Land prices with urban sprawl: a model for Spain The paper describes the agricultural land price to identify the explanatory variables of the recent cycle in Spain. The key variables in our panel data model are location and expected farm rents as fundamentals and the housing prices and increases...

We consider problems in modelling job-matching in the Czech Republic during the transition to a market economy. Special interest is devoted to functional form considerations and the analysis of returns to scale of the matching function. This explorative study aims to shed some light into the...

We consider an additive model with second order interaction terms. It is shown how the components of this model can be estimated using marginal integration, and the asymptotic distribution of the estimators is derived. Moreover, two test statistics for testing the presence of interactions are...

Additive regression models have a long history in nonparametric regression. It is well known that these models can be estimated at the one dimensional rate. Until recently, however, these models have been estimated by a backfitting procedure. Although the procedure converges quickly, its...
