Considering that the major part of greenhouse gases is carbon dioxide, there is a global concern aimed at reducing carbon emissions. Additionally, major consumer countries are looking for alternative sources of energy to avoid the impact of higher fossil fuel prices and political instability in...

The unprecedented deterioration of our global environment has increased the necessity of relying upon Green Economic policies as critical and effective environmental management tools. The current situation has stimulated extensive research and debate among global interest groups. This has...

This paper extends the work of Baltagi et al. (2018) to the popular dynamic panel data model. We investigate the … robustness of Bayesian panel data models to possible misspecication of the prior distribution. The proposed robust Bayesian … specifications which includes the dynamic panel model with random effects, with cross-correlated effects à la Chamberlain, for the …

We derive theoretical conditions … reconciling changes in inequality together with various measures of convergent/divergent panel income changes. For a large number … of inequality indices, as well as for Lorenz curves: we show that rising inequality can coexist with convergent panel …

We propose a novel procedure, built within a Generalized Method of Moments framework, which exploits unpaired observations (singletons) to increase the efficiency of longitudinal fixed effect estimates. The approach allows increasing estimation efficiency, while properly tackling the bias due to...

This paper starts from a review of RCT studies in development economics, and documents many studies largely ignore attrition once attrition rates are found balanced between treatment arms. The paper analyzes the implications of attrition for the internal and external validity of the results of a...

Models with high dimensional sets of fixed effects are frequently used to examine, among others, linked employer-employee data, student outcomes and migration. Estimating these models is computationally difficult, so simplifying assumptions that are likely to cause bias are often invoked to make...
