Testing missing at random using instrumental variables
Breunig, Christoph - 2017
This paper proposes a test for missing at random (MAR). The MAR assumption is shown to be testable given instrumental variables which are independent of response given potential outcomes. A nonparametric testing procedure based on integrated squared distance is proposed. The statistic's...

A unit-level quantile nested error regression model for domain prediction with continuous and discrete outcomes
Weidenhammer, Beate; Schmid, Timo; Salvati, Nicola; … - 2016
In this paper we will present recent work on a new unit-level small area methodology that can be used with continuous and discrete outcomes. The proposed method is based on constructing a model-based estimator of the distribution function by using a nested-error regression model for the...

Stress testing German banks against a global cost-of-capital shock
Düllmann, Klaus; Kick, Thomas - 2012
This paper introduces a stress test of the corporate credit portfolios of 24 large German banks by a two-stage approach: First, a macro-econometric model is used to forecast the impact of a substantial increase of the user cost of business capital for firms worldwide on three particularly...

Estimating regional wealth in Germany : how different are East and West really?
Kreutzmann, Ann-Kristin; Marek, Philipp; Salvati, Nicola; … - 2019
More than 25 years after German reunification, key economic indicators for households living in eastern German regions are still below the western German levels. This particularly holds for private net wealth, which reaches only about 40% of the western German level. However, a more granular...

A Trajectories-Based Approach to Measuring Intergenerational Mobility
Chang, Yoosoon; Durlauf, Steven N.; Lee, Seunghee; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023
This paper develops an approach to intergenerational mobility in which the trajectories of parental incomes during childhood and adolescence are the conditioning objects for characterizing dependence across generations. We use functional regression methods to produce an intergenerational...

Pricing the Bund term structure with linear regressions : without an observable short rate
Speck, Christian - 2023
Affine term structure models of bond yields are important tools for analyzing fixed income markets and monetary policy. Estimators of Adrian, Crump, and Mönch (2013) and Diez de Los Rios (2015) replace time-consuming nonlinear search procedures with a set of simple linear regressions. However,...

Productivity, markups, and reallocation : evidence from French manufacturing firms from 1994 to 2016
De Monte, Enrico - 2024
This paper investigates the evolution of aggregate productivity and markups among French manufacturing firms between 1994 and 2016, by focusing on the role of reallocation with respect to both aggregate measures. Firm-level productivity and markups are estimated based on a gross output translog...

Staggered difference-in-differences in gravity settings : revisiting the effects of trade agreements
Nagengast, Arne J.; Yotov, Yoto - 2023
We nest an extended two-way fixed effect (ETWFE) estimator for staggered difference-in-differences within the structural gravity model. To test the ETWFE, we estimate the effects of regional trade agreements (RTAs). The results suggest that RTA estimates in the current gravity literature may be...
