Estimation of group structures in panel models with individual fixed effects
Mammen, Enno; Wilke, Ralf A.; Zapp, Kristina Maria - 2022
The fixed effects (FE) panel model is one of the main econometric tools in empirical economic research. A major practical limitation is that the parameters on time-constant covariates are not identifiable. This paper presents a new approach to grouping FE in the linear panel model to reduce...

Exploring the puzzle of human reproduction : register data based evidence from France and Germany
Lipowski, Cäcilia; Wilke, Ralf A.; Koebel, Bertrand M. - 2020
Birth rates differ strongly across European states, https://madoc.bib.uni-mannheim.de/55902despite the deep economic harmonisation process related to European integration. This study uses large scale administrative data from France and Germany to analyse and directly compare fertility patterns...

Chow-Lin x N : how adding a panel dimension can improve accuracy
Bettendorf, Timo; Bursian, Dirk - 2017
Single equation models are well established among academics and practitioners to perform temporal disaggregation of low frequency time series using available related series. In this paper, we propose an extension that exploits information from the cross-sectional dimension. More specifically, we...

The impact of new technologies on the demand for heterogenous labour : empirical evidence from the German business-related services sector
Kaiser, Ulrich - 1998
The impact of technology on the demand for heterogeneous labor is controversely discussed throughout the literature. New technology which is said to favor high skilled labor and to substitute low skilled labor is often considered as the main reason for the decline in relative demand for low...

The elasticity of taxable income for Germany and its sensitivity to the appropriate model
Werdt, Clive - 2015
This paper provides new empirical insights on the elasticity of taxable income for Germany. Using a rich panel of …), this dynamic model delivers significant smaller estimates of the elasticity of taxable income. The overall estimate is 0 … married and single assessed taxpayers with an elasticity of 0.17 for single and 0.44 for married taxpayers. These elasticities …

Climate protection potentials of digitalized production processes : microeconometric evidence?
Axenbeck, Janna; Niebel, Thomas - 2021
Although information and communication technologies (ICT) consume energy themselves, they are considered to have the potential to reduce overall energy intensity within economic sectors. While previous empirical evidence is based on aggregated data, this is the first large-scale empirical study...

Inflation and growth : new evidence from a dynamic panel threshold analysis
Kremer, Stephanie; Bick, Alexander; Nautz, Dieter - 2009
We introduce a dynamic panel threshold model to shed new light on the impact of inflation on long-term economic growth. The empirical analysis is based on a large panel-data set including 124 countries during the period from 1950 to 2004. For industrialized countries, our results confirm the...

Race to the debt trap? : spatial econometric evidence on debt in German municipalities
Fossen, Frank M.; Freier, Ronny; Martin, Thorsten - 2014
Through an intertemporal budget constraint, jurisdictions may gain advantages in tax and spending competition by 'competing' on debt. While the existing spatial econometric literature focuses on tax and spending competition, very little is known about spatial interaction via public debt. This...

On the degree of homogeneity in dynamic heterogeneous panel data models
Offermanns, Christian J. - 2014
We propose a semi-parametric approach to heterogeneous dynamic panel data modelling. The method generalizes existing approaches to model cross-section homogeneity within such panels. It allows for partial influence of other cross-section units on estimated coefficients, differentiating between...

International investment positions and exchange rate dynamics
Binder, Michael; Offermanns, Christian J. - 2014
We revisit medium- to long-run exchange rate determination, focusing on the role of international investment positions. To do so, we make use of a new econometric framework accounting for conditional long-run homogeneity in heterogeneous dynamic panel data models. In particular, in our model the...
