A Generalized Spatial Panel Data Model with Random Effects
Baltagi, Badi H.; Egger, Peter H.; Pfaffermayr, Michael - 2021
This paper proposes a generalized panel data model with random effects and first-order spatially autocorrelated residuals that encompasses two previously suggested specifications. The first one is described in Anselin’s (1988) book and the second one by Kapoor, Kelejian, and Prucha (2007). Our...

Patient Mobility, Health Care Quality and Welfare
Brekke, Kurt Richard; Levaggi, Rosella; Siciliani, Luigi; … - 2021
Patient mobility is a key issue in the EU who recently passed a new law on patients’ right to EU-wide provider choice …. In this paper we use a Hotelling model with two regions that differ in technology to study the impact of patient mobility … on health care quality, health care financing and welfare. We show that without patient mobility quality is too low (high …

The Cult of Statistical Significance
Kraemer, Walter - 2010
This article takes issue with a recent book by Ziliak and McCloskey (2008) of the same title. Ziliak and McCloskey argue that statistical significance testing is a barrier rather than a booster for empirical research in many fields and should therefore be abandoned altogether. The present...

Mincer Earnings Functions for the Netherlands 1962-2012
Hartog, Joop - 2016
We extract estimation results on the Mincer earnings function from four earlier studies and add new results from a recent dataset. We analyse differences related to differences in earnings concepts, in sampling frame and differences among studies that cannot be explained. Jointly, the studies...

Upward Pricing Pressure of Mergers Weakening Vertical Relationships
Langus, Gregor - 2016
We modify the UPP test of Farrell and Shapiro (2010) to take into account the possibility that a merger weakens (or eliminates) a vertical supply relationship. After deriving a general effect of the merger, we provide an example of simple estimation strategy when only prices, costs and market...

A Spatial Cliff-Ord-Type Model with Heteroskedastic Innovations : Small and Large Sample Results
Arraiz, Irani - 2008
In this paper we specify a linear Cliff and Ord-type spatial model. The model allows for spatial lags in the dependent variable, the exogenous variables, and disturbances. The innovations in the disturbance process are assumed to be heteroskedastic with an unknown form. We formulate a multi-step...

Using Spatial Distribution of Outlets to Estimate Gambling Incidence
Dahan, Momi - 2017
The paper proposes a simple and innovative methodology for measuring the incidence of gambling expenditure in countries for which household survey data is unavailable or unreliable. A first application of this methodology is presented by merging data on the geographical location of gambling...

Spatial and Temporal Diffusion of House Prices in the UK
Holly, Sean - 2013
This paper provides a method for the analysis of the spatial and temporal diffusion of shocks in a dynamic system. We use changes in real house prices within the UK economy at the level of regions to illustrate its use. Adjustment to shocks involves both a region specific and a spatial effect....
