Assessing Cumulative Net Nutrition and the Transition from 19th Century Bound to Free-Labor by Ethnic Status
Carson, Scott A. - 2018
Average stature reflects cumulative net nutrition and health during economic development. This study introduces a … difference-in-decompositions approach to show that although 19th century African-American cumulative net nutrition was comparable … to working class whites, it was made worse-off with the transition to free-labor. Average stature reflects net nutrition …

The Estimation of Multi-Dimensional Fixed Effects Panel Data Models
Balazsi, Laszlo - 2015
The paper introduces the appropriate within estimators for the most frequently used three-dimensional fixed effects panel data models. It analyzes the behavior of these estimators in the cases of no self-flow data, unbalanced data, and dynamic autoregressive models. The main results are then...

The 19th Century Net Nutrition Transition from Free to Bound Labor : A Difference-in-Decompositions Approach
Carson, Scott A. - 2018
The body mass index (BMI) reflects current net nutrition and health during economic development. This study introduces … a difference-in-decompositions approach to show that although 19th century African-American current net nutrition was … comparable to working class whites, it was made worse-off with the transition to free-labor. BMI reflects net nutrition over the …

Determinants of Pollution Abatement and Control Expenditure in Romania : A Multilevel Analysis
Caporale, Guglielmo Maria; Rault, Christophe; Sova, Robert - 2021
The transition process in Central and Eastern Europe was associated with growing environmental awareness. This paper analyses the determinants of Pollution Abatement and Control Expenditure (PACE) at plant level in the case of Romania using survey data and a Multilevel Regression Model (MRM)....

On Comparing the Accuracy of Default Predictions in the Rating Industry
Kraemer, Walter; Guettler, Andre - 2021
We consider 1927 borrowers from 54 countries who had a credit rating by both Moody's and S&P at the end of 1998, and their subsequent default history up to the end of 2002. Viewing bond ratings as predicted probabilities of default, we consider partial orderings among competing probability...

Comparing Default Predictions in the Rating Industry for Different Sets of Obligors
Kraemer, Walter - 2016
We generalize the refinement ordering for well calibrated probability forecasters to the case were the debtors under consideration are not necessarily identical. This ordering is consistent with many well known skill scores used in practice. We also add an illustration using default predictions...

Using Survey Data on Inflation Expectations in the Estimation of Learning and Rational Expectations Models
Ormeño, Arturo - CESifo - 2011
Do survey data on inflation expectations contain useful information for estimating macroeconomic models? I address this question by using survey data in the New Keynesian model by Smets and Wouters (2007) to estimate and compare its performance when solved under the assumptions of Rational...

Econometrics: A Bird’s Eye View
Geweke, John; Horowitz, Joel; Pesaran, M. Hashem - CESifo - 2006
As a unified discipline, econometrics is still relatively young and has been transforming and expanding very rapidly over the past few decades. Major advances have taken place in the analysis of cross sectional data by means of semi-parametric and non-parametric techniques. Heterogeneity of...
