Long memory in Turkish unemployment rates
Gil-Alaña, Luis A.; Ozdemir, Zeynel Abidin; Tansel, Aysıt - 2017
In this paper we have examined the unemployment rate series in Turkey by using long memory models and in particular … employing fractionally integrated techniques. Our results suggest that unemployment in Turkey is highly persistent, with orders …

Unemployment and labor force participation in Turkey
Tansel, Aysıt; Ozdemir, Zeynel Abidin; Aksoy, Emre - 2015
This paper investigates the relationship between labor force participation rate and unemployment rate in Turkey a … developing country. Cointegration analysis is carried out for the aggregate and gender and age specific series. The findings … indicate that there is no long-run relationship between labor force participation and unemployment rates in Turkey. Thus …

Output-employment relationship across sectors : a long- versus short-run perspective
Şahin, Afşin; Tansel, Aysıt; Berument, Hakan - 2013
This paper investigates the nature of the output-employment relationship by using the Turkish quarterly data for the period 1988-2008. Even if we fail to find a long-run relationship between aggregate output and total employment, there are long-run relationships for the aggregate output with...

Exponent of cross-sectional dependence : estimation and inference
Bailey, Natalia; Kapetanios, George; Pesaran, M. Hashem - 2012
An important issue in the analysis of cross-sectional dependence which has received renewed interest in the past few years is the need for a better understanding of the extent and nature of such cross dependencies. In this paper we focus on measures of cross-sectional dependence and how such...

Intercept estimation in nonlinear selection models
Arulampalam, Wiji; Corradi, Valentina; Gutknecht, Daniel - 2021
We propose various semiparametric estimators for nonlinear selection models, where slope and intercept can be separately identifed. When the selection equation satisfies a monotonic index restriction, we suggest a local polynomial estimator, using only observations for which the marginal...

VC : a method for estimating time-varying coefficients in linear models
Schlicht, Ekkehart - 2020
This paper describes a moments estimator for a standard state-space model with coefficients generated by a random walk. A penalized least squares estimation is linked to the GLS (Aitken) estimates of the corresponding linear model with time-invariant parameters. The VC estimates are moments...

The rise of the East and the Far East : German labor markets and trade integration
Dauth, Wolfgang; Findeisen, Sebastian; Südekum, Jens - 2012
We analyze the effects of the unprecedented rise in trade between Germany and "the East" - China and Eastern Europe - in the period 1988-2008 on German local labor markets. Using detailed administrative data, we exploit the cross-regional variation in initial industry structures and use trade...

An empirical growth model for major oil exporters
Esfahani, Hadi Salehi; Mohaddes, Kamiar; Pesaran, M. Hashem - 2012
This paper develops a long-run growth model for a major oil exporting economy and derives conditions under which oil revenues are likely to have a lasting impact. This approach contrasts with the standard literature on the "Dutch disease" and the "resource curse", which primarily focuses on...

Export-led growth after COVID-19: the case of Portugal
Naudé, Wim; Cameron, Martin - 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted trade and global value chains. Small open economies such as Portugal are particularly vulnerable. In this paper we consider the impact of the pandemic on the country's exports, arguing that an export-led recovery is possible. The challenge is to identify...
