This paper challenges two clichés that have dominated the macroeconometric debates in India. One relates to the neoclassical view that deficits are detrimental to growth, as they increase the rate of interest, and in turn displace the interest-rate-sensitive components of private investment....

We report a simulation study where we want to consider a fairly simple data generating process (DGP) used in Nordman and Lahiri (JASA, 2012) with a single fixed regressor and regression errors produced by simple AR(1) processes. We focus on the estimation of standard errors of regression...

While moving block bootstrap (MBB) has been used for mildly dependent (m-dependent) time series, maximum entropy (ME) bootstrap (meboot) is perhaps the only tool for inference involving perfectly dependent, nonstationary time series, possibly subject to jumps, regime changes and gaps. This brief...

The R package for maximum entropy bootstrap (meboot) is widely used for numerous applications involving statistical inference for time series data without having to do differencing or de-trending. We report some simulations confirming its effectiveness. It has been used for simulating time...
