Testing CAPM with a Large Number of Assets

Pesaran, M. Hashem - 2012

This paper is concerned with testing the time series implications of the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) due to Sharpe (1964) and Lintner (1965), when the number of securities, N, is large relative to the time dimension, T, of the return series. In the case of cross-sectionally correlated...

Testing Weak Cross-Sectional Dependence in Large Panels

Pesaran, M. Hashem - 2012

This paper considers testing the hypothesis that errors in a panel data model are weakly cross sectionally dependent, using the exponent of cross-sectional dependence α, introduced recently in Bailey, Kapetanios and Pesaran (2012). It is shown that the implicit null of the CD test depends on...

Diagnostic Tests of Cross Section Independence for Nonlinear Panel Data Models

Hsiao, Cheng; Pesaran, M. Hashem; Pick, Andreas - 2014

In this paper we discuss tests for residual cross section dependence in nonlinear panel data models. The tests are based on average pair-wise residual correlation coefficients. In nonlinear models, the definition of the residual is ambiguous and we consider two approaches: deviations of the...

Business Cycle Effects of Credit and Technology Shocks in a DSGE Model with Firm Defaults

Pesaran, M. Hashem - 2011

This paper proposes a theoretical framework to analyze the impacts of credit and technology shocks on business cycle dynamics, where firms rely on banks and households for capital financing. Firms are identical ex ante but differ ex post due to different realizations of firm specific technology...

Counterfactual Analysis in Macroeconometrics : An Empirical Investigation into the Effects of Quantitative Easing

Pesaran, M. Hashem - 2012

This paper is concerned with ex ante and ex post counterfactual analyses in the case of macroeconometric applications where a single unit is observed before and after a given policy intervention. It distinguishes between cases where the policy change affects the model's parameters and where it...

An Empirical Growth Model for Major Oil Exporters

Esfahani, Hadi Salehi - 2012

This paper develops a long-run growth model for a major oil exporting economy and derives conditions under which oil revenues are likely to have a lasting impact. This approach contrasts with the standard literature on the "Dutch disease" and the "resource curse", which primarily focuses on...
