Econometric causality
Heckman, James Joseph - 2008
This paper presents the econometric approach to causal modeling. It is motivated by policy problems. New causal parameters are defined and identified to address specific policy problems. Economists embrace a scientific approach to causality and model the preferences and choices of agents to...

The problem of negatives generated by the commodity technology model in input-output analysis: A review of the solutions
ten Raa, Thijs; Rueda-Cantuche, José - In: Journal of Economic Structures 2 (2013), pp. 1-14
Many economic models (e.g., computable general equilibrium models, econometric input-output models) revolve around a matrix of technical coefficients. However, these matrices can be estimated only once every 5 years as long as they are calculated from input-output tables and these are only...

A software framework for data based analysis
Krätzig, Markus - 2005
This paper presents the software framework JStatCom which is geared towards the development of rich GUI clients for numerical procedures. The concept is to solve all recurring tasks with the help of reusable Java components. Optionally, one can delegate the execution of special numerical...

Voluntary turnover: What we measure and what it (really) means
Will, Matthias Georg - 2017
In this paper, we run regression analyses to explain voluntary turnover intentions with data from more than 5,000 employees and with about 250 explanatory variables. The findings of our multi-factor approach highlight the fact that previous empirical research might have over-estimated the impact...

Measurement forms the substance of econometrics. This chapter outlines the history of econometrics from a measurement … perspective - how have measurement errors been dealt with and how, from a methodological standpoint, did econometrics evolve so as … to represent theory more adequately in relation to data? The evolution is organized in terms of four phases: 'theory and …

Inference about non-identified SVARs
Giacomini, Raffaella; Kitagawa, Toru - 2014
We propose a method for conducting inference on impulse responses in structural vector autoregressions (SVARs) when the impulse response is not point identified because the number of equality restrictions one can credibly impose is not sufficient for point identification and/or one imposes sign...

Robust Bayesian inference in proxy SVARs
Giacomini, Raffaella; Kitagawa, Toru; Read, Matthew - 2020
We develop methods for robust Bayesian inference in structural vector autoregressions (SVARs) where the parameters of interest are set-identified using external instruments, or 'proxy SVARs'. Set-identification in these models typically occurs when there are multiple instruments for multiple...
