Income elasticity dynamics of health expenditure is considered for the OECD and the Eurozone over the period 1995-2014. This paper studies a novel non-linear cointegration model with fixed effects, controlling for cross-section dependence and unobserved heterogeneity. Most importantly, its...

We consider a setting where market microstructure noise is a parametric function of trading information, possibly with a remaining noise component. Assuming that the remaining noise is $O_p(1/\sqrt{n})$, allowing irregular times and jumps, we show that we can estimate the parameters at rate $n$,...

Considerable intellectual progress has been made to the development of various semiparametric varying-coefficient models over the past ten to fifteen years. An important advantage of these models is that they avoid much of the curse of dimensionality problem as the nonparametric functions are...
