A seller wishes to sell an object to one of multiple bidders. The valuations of the bidders are privately known. We consider the joint design problem in which the seller can decide the accuracy by which bidders learn their valuation and to whom to sell at what price. We establish that optimal...

The use of equilibrium models in economics springs from the desire for parsimonious models of economic phenomena that take human reasoning into account. This approach has been the cornerstone of modern economic theory. We explain why this is so, extolling the virtues of equilibrium theory; then...

The asymptotic bias is found to be so large when incidental linear trends are … estimates when there is cross section dependence even in situations where N is very large.

Time series data are often well modelled by using the device of an autoregressive root that is local to unity. Unfortunately, the localizing parameter (c) is not consistently estimable using existing time series econometric techniques and the lack of a consistent estimator complicates inference....

This paper deals with cross section dependence, homogeneity restrictions and small sample bias issues in dynamic panel … regressions. To address the bias problem we develop a panel approach to median unbiased estimation that takes account of cross … section dependence. The new estimators given here considerably reduce the effects of bias and gain precision from estimating …

A simple regression approach to HAC and LRV estimation is suggested. The method exploits the fact that the quantities of interest relate to only one point of the spectrum (the origin). The new estimator is simply the explained sum of squares in a linear regression whose regressors are a set of...
