The aim of this note is to present a root-N consistent estimator for the regression coefficients in a fixed-effects panel data sample selection model that has one selection equation and two regression equations. Other than the condition that the error terms satisfy a control function type of...

We develop a sieve bootstrap range test for poolability of cointegrating regressions in dependent panels and evaluate by simulation its performances. The test seems to have good size and power properties even with small cross-sections, moderate time samples, and low heterogeneity.

This paper applies the 0–1 test for chaos to returns from the German stock market, providing empirical evidence of chaotic structures in the returns of all DAX members. For noise reduction purposes, wavelet denoising is employed prior to the application of the 0–1 test.

The present paper shows that a DSGE model can be represented by a finite order VAR if and only if the eigenvalues of the matrix defined in Fernández-Villaverde et al. (2007) are all equal to zero. Further it shows that this condition is equivalent to the unimodularity condition presented...

This paper considers the theoretical justifications of Lütkpohl’s (1988) test statistics when the data-generating process is relaxed to be a stationary ARFIMA process. Under suitable regularity conditions, we prove the applicability of Lütkpohl’s (1988) method to the stationary ARFIMA (p,...

We extend Hansen’s (2005) test to testing hypotheses involving general inequality constraints where the variance–covariance matrix of the functions in the constraints depends on the unknown parameters. The test can be applied to a wider class of problems than Wolak’s (1991).

We investigate the impact of monetary conditions on stock market returns at different points on the return distributions. Our results reveal no association between stock returns and monetary environments at the lower quantiles. At the upper quantiles, however, we find that expansive monetary...

The U.S. prewar output series exhibit smaller shock-persistence than postwar-series. Some studies suggest that this may be due to linear interpolation used to generate missing prewar data. Monte Carlo simulations that support this view generate large standard-errors, making such inference...

In this paper, we consider a cointegrated panel data model with non-stationary common factors, which, because of its appeal in many economic applications, has received much attention in the recent literature. By deriving a Granger-type representation theorem, we obtain several equivalent model...

Pesaran and Yamagata (Pesaran, M.H., Yamagata, T., Testing slope homogeneity in large panels, Journal of Econometrics 142, 50–93, 2008) propose a test for slope homogeneity in large panels, which has become very popular in the literature. However, the test cannot deal with the practically...
