Weighted-Average Least Squares Estimation of Generalized Linear Models
De Luca, Giuseppe - 2017
The weighted-average least squares (WALS) approach, introduced by Magnus et al. (2010) in the context of Gaussian linear models, has been shown to enjoy important advantages over other strictly Bayesian and strictly frequentist model averaging estimators when accounting for problems of...

The Political Economy of Imperialism, Decolonization, and Development
Gartzke, Erik; Rohner, Dominic - 2010
Nations have historically sought power and prosperity through control of physical space. In recent decades, however, territorial empire has largely ceased. Most states that can take and hold territory no longer appear eager to do so, while the weak are unable to expand. Have powerful countries...

Catch-Up Cycle : A General Equilibrium Framework
Liu, Peilin - 2015
Successful economic latecomers have certain stylized facts: an inverse U-shaped growth rate, high growth rates of per capita output with high capital returns, and rapid structural changes. In this paper, we document for the first time a catch-up cycle that successful latecomers likely...

Structural Change and the Kaldor Facts of Economic Growth
Foellmi, Reto; Zweimüller, Josef - 2021
We present a model in which two of the most important features of the long-run growth process are reconciled: the massive changes in the structure of production and employment; and the Kaldor facts of economic growth. We assume that households expand their consumption along a hierarchy of needs...

Demand-Driven Structural Change in Applied General Equilibrium Models
Roson, Roberto - 2017
This study analyzes the variations in industrial structure induced by income-sensitive patterns of final consumption, and how these changes can be captured by a multi-sector numerical model with a flexible demand system. We focus, in particular, on the estimation of parameters for an AIDADS (An...
