Industrial Coal Demand in China: A Provincial Analysis

Manera, Matteo; Cattaneo, Cristina; Scarpa, Elisa - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2008

The general concern on the environmental implications of the rising demand for coal registered in China during the last few years has induced considerable research effort to produce accurate forecasts of China’s energy requirements. Nevertheless, no previous study has modelled the coal demand...

Limited Information Bayesian Model Averaging for Dynamic Panels with An Application to a Trade Gravity Model

Chen, Huigang; Mirestean, Alin; Tsangarides, Charalambos G. - International Monetary Fund (IMF) - 2011

This paper extends the Bayesian Model Averaging framework to panel data models where the lagged dependent variable as well as endogenous variables appear as regressors. We propose a Limited Information Bayesian Model Averaging (LIBMA) methodology and then test it using simulated data. Simulation...

Binary Choice with Binary Endogenous Regressors in Panel Data: Estimating the Effect of Fertility on Female Labour Participation

Carrasco, Raquel - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 1999

This paper considers the estimation of binary choice panel data models with discrete endogenous regressors. We present a switching probit model which accounts for selectivity bias as well as for other forms of time invariant unobserved heterogeneity. Individual effects are allowed to be...

Municipal Waste Selection and Disposal: Evidences from Lombardy

Silvestri, Francesco; Ghinoi, Stefano - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2015

This article exploit a data base of 1.522 observations related to Lombardy’s municipalities to run a cross sectional estimation of the drivers of MW selection. We find no evidence of a significant correlation between the percentage of selected MW selection and market variables such as the unit...

Brown Sunsets and Green Dawns in the Industrial Sector: Environmental Innovations, Firm Behavior and the European Emission Trading

Borghesi, Simone; Cainelli, Giulio; Mazzanti, Massimiliano - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2012

We study the driving forces behind the adoption of environmental innovations (EI) in the Italian industry over 2006-2008 through analyses of the new wave of Community Innovation Survey (CIS) data that covered for the first time environmental innovation adoptions. We investigate whether the first...

Asymmetry Reversals and the Business Cycle

Distante, Roberta; Petrella, Ivan; Santoro, Emiliano - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013

The cross-sectional dynamics of the U.S. business cycle is examined through the lens of quantile regression models. Conditioning the quantiles of firm-level growth to different measures of technological change highlights a deep connection between counter-cyclical skewness and the transmission of...
