Estimation and Inference for Threshold Effects in Panel Data Stochastic Frontier Models

Yelou, Clement; Larue, Bruno; Tran, Kien C. - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2007

One of the most enduring problems in cross-section or panel data models is heterogeneity among individual observations. Different approaches have been proposed to deal with this issue, but threshold regression models offer intuitively appealing econometric methods to account for heterogeneity....

Estimating the Costs of Revenue Deficiency Programs

Cooper, Joseph C. - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2007

This paper develops an approach to empirically demonstrate how the within-season distribution of U.S. domestic commodity support for corn differs between current-style approaches of support and revenue-based support. From a purely economic standpoint, the results show the revenue-based payment...

An application of the two-stage, semi-parametric approach with double bootstrap to analyze technical efficiency of Critical Access Hospitals

Nedelea, I. Cristian; Fannin, James Matthew - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2011

This study examines technical efficiency of Critical Access Hospitals (CAH) using a two-stage approach and bootstrap … second stage, efficiency scores are regressed on environmental variables using a truncated regression with bootstrap …. Alternatively, a double bootstrap procedure is used, where bias-corrected DEA efficiency scores, obtained by means of bootstrap in …

Macro Effects on Agricultural Prices in Different Time Horizons

Koo, Won W.; Cho, Guedae; Kim, MinKyoung - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2005

Using monthly data covering 1974:1 to 2002:12, this paper explores the linkage between changes in macroeconomic variables (real exchange rate and inflation rate) and changes in relative agricultural prices in different time horizons (1, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months). By controlling factors that...

Nonlinearities in the US corn-ethanol-oil price system

Serra, Teresa; Zilberman, David; Gil, Jose Maria; … - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2008

We use a smooth transition vector error correction model to assess price relationships within the US ethanol industry. Daily ethanol, corn and oil futures prices observed from mid-2005 to mid-2007 are used in the analysis. Results indicate the existence of an equilibrium relationship between...

DYNAMIC ANALYSIS WITH TIME SERIES MODELS: SIMULATION AND EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE

Robledo, Carlos W.; Zapata, Hector O. - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 1999

The performance of the FPE, AIC, HQ and SC criteria in choosing lag-length, and the effect on the impulse-response functions, are studied in a Monte Carlo simulation. The experiments include stationary, cointegrated, and mixed unit root VAR and MA cases.
