Impact Evaluation of Multiple Overlapping Programs using Difference-in-differences with Matching

Nguyen Viet, Cuong - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2008

Difference-in-differences with matching is a popular method in impact evaluation. Traditional impact evaluation methods … including difference-in-differences with matching often deal with impact measurement of a single binary program. Imbens (1999 …) and Lechner (2001) extend the matching method to the case of multiple mutually exclusive programs. Frölich (2002 …

Maximum likelihood estimation of a stochastic frontier model with residual covariance

Simwaka, Kisu - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2012

In theoretical literature on productivity, the disturbance terms of the stochastic frontier model are assumed to be independent random variables. In this paper, we consider a stochastic production frontier model with residuals that are both spatially and time-wise correlated. We introduce...

The Effects of Polish Special Economic Zones on Employment and Investment: Spatial Panel Modelling Perspective.

Cizkowicz, Piotr; Cizkowicz-Pekala, Magda; Pekala, Piotr; … - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2015

We estimate the set of panel and spatial panel data models of employment and investments for 379 Polish counties over the period 2003-2012. We take advantage of a unique firm-level dataset for Polish Special Economic Zones (SSEs), which includes about 30,000 observations. We find that SSEs have...

Systems GMM estimates of the Feldstein-Horioka puzzle for the OECD countries and tests for structural breaks

Rao, B. Bhaskara; Tamazian, Artur; Kumar, Saten - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2009

A systems GMM estimation method is used to estimate the Feldstein-Horioka equation from 1960-2007 with a panel of 12 OECD countries. It is found that the Feldstein-Horioka puzzle exists in a weaker form with a much reduced saving retention coefficient. The Bretton Woods agreement in particular...
