Price and transaction volume in the Dutch housing market
Wit, Erik R. de; Englund, Peter; Francke, Marc - 2010
Housing markets typically exhibit a strong positive correlation between the rate of price increase and the number of houses sold. We document this correlation on high-quality Dutch data for the period 1985-2007, and estimate a VEC-model that allows us to study the mechanism giving rise to the...

Does trade integration imply growth in Latin America? : evidence from a dynamic spatial spillover model
Blasques, F.; Gorgi, P.; Koopman, Siem Jan; Sampi, J. - 2023
To investigate the role of intra-regional trade integration on economic growth in Latin America, we develop a multilevel spatial production network model with time-varying parameters. The theoretical model is established for a multi-country and multi-sectoral economy. The reduced-form...

Do firms sell forward for strategic reasons? : an application to the wholesale market for natural gas
Eijkel, Remco van; Moraga-González, José Luis - 2010
Building on a model of the interaction of risk-averse frms that compete in forward and spot markets, we develop an empirical strategy to test whether oligopolistic frms use forward contracts for strategic motives, for risk-hedging, or for both. An increase in the number of players weakens the...

Identifying reduced-form relations with panel data
Vollebergh, Herman R. J.; Melenberg, Bertrand; … - 2007 - This version: September 13, 2007
The literature that tests for U-shaped relationships using panel data, such as those between pollution and income or inequality and growth, reports widely divergent (parametric and non-parametric) empirical findings. We explain why lack of identification lies at the root of these differences. To...

Time-weighted difference-in-differences : accounting for common factors in short T panels
Schenk, Timo - 2023
This paper proposes a time-weighted difference-in-differences (TWDID) estimation approach that is robust against … DID estimation through balancing the pre-treatment and post-treatment unobserved common factors. To conduct valid … estimation uncertainty. Revisiting a study on the effect of a cap-and-trade program on NOx emissions, TWDID estimation reduces …

This paper presents a trade model with capital and labor as factors of production. The main contribution of this paper is that it considers a new type of firm heterogeneity, which is empirically relevant: firms in this paper differ with respect to their factor shares in production. Therefore,...
