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...

The economics of terrorism and counter-terrorism : a survey (Part I)
Schneider, Friedrich; Brück, Tilman; Meierrieks, Daniel - 2010
This survey provides an in-depth analysis of existing research on the economic analysis of terrorism and counter-terrorist measures. First the existing evidence on the causes of terrorism is analyzed, then we consider the evidence of the consequences of terrorism and we demonstrate why it is...

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...

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...
