Estimation of Higher-Order Spatial Autoregressive Panel Data Error Component Models

Badinger, Harald; Egger, Peter - CESifo - 2009

This paper develops an estimator for higher-order spatial autoregressive panel data error component models with spatial autoregressive disturbances, SARAR(R,S). We derive the moment conditions and optimal weighting matrix without distributional assumptions for a generalized moments (GM)...

GM Estimation of Higher-Order Spatial Autoregressive Processes in Cross-Section Models with Heteroskedastic Disturbances

Badinger, Harald; Egger, Peter - CESifo - 2008

This paper generalizes the approach to estimating a first-order spatial autoregressive model with spatial autoregressive disturbances (SARAR(1,1)) in a cross-section with heteroskedastic innovations by Kelejian and Prucha (2008) to the case of spatial autoregressive models with spatial...

Intra- and Inter-Industry Productivity Spillovers in OECD Manufacturing: A Spatial Econometric Perspective

Badinger, Harald; Egger, Peter - CESifo - 2008

We adopt a spatial econometric approach to estimate intra- and inter-industry productivity spillovers in total factor productivity transmitted through input-output relations in a sample of 13 OECD countries and 15 manufacturing industries. Both R&D spillovers as well as remainder,...

Permanent Wage Cost Subsidies for Older Workers. An Effective Tool for Increasing Working Time and Postponing Early Retirement?

Albanese, Andrea; Cockx, Bart - CESifo - 2015

In several OECD countries age-targeted wage subsidies have been introduced to increase the employment of older workers … on the employment rate, working time and hourly wage. We estimate these effects by integrating Inverse Probability … small positive short-run impacts on working time and larger ones on the employment rate, but only for employees at high risk …

Regional Policy Evaluation: Interactive Fixed Effects and Synthetic Control

Gobillon, Laurent; Magnac, Thierry - CESifo - 2014

In this paper, we investigate the use of interactive effect or linear factor models in regional policy evaluation. We contrast treatment effect estimates obtained by Bai (2009)’s least squares method with the popular difference in differences estimates as well as with estimates obtained using...
