Aid, Public Expenditure and Dutch Disease

Adam, Christopher; Bevan, David - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2003

Contemporary policy debates on the macroeconomics of aid often concentrate on short-run Dutch disease effects, ignoring the possible supply model of aid and public expenditure in which public infrastructure capital generates an inter-temporal productivity spill over for both tradable and...

Redistributive Taxation and Public Expenditures

Bandyopadhyay, Sanghamitra; Esteban, Joan - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2007

We introduce a model of redistributive income taxation and public expenditure. Besides redistributing personal income by means of taxes and transfers, the government supplies goods and services. The government chooses the tax schedule that is found acceptable by the largest share possible of the...

Aid and the Supply Side: Public Investment, Export Performance and Dutch Disease in Low Income Countries

Adam, Christopher; Bevan, David - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2004

Contemporary policy debates on the macroeconomics of aid often concentrate on short run Dutch disease effects, ignoring the possible supply side impact of aid financed public expenditure. We present a simple model of aid and public expenditure in which public infrastructure generates an...

Modelling UK Inflation over the Long Run

Hendry, David - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2000

UK inflation varied greatly over 1865-1990, in response to many policy and exchange-rate regimes, two world wars and oil crises, and major legislative, and technological changes. It is modelled as responding to excess demands from all sectors of the economy: goods and services, factors of...

A wavelet approach to multiple cointegration testing

Fernandez-Macho, Javier - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2013

This paper introduces a class of cointegration tests based on estimated low-pass and high-pass regression coefficients … cointegration in a n + k multivariate system with n cointegrating relationships without the need of either detrending nor … cointegration under the null without the need of special tables. Small sample quantiles for these wavelet statistics are obtained …

A Test for the Null of Multiple Cointegrating Vectors

Fernandez-Macho, Javier - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2013

This paper examines a test for the null of cointegration in a multivariate system based on the discrepancy between the … offering a simple way of testing for cointegration under the null without the need of special tables. Small sample critical … perform quite reasonably when compared to other tests of the null of cointegration. …

The role of income in money demand during hyper-inflation: the case of Yugoslavia

Nielsen, Bent; Mladenovic, Zorica - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2009

During extreme hyper-inflations productivity tends to fall dramatically. Yet, in models of money demand in hyper-inflation variables such as real income has been given a somewhat passive role, either assuming it exogenous or to have a negligible role. In this paper we use an empirical...

Identification and forecasting in the Lee-Carter model

Nielsen, Bent; Nielsen, J.P. - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2010

We consider the identification problem for the model of Lee and Carter (1992). The parameters of this model are known only to be identified up to certain transformations. Forecasts from the model may therefore depend on the arbitrarily chosen identification scheme. A condition for...

Testing for rational bubbles in a co-explosive vector autoregression

Nielsen, Bent; Engsted, Tom - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2010

We derive the parameter restrictions that a standard equity market model implies for a bivariate vector autoregression for stock prices and dividends, and we show how to test these restrictions using likelihood ratio tests. The restrictions, which imply that stock returns are unpredictable,...

Autoregressive conditional root model

Shephard, Neil; Rahbek, Anders - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2002

In this paper we develop a time series model which allows long-term disequilibriums to have epochs of non-stationarity, giving the impression that long term relationships between economic variables have temporarily broken down, before they endogenously collapse back towards their long term...
