Natural disasters and the effect of trade on income : a new panel IV approach

Felbermayr, Gabriel; Gröschl, Jasmin - 2011

Does trade openness cause higher GDP per capita? Since the seminal instrumental variables (IV) estimates of Frankel and Romer [F&R](1999) important doubts have surfaced. Is the correlation spurious and driven by omitted geographical and institutional variables? In this paper, we generalize F&R's...

Stock markets, banks and long run economics growth : a panel cointegration-based analysis

Cavenaile, Laurent; Gengenbach, Christian; Palm, Franz C. - 2013

The aim of this paper is to investigate the long run relationship between the development of banks and stock markets and economic growth. We make use of a Johansen-based panel cointegration methodology allowing for cross-country dependence to test the number of cointegrating vectors among these...

Exploring the intensive and extensive margins of world trade : presented at Venice Summer Institute, Workshop on Dissecting Globalization, July 2004

Felbermayr, Gabriel; Kohler, Wilhelm - 2004

World trade evolves at two margins. Where a bilateral trading relationship already exists it may increase through time … have not traded with each other in the past (extensive margin). We provide an empirical dissection of post-World-War- II … growth in manufacturing world trade along these two margins. We propose a "cornersolutions- version"of the gravity model to …

Microeconometric evidence of financing frictions and innovative activity

Tiwari, Amaresh K.; Mohnen, Pierre A.; Palm, Franz C.; … - 2014

Using Dutch data we empirically investigate how financing and innovation vary across firm characteristics. We find that when firms face financial constraints, debt financing and innovation choices are not independent of firm characteristics, and R&D slows down. In the absence of financial...

Simulation and estimation of hedonic models

Heckman, James J. - 2003

Making use of restrictions imposed by equilibrium, theoretical progress has been made on the nonparametric and semiparametric estimation and identification of scalar additive hedonic models (Ekeland, Heckman, and Nesheim, 2002) and scalar nonadditive hedonic models (Heckman, Matzkin, and...

Identification and estimation of hedonic models

Ekeland, Ivar; Heckman, James J.; Nesheim, Lars - 2003

This paper considers the identification and estimation of hedonic models. We establish that in an additive version of the hedonic model, technology and preferences are generically identified up to affine transformations from data on demand and supply in a single hedonic market. For a very...
