Exponent of cross-sectional dependence : estimation and inference
Bailey, Natalia; Kapetanios, George; Pesaran, M. Hashem - 2012
An important issue in the analysis of cross-sectional dependence which has received renewed interest in the past few years is the need for a better understanding of the extent and nature of such cross dependencies. In this paper we focus on measures of cross-sectional dependence and how such...

Policy evaluation of waste pricing programs using heterogeneous causal effect estimation
Valente, Marica - 2021
Using machine learning methods in a quasi-experimental setting, I study the heterogeneous effects of introducing waste prices - unit prices on household unsorted waste disposal - on waste demands and social welfare. First, using a unique panel of Italian municipalities with large variation in...
