Long-run links among money, prices, and output : world-wide evidence

Herwartz, Helmut; Reimers, Hans-Eggert - 2001

analyse this topic by means of a P-star model. Based on the quantity theory of money, this approach explains inflation via a …. Moreover, parameter restrictions for the long-run relationships implied by the monetary theory are tested. Country specific P … Preisniveau und dem realen Output testet. Weiterhin werden die Parameterrestriktionen, die sich durch die monet¨are Theorie …

Pooling versus model selection for nowcasting with many predictors : an application to German GDP

Kuzin, Vladimir; Marcellino, Massimiliano; Schumacher, … - 2009

This paper discusses pooling versus model selection for now- and forecasting in the presence of model uncertainty with large, unbalanced datasets. Empirically, unbalanced data is pervasive in economics and typically due to different sampling frequencies and publication delays. Two model classes...

Empirical simultaneous confidence regions for path-forecasts

Jordà, Òscar; Knüppel, Malte; Marcellino, Massimiliano - 2010

Measuring and displaying uncertainty around path-forecasts, i.e. forecasts made in period T about the expected trajectory of a random variable in periods T+1 to T+H is a key ingredient for decision making under uncertainty. The probabilistic assessment about the set of possible trajectories that...

U-MIDAS: MIDAS regressions with unrestricted lag polynomials

Foroni, Claudia; Marcellino, Massimiliano; Schumacher, … - 2011

Mixed-data sampling (MIDAS) regressions allow to estimate dynamic equations that explain a low-frequency variable by high-frequency variables and their lags. When the difference in sampling frequencies between the regressand and the regressors is large, distributed lag functions are typically...

MIDAS versus mixed-frequency VAR : nowcasting GDP in the euro area

Kuzin, Vladimir; Marcellino, Massimiliano; Schumacher, … - 2009

This paper compares the mixed-data sampling (MIDAS) and mixed-frequency VAR (MF-VAR) approaches to model speci.cation in the presence of mixed-frequency data, e.g., monthly and quarterly series. MIDAS leads to parsimonious models based on exponential lag polynomials for the coeØ cients, whereas...

Identification and estimation of hedonic models

Ekeland, Ivar; Heckman, James J.; Nesheim, Lars - 2002

This paper considers the identification and estimation of hedonic models. We establish that technology and preferences in a separable version of the hedonic model are generically identified up to affine transformations from data on demand and supply in a single hedonic market. For a very general...

Estimating the technology of cognitive and noncognitive skill formation

Cunha, Flavio; Heckman, James J.; Schennach, Susanne M. - 2010

This paper formulates and estimates multistage production functions for children's cognitive and noncognitive skills. Skills are determined by parental environments and investments at different stages of childhood. We estimate the elasticity of substitution between investments in one period and...

Testing the correlated random coefficient model

Heckman, James J.; Schmierer, Daniel; Urzua, Sergio - 2010

The recent literature on instrumental variables (IV) features models in which agents sort into treatment status on the basis of gains from treatment as well as on baselinepretreatment levels. Components of the gains known to the agents and acted on by them may not be known by the observing...
