The Financial Accelerator: Evidence using a procedure of Structural Model Design

Hammersland, Roger; Jacobsen, Dag Henning - 2008

We find empirical evidence of a financial accelerator using a data based procedure of Structural Model Design. Credit to firms, asset prices and aggregate economic activity interact over the business cycle in our empirical model of a dynamic economy. Furthermore, the interdependence between...

Driving forces of the Swiss output gap

Leist, Stefan - 2011

Contrary to standard agnostic statistical approaches an output gap estimate based on a New Keynesian Small Open Economy model provides the possibility to analyze the driving forces of the variation in GDP caused by nominal rigidities. This paper makes use of this and provides an estimate of a...

Operationalising the Capability Approach: A German Correlation Sensitive Poverty Index

Rippin, Nicole - 2012

The official measure to analyse poverty in Germany is the at-risk-of-poverty rate, defined as 60 per cent of the median net equivalence income. The severe methodological weaknesses of this rate seem to be the main source for the uncertainty that the issue of poverty in Germany generates in the...

Distributional Justice and Efficiency: Integrating Inequality Within and Between Dimensions in Additive Poverty Indices

Rippin, Nicole - 2012

According to Sen (1976), any reasonable poverty index ought to be sensitive to inequality. In a multidimensional framework, inequality between poverty dimensions is traditionally treated as association sensitivity. Such an approach, however, is based exclusively on efficiency considerations,...

A topological view on the identification of structural vector autoregressions

Neusser, Klaus - 2016

The notion of the group of orthogonal matrices acting on the set of all feasible identification schemes is used to … characterize the identification problem arising in structural vector autoregressions. This approach presents several conceptual … uninformative prior. Second, it allows to derive the joint distribution of blocks of parameters defining an identification scheme …

The impacts of alternative policy instruments on environmental performance. A firm level study of temporary and persistent effects

Bye, Brita; Klemetsen, Marit E. - 2014

We study the effects of various environmental regulations on environmental performance measured as emission intensity. Moreover, we aim to test whether any such effects are persistent or only temporary. Conventional theory predicts that indirect regulations as opposed to direct regulations...

Selection in surveys

Dutz, Deniz; Huitfeldt, Ingrid; Lacouture, Santiago; … - 2021

We evaluate how nonresponse affects conclusions drawn from survey data and consider how researchers can reliably test and correct for nonresponse bias. To do so, we examine a survey on labor market conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic that used randomly assigned financial incentives to...
