association started with a voluntary benchmarking aimed to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the sector. Secondly … efficiency of these two evolutions. In particular, we adapt Free Disposal Hull (FDH) to estimate robust and conditional non …-oriented efficiency estimates. Parametric COLS (Fourier) tests show the robustness of the model with respect to the specification and its …

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...

The causal links between aid and government expenditures

Marć, Łukasz - 2014

The most recent literature on aid effectiveness finds a positive effect of aid on growth. To the extent that aid goes through the budget, this either reflects an aid-financed increase in government expenditures (quantity effect) or an improvement in the use of government resources as a result of...

EmmPack 1.01 : C/C++ code for use with Ox for estimation of univariate stochastic volatility models with the efficient method of moments

Sluis, Pieter J. van der - 1998

Econometric estimation using simulation techniques, such as the efficient method of moments, may betime consuming. The use of ordinary matrix programming languages such as Gauss, Matlab, Ox or S-plus will very often cause extra delay. For the Efficient Method of Moments implemented to...

Nonparametric estimation for non-homogeneous semi-Markov processes : an application to credit risk

Monteiro, André Antonio; Smirnov, Georgi V.; Lucas, André - 2006

We propose procedures for estimating the time-dependent transition matrices for the general class of finite nonhomogeneous continuous-time semi-Markov processes. We prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions for the system of Volterra integral equations defining the transition matrices,...

Extracting business cycles using semi-parametric time-varying spectra with applications to US macroeconomic time series

Koopman, Siem Jan; Wong, Soon Yip - 2006

A growing number of empirical studies provides evidence that dynamic properties of macroeconomic time series have been changing over time. Model-based procedures for the measurement of business cycles should therefore allow model parameters to adapt over time. In this paper the time dependencies...

Specification testing of production in a stochastic frontier model

Guo, Xu; Li, Gao-Rong; McAleer, Michael; Wong, Wing Keung - 2017

Parametric production frontier functions are frequently used in stochastic frontier models, but there do not seem to be any empirical test statistics for its plausibility. To bridge the gap in the literature, we develop two test statistics based on local smoothing and an empirical process,...
