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...

Counteracting unemployment in crises : non-linear effects of short-time work policy

Gehrke, Britta; Hochmuth, Brigitte - 2017

Short-time work is a labor market policy that subsidizes working time reductions among firms in financial difficulty in order to prevent layoffs and stabilize employment. Many OECD countries have used this policy in the Great Recession, for example. This paper shows that the effects of...

Estimating trade policy effects with structural gravity

Piermartini, Roberta; Yotov, Yoto V. - 2016

The objective of this manuscript is to serve as a practical guide for estimations with the structural gravity model. After a brief review of the theoretical foundations, we summarize the main challenges with gravity estimations and we review the solutions to address those challenges. Then, we...

Measurement error in minimum wage evaluations using survey data

Bossler, Mario; Westermeier, Christian - 2020

We assess the role of measurement error in minimum wage evaluations when the treatment variable - the bite - is inferred from a survey wage distribution. We conduct Monte Carlo experiments on both simulated and empirical distributions of measurement error derived from a record linkage of survey...
