Oracle inequalities for high-dimensional panel data models

Kock, Anders Bredahl - School of Economics and Management, University of Aarhus - 2013

This paper is concerned with high-dimensional panel data models where the number of regressors can be much larger than the sample size. Under the assumption that the true parameter vector is sparse we establish finite sample upper bounds on the estimation error of the Lasso under two different...

Inference in High-dimensional Dynamic Panel Data Models

Kock, Anders Bredahl; Tang, Haihan - School of Economics and Management, University of Aarhus - 2014

We establish oracle inequalities for a version of the Lasso in high-dimensional fixed effects dynamic panel data models. The inequalities are valid for the coefficients of the dynamic and exogenous regressors. Separate oracle inequalities are derived for the fixed effects. Next, we show how one...

Sharp Threshold Detection Based on Sup-norm Error rates in High-dimensional Models

Callot, Laurent; Caner, Mehmet; Kock, Anders Bredahl; … - School of Economics and Management, University of Aarhus - 2015

We propose a new estimator, the thresholded scaled Lasso, in high dimensional threshold regressions. First, we establish an upper bound on the sup-norm estimation error of the scaled Lasso estimator of Lee et al. (2012). This is a non-trivial task as the literature on highdimensional models has...

Efficient Estimation of Non-Linear Dynamic Panel Data Models with Application to Smooth Transition Models

Gørgens, Tue; Skeels, Christopher L.; Würtz, Allan H. - School of Economics and Management, University of Aarhus - 2009

This paper explores estimation of a class of non-linear dynamic panel data models with additive unobserved individual-specific effects. The models are specified by moment restrictions. The class includes the panel data AR(p) model and panel smooth transition models. We derive an efficient set of...

Headlights on tobacco road to low birthweight outcomes - Evidence from a battery of quantile regression estimators and a heterogeneous panelCreation-Date: 20080508

Bache, Stefan Holst; Dahl, Christian M.; Tang, Johannes - School of Economics and Management, University of Aarhus

Low birthweight outcomes are associated with large social and economic costs, and therefore the possible determinants of low birthweight are of great interest. One such determinant which has received considerable attention is maternal smoking. From an economic perspective this is in part due to...

On the estimation of the volatility-growth link

Launov, Andrey; Posch, Olaf; Wälde, Klaus - School of Economics and Management, University of Aarhus - 2012

It is common practice to estimate the volatility-growth link by specifying a standard growth equation such that the variance of the error term appears as an explanatory variable in this growth equation. The variance in turn is modelled by a second equation. Hardly any of existing applications of...

Income Convergence and the Flow out of Poverty in India, 1994-2005

Paola A. Barrientos Q.; Blunch, Niels-Hugo; Gupta, … - School of Economics and Management, University of Aarhus - 2015

This paper explores the dynamics of income and poverty of rural Indian households, 1994-2005. The estimation strategy consists of convergence analysis to test whether poor households are catching-up in terms of income, followed by transition analysis to test whether poor households are more...

Convergence Patterns in Latin America

Quiroga, Paola Andrea Barrientos - School of Economics and Management, University of Aarhus - 2010

Literature on convergence among Latin American countries is still scarce compared to other regions. Moreover, almost none of the research connects convergence to the economic history of Latin America and the usual finding is one speed of convergence. In this paper I analyze 32 countries and 108...

Do Social Rights Affect Social Outcomes?

Bjørnskov, Christian; Mchangama, Jacob - School of Economics and Management, University of Aarhus - 2013

While the United Nations and NGOs are pushing for global judicialization of economic, social and cultural rights (ESCRs), little is known of their consequences. We provide evidence of the effects of introducing three types of ESCRs into the constitution: the rights to education, health and...
