Achievement rank affects performance and major choices in college
Elsner, Benjamin; Isphording, Ingo Eduard; Zölitz, Ulf - 2021
This paper studies how a student's ordinal rank in a peer group affects performance and specialisation choices in university. By exploiting data with repeated random assignment of students to teaching sections, we find that a higher rank increases performance and the probability of choosing...

On the identification of multivariate correlated unobserved components models
Trenkler, Carsten; Weber, Enzo - 2015
This paper analyses identification for multivariate unobserved components models in which the innovations to trend and cycle are correlated. We address order and rank criteria as well as potential non-uniqueness of the reduced-form VARMA model. Identification is shown for lag lengths larger than...
