Almost unbiased estimation in simultaneous equations models with strong and/or weak instruments

Iglesias, Emma M.; Phillips, Garry D. A. - 2011 - This version: August 2011

We propose two simple bias reduction procedures that apply to estimators in a general static simultaneous equation model and which are valid under reatively weak distributional assumptions for the errors. Standard jackknife estimators, as applied to 2SLS, may not reduce the bias of the exogenous...

How many consumers are rational?

Hoderlein, Stefan - 2009

Rationality places strong restrictions on individual consumer behavior. This paper is concerned with assessing the validity of the integrability constraints imposed by standard utility maximization, arising in classical consumer demand analysis. More specifically, we characterize the testable...

Estimation and inference in large heterogenous panels with cross section dependence

Pesaran, M. Hashem - 2003

This paper presents a new approach to estimation and inference in panel data models with unobserved common factors possibly correlated with exogenously given individual-specific regressors and/or the observed common effects. The basic idea behind the proposed estimation procedure is to filter...

Unobservable, but unimportant? : the influence of personality traits (and other usually unobserved variables) for the estimation of treatment effects ; conference paper

Caliendo, Marco; Mahlstedt, Robert; Mitnik, Oscar A. - 2014 - Preliminary version, this draft: February 28, 2014

A large and highly used number of treatment effects estimators rely on the unconfoundedness assumption ("selection on observables") which is fundamentally non testable. When evaluating the effects of labor market policies, researchers need to observe both variables that affect treatment...

Heterogeneity, uncertainty and learning : semiparametric identification and estimation

Bunting, Jackson; Diegert, Paul; Maurel, Arnaud - 2025

types of unobservables: known heterogeneity, initially unknown heterogeneity that may be revealed over time, and transitory … standard assumption that unknown heterogeneity and uncertainty are normally distributed. We also show that, absent known … heterogeneity, the model is identified without making any distributional assumption. We then derive the asymptotic properties of a …

Testing for Money Illusion Hypothesis in Aggregate Consumption Function : Mixed Data Sampling Approach

Motegi, Kaiji - 2015

Testing for the money illusion hypothesis in aggregate consumption function generally involves a regression model that projects real consumption onto nominal disposable income and a consumer price index. Price data are usually available at a monthly level, but consumption and income data are...

Causality Analysis and Multivariate Autoregressive Modelling with an Application to Supermarket Sales Analysis

Caines, Peter - 2014

This paper describes a modelling methodology for multivariate stochastic processes. The concept of multiple causality is discussed and a procedure to detect multiple causality is suggested. The data of a major Canadian supermarket is analyzed and a multivariate autoregressive model for this...
