohn and Pakes in 1995, is founded on matching observed and theoretical market... -
Dynamic stochastic copula models: estimation, inference and applications (rep...
We propose a new dynamic copula model in which the parameter characterizing dependence follows an autoregressive process. As this model class includes the Gaussian copula with... -
Estimation of sample selection models with spatial dependence (replication data)
We consider the estimation of a sample selection model that exhibits spatial autoregressive errors (SAE). Our methodology is motivated by a two-step strategy where in the first... -
Alternative technical efficiency measures: Skew, bias and scale (replication ...
In the fixed-effects stochastic frontier model an efficiency measure relative to the best firm in the sample is universally employed. This paper considers a new measure relative... -
GMM with many weak moment conditions: Replication and application of Newey an...
In a recent article Newey and Windmeijer (Generalized method of moments with many weak moment conditions. Econometrica 2009; 77(3): 687-719) propose a new variance estimator for... -
Trade creation and diversion revisited: Accounting for model uncertainty and ...
The effect of preferential trade agreements (PTAs) on trade flows is subject to model uncertainty stemming from the diverse and even contradictory effects suggested by the... -
Specification and testing of models estimated by quadrature (replication data)
This paper proposes a test to check the specification of models with unobserved individual effects integrated out by quadrature and also a simple way of increasing the... -
Productivity and efficiency dynamics in Indian banking: An input distance fun...
Banking technology is typically characterized by multiple inputs and multiple outputs that are associated with various attributes, such as different types of deposits, loans,...
