Exponent of cross-sectional dependence: Estimation and inference

Bailey, Natalia; Kapetanios, George; Pesaran, 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...

Efficient probit estimation with partially missing covariates

Conniffe, Denis; O'Neill, Donal - 2009

A common approach to dealing with missing data is to estimate the model on the common subset of data, by necessity throwing away potentially useful data. We derive a new probit type estimator for models with missing covariate data where the dependent variable is binary. For the benchmark case of...

Modelling volatilities and conditional correlations in futures markets with a multivariate t distribution

Pesaran, Bahram; Pesaran, Mohammad Hashem - 2007

This paper considers a multivariate t version of the Gaussian dynamic conditional correlation (DCC) model proposed by … than by GARCH type volatility estimates. The t-DCC estimation procedure is applied to a portfolio of daily returns on …-DCC specification. The t-DCC model also passes a number of VaR diagnostic tests over an evaluation sample. The estimation results …

Testing the correlated random coefficient model

Heckman, James Joseph; Schmierer, Daniel; Urzúa, Sergio - 2009

The recent literature on instrumental variables (IV) features models in which agents sort into treatment status on the basis of gains from treatment as well as on baseline-pretreatment levels. Components of the gains known to the agents and acted on by them may not be known by the observing...

Examining the Impact of Macro-Economic Conditions on Income Inequality

Jäntti, Markus; Jenkins, Stephen P. - 2001

This paper proposes a new approach for analyzing the relationship between macroeconomic factors and the income distribution. The conventional method of analysis is regression of summary inequality indices on variables such as the unemployment and inflation rates. Building on the lessons from...

Identification of the covariance structure of earnings using the GMM estimator

Doris, Aedín; O'Neill, Donal; Sweetman, Olive - 2010

In this paper we study the performance of the GMM estimator in the context of the covariance structure of earnings. Using analytical and Monte Carlo techniques we examine the sensitivity of parameter identification to key features such as panel length, sample size, the degree of persistence of...

Severance Pay and Corporate Finance : Empirical Evidence from a Panel of Austrian and Italian Firms

Cardinale, Mirko; Orszag, Mike - 2004

This paper examines the empirical link between severance pay and corporate finance. Severance pay is an economic debt of the employer and hence should be taken into account by the market in its assessments of risk. Using a hand collected dataset of accounting data from Italy and Austria we find...
