FDI convergence and Spatial Dependence between Chinese Provinces

Tanimoune, Nasser Ary; Renard, Mary-Françoise - HAL - 2011

This study aims at investigating the spatial dimension of the FDI. Considering the distribution of FDI between the provinces, our purpose is the spatial dependency that may be observed. Using data for 1992-2002, we find that taking into account the regional specification induces significant FDI...

Regional Growth and Convergence: Heterogenous reaction versus interaction in spatial econometric approaches

Ertur, Cem; Gallo, Julie Le - HAL - 2008

This paper presents various approaches dealing with heterogeneous reaction combined with interaction between neighboring units of observation developed in the spatial econometric literature, in the framework of cross-sectional models, and applied to the study of growth and convergence processes....

Large sample properties of the matrix exponential spatial specification with an application to FDI

Debarsy, Nicolas; Jin, Fei; Lee, Lung-Fei - HAL - 2014

This paper studies large sample properties of the matrix exponential spatial specification (MESS). We find that the quasi-maximum likelihood estimator (QMLE) for the MESS is consistent under heteroskedasticity, a property not shared by the QMLE of the SAR model. For the general model that has...

Heterogeneity matters: labour productivity differentiated by age and skills

Roger, Muriel; Wasmer, Malgorzata - HAL - 2009

This study aims at evaluating the actual profile of marginal productivity across the age groups within the workforce. As age-productivity profile might differ between occupations, we differentiate the workforce simultaneously by skills (low-skilled, high-skilled) and by age (young, middle-aged,...

High-dimensional instrumental variables regression and confidence sets

Gautier, Eric; Tsybakov, Alexandre - HAL - 2014

We propose an instrumental variables method for inference in high-dimensional structural equations with endogenous regressors. The number of regressors K can be much larger than the sample size. A key ingredient is sparsity, i.e., the vector of coefficients has many zeros, or approximate...

Cooperation among local governments to deliver public services : a "structural" bivariate response model with fixed effects and endogenous covariate

Porto, Edoardo Di; Merlin, Vincent; Paty, Sonia - HAL - 2013

Cooperation among local governments has been encouraged to enable the aggregation of resources and improved public sector efficiency. However, if cooperation through the joint delivery of local public services is likely to be welfare enhancing for the agglomeration, but will lead to losses for...

Mimic Behavior in Home Waste-waters Management

Polomé, Philippe - HAL - 2013

relatives' discarding behavior. We use Dong's endogeneity test [7] to show that that regressor is not endogenous. We argue that …

A Test for Endogeneity in Conditional Quantiles

Kim, Tae-Hwan; Muller, Christophe - HAL - 2013

In this paper, we develop a test to detect the presence of endogeneity in conditional quantiles. Our test is a Hausman …-type test based on the distance between two estimators, of which one is consistent only under no endogeneity while the other is … consistent regardless of the presence of endogeneity in conditional quantile models. We derive the asymptotic distribution of the …
