Interpreting productivity growth in the new economy : some agnostic notes
Gundlach, Erich - 2001
The growth rate of total factor productivity seems to have increased recently, at least in the United States. Higher US productivity growth may justify higher stock market valuations than in the past and thus herald an emerging New Economy. However, the size of the estimated growth rate of total...

The effects of variance breaks on homogenous panel unit root tests
Herwartz, Helmut; Siedenburg, Florian - 2009
Noting that many economic variables display occasional shifts in their second order moments, we investigate the performance of homogenous panel unit root tests in the presence of permanent volatility shifts. It is shown that in this case, panel unit root tests derived under time invariant...

State dependence in the finance-growth nexus : a functional coefficient approach
Herwartz, Helmut; Yabibal Mulualem Walle - 2013
Noting that "one size does not fit all" in the case of the finance-growth (FG) nexus, a growing body of literature has recently focused on uncovering economic conditions under which financial development could be beneficial (detrimental) to economic development. We look into these conditions by...

The Solow model in the empirics of growth and trade
Gundlach, Erich (contributor) - 2006
Translated to a cross-country context, the Solow model (Solow, 1956) predicts that international differences in steady state output per person are due to international differences in technology for a constant capital output ratio. However, most of the cross-country growth literature that refers...

A new approach to bootstrap inference in functional coefficient models
Herwartz, Helmut (contributor); Fang, Xu (contributor) - 2007
We introduce a new, factor based bootstrap approach which is robust under heteroskedastic error terms for inference in functional coefficient models. Modeling the functional coefficient parametrically, the bootstrap approximation of an F statistic is shown to hold asymptotically. In simulation...

The primacy of institutions reconsidered : the effects of malaria prevalence in the empirics of development
Carstensen, Kai; Gundlach, Erich - 2005 - Revised, August 2005
Some recent empirical studies deny any direct performance effects of measures of geography and conclude that institutions trump all other potential determinants of development. For given effects of institutional quality, our empirical results indicate quantitatively important direct negative...
