The Effect of Aid on Growth : Evidence from a Quasi-Experiment
Galiani, Sebastian - 2016
The literature on aid and growth has not found a convincing instrumental variable to identify the causal effects of aid. This paper exploits an instrumental variable based on the fact that since 1987, eligibility for aid from the International Development Association (IDA) has been based partly...

The fade away effect of initial nonresponse bias in regression analysis
Alho, Juha M.; Rendtel, Ulrich; Khan, Mursala - 2023
High nonresponse rates have become a rule in survey sampling. In panel surveys there occur additional sample losses due … to panel attrition, which are thought to worsen the bias resulting from initial nonresponse. However, under certain … conditions an initial wave nonresponse bias may vanish in later panel waves. We study such a "Fade away" of an initial …

Spatial multivariate regressions with panel data
Mendonça, Mário Jorge Cardoso de; Medrano, Luis … - 2016
We develop a new Bayesian estimator that is able to deal with multivariate panel data structure in the presence of … spatial correlation. The analysis of panel data introduced here allows us to analyze not only the fixed effect but also the …

Epidemic trade
Börner, Lars; Severgnini, Battista - 2011
This paper studies the spread of the Black Death as a proxy for the ow of medieval trade between 1346 and 1351. The Black Death struck most areas of Europe and the wider Mediterranean. Based on a modified version of the gravity model, we estimate the speed (in kilometers per day) of transmission...

German wage moderation and European imbalances : feeding the global VAR with theory
Bettendorf, Timo; León-Ledesma, Miguel A. - 2015
German labor market reforms in the 1990s and 2000s are generally believed to have driven the large increase in the dispersion of current account balances in the Euro Area. We investigate this hypothesis quantitatively. We develop an open economy New Keynesian model with search and matching...

Return of the tariffs : the interwar trade collapse revisited
Adam, Marc Christopher - 2019
Was the collapse of world trade between 1928 and 1937 caused by higher transport costs, increased protectionism or the collapse of the gold standard? Using recent advances in the estimation of gravity equations, I examine the partial and general equilibrium effects of bilateral distance,...

Estimating Gravity from the Short to the Long Run : A Simple Solution to the 'International Elasticity Puzzle'
Anderson, James E.; Yotov, Yoto - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022
We propose a simple and flexible reduced-form econometric approach to estimate gravity models in the short and the long run. The theoretical lens for interpreting our methods amends the canonical Lucas-Prescott adjustment formulation to allow for time-interval-varying...

Sparse Network Asymptotics for Logistic Regression
Graham, Bryan S. - 2020
Consider a bipartite network where <i>N</i> consumers choose to buy or not to buy <i>M</i> different products. This paper considers the properties of the logistic regression of the <i>N</i> × <i>M</i> array of "i-buys-j" purchase decisions, <i>[Y<sub>ij</sub>]<sub>1≤i≤N,≤j≤M</sub></i>, onto known functions of consumer and product attributes...
