This paper studies subsampling hypothesis tests for panel data that are possibly nonstationary, and cross-sectionally correlated and cross-sectionally cointegrated. The tests include panel unit root and cointegration tests as special cases. The number of cross-sectional units in the panel data...

Sickness incidence and recovery are likely to be affected not only by characteristics of individual workers, but also by the conditions under which they work. Large register data bases have been available for researchers in several countries for some years now, allowing detailed research on how...

(english) In spite of its predominant economic weight in developing countries, little is known about informal sector income dynamics vis-à-vis the formal sector. The few works using household surveys to tackle this issue, mainly consider some emerging countries. As a matter of consequence,...

(english) In spite of its predominant economic weight in developing countries, little is known about the informal sector earnings structure compared to that of the formal sector. Taking advantage of the rich VHLSS dataset in Vietnam, in particular its three wave panel data (2002, 2004, 2006), we...

Foreign Direct Investment has become an important source of long-term capital inflows for less developed countries in the last two decades. As documented in previous literature, FDI flows may increase permanently domestic output and represent an important source of technological spillovers for...

Empirical studies of economic growth across countries are abundant and rich in conclusions, some of them widely accepted. This is not the case, however, with the empirics of business cycles. Particularly, there exists little evidence explaining why some countries take more time than others...

This paper considers the extension to panel data of models that are specified cross-sectionally in terms of a likelihood. It considers specifically the estimation of stochastic frontier models but the same issue arises in many other models. The model can be estimated for any single value of the...
