Akcigit, Ufuk; Chhina, Raman; Cilasun, Seyit Mümin; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023
Small and young businesses are essential for job creation, innovation, and economic growth. Even most of the superstar firms start their business life small and then grow over time. Small firms have less internal resources, which makes them more fragile and sensitive to macroeconomic conditions....

Taking the Cochrane-Piazzesi Term Structure Model Out of Sample : More Data, Additional Currencies, and FX Implications
Hodrick, Robert J. - 2018
We examine the Cochrane and Piazzesi (2005, 2008) model in several out-of-sample analyzes. The model's one-factor forecasting structure characterizes the term structures of additional currencies in samples ending in 2003. In post-2003 data one-factor structures again characterize each currency's...

Information Costs and Sequential Information Sampling
Hébert, Benjamin - 2018
We propose a new approach to modeling the cost of information structures in rational inattention problems, the "neighborhood-based" cost functions. These cost functions have two properties that we view as desirable: they summarize the results of a sequential evidence accumulation problem, and...

Using Weights to Adjust for Sample Selection When Auxiliary Information is Available
Nevo, Aviv - 2001
In this paper I analyze GMM estimation when the sample is not a random draw from the population of interest. I exploit auxiliary information, in the form of moments from the population of interest, in order to compute weights that are proportional to the inverse probability of selection. The...

Combining Panel Data Sets with Attrition and Refreshment Samples
Hirano, Keisuke - 1998
In many fields researchers wish to consider statistical models that allow for more complex relationships than can be inferred using only cross-sectional data. Panel or longitudinal data where the same units are observed repeatedly at different points in time can often provide the richer data...

An Analysis of Sample Attrition in Panel Data : The Michigan Panel Study of Income Dynamics
Fitzgerald, John - 1998
By 1989 the Michigan Panel Study on Income Dynamics (PSID) had experienced approximately 50 percent sample loss from cumulative attrition from its initial 1968 membership. We study the effect of this attrition on the unconditional distributions of several socioeconomic variables and on the...

Inflation and the Distribution of Price Changes
Bryan, Michael F. - 1996
