Subjective well-being, income, economic development and growth

Sacks, Daniel W.; Stevenson, Betsey; Wolfers, Justin - 2010

We explore the relationships between subjective well-being and income, as seen across individuals within a given country, between countries in a given year, and as a country grows through time. We show that richer individuals in a given country are more satisfied with their lives than are poorer...

Subjective well-being and income : is there any evidence of satiation?

Stevenson, Betsey; Wolfers, Justin - 2013 - This draft: April 16, 2013

Many scholars have argued that once "basic needs" have been met, higher income is no longer associated with higher in subjective well-being. We assess the validity of this claim in comparisons of both rich and poor countries, and also of rich and poor people within a country. Analyzing multiple...

Landlockedness and economic development : analyzing subnational panel data and exploring mechanisms

Jetter, Michael; Mösle, Saskia; Stadelmann, David - 2017

This paper revisits the hypothesis that landlocked regions are systematically poorer than regions with ocean access, using panel data for 1,527 subnational regions in 83 nations from 1950-2014. This data structure allows us to exploit within-country-time variation only (e.g., regional variation...

A multi-country approach to forecasting output growth using PMIs

Chudik, Alexander; Grossman, Valerie; Pesaran, M. Hashem - 2014

This paper derives new theoretical results for forecasting with Global VAR (GVAR) models. It is shown that the presence of a strong unobserved common factor can lead to an undeter-mined GVAR model. To solve this problem, we propose augmenting the GVAR with additional proxy equations for the...

Identifying global and national output and fiscal policy shocks using a GVAR

Chudik, Alexander; Pesaran, M. Hashem; Mohaddes, Kamiar - 2019

The paper contributes to the growing global VAR (GVAR) literature by showing how global and national shocks can be identified within a GVAR framework. The usefulness of the proposed approach is illustrated in an application to the analysis of the interactions between public debt and real output...

GDP growth, private debt and monetary policy

Cafiso, Gianluca - 2017

Economic research has considered Private Debt a determinant of GDP growth for years. By keeping this perspective, the objective of this work is to understand how much of the GDP response to a monetary shock is due to the variation of private debt. This is the marginal contribution of private...

What drives German trend output growth? : a sectoral view

Lehmann, Robert; Zarges, Lara - 2024 - This version: April 23, 2024

In this paper, we outline material and capital linkages across sectors to quantify the role of the German production network in amplifying sectoral dynamics on aggregate trend gross domestic product growth. This allows us to study the impact of sectoral labor input and total factor productivity...
