The bias of the Gini coefficient due to grouping

Van Ourti, Tom; Clarke, Philip M. - 2008

We propose a first order bias correction term for the Gini index to reduce the bias due to grouping. The first order … reveals an intuitive formula for the remaining second order bias which is useful in empirical analyses. We analyze the … it reduces a considerable share of the bias due to grouping. …

Cyclical and stuctural variation in resource reallocation : evidence for Europe

Bartelsman, Eric J.; López-García, Paloma; … - 2018

This paper uses cross-country micro-aggregated data on rm dynamics and productivity from the ECB CompNet database to provide empirical evidence on factor reallocation in the EU. The analysis finds that reallocation is towards more productive firms although the magnitude varies across countries...

Tax competition under minimum rates : the case of European diesel excises

Evers, Michiel; Mooij, Ruud A. de; Vollebergh, Herman R. J. - 2004

This paper estimates Nash-type fiscal reaction functions for European governments competing for revenue from diesel excises. It appears that European governments strategically set their excise levels by responding to their neighbors’ tax rates. This provides evidence for the presence of tax...

Measuring financial cycles in a model-based analysis : empirical evidence for the United States and the euro area

Galati, Gabriele; Hindrayanto, Irma; Koopman, Siem Jan; … - 2016

We adopt an unobserved components time series model to extract financial cycles for the United States and the five largest euro area countries over the period 1970 to 2014. We find that credit, the credit-to-GDP ratio and house prices have medium-term cycles which share a few common statistical...

Transmission of government spending shocks in the Euro area : time variation and driving forces

Kirchner, Markus; Cimadomo, Jacopo; Hauptmeier, Sebastian - 2010

This paper provides new evidence on the effects of government spending shocks and the fiscal transmission mechanism in the euro area for the period 1980-2008. Our contribution is two-fold. First, we investigate changes in the macroeconomic impact of government spending shocks using time-varying...

Likelihood-based cointegration analysis in panels of vector error correction models

Groen, Jan J. J.; Kleibergen, Frank - 1999 - This version: July 28, 1999

We propose in this paper a likelihood-based framework forcointegration analysis in panels of a fixed number of vector errorcorrection models. Maximum likelihood estimators of thecointegrating vectors are constructed using iterated GeneralizedMethod of Moments estimators. Using these estimators...
