Tracing the spatial patterns of innovation determinants in regional economic performance
Olejnik, Alicja; Żółtaszek, Agata - In: Comparative economic research : Central and Eastern Europe 23 (2020) 4, pp. 87-108
In this paper, we investigate innovation factors and their role in regional economic performance for a sample of 261 EU NUTS 2 regions over the period 2009-2012. In our study, we identify regions with spillover as well as drain effects of innovation factors on economic performance. The spatial...

Penalized quantile regression with semiparametric correlated effects : applications with heterogeneous preferences
Harding, Matthew C.; Lamarche, Carlos - 2013
This paper proposes new ℓ1-penalized quantile regression estimators for panel data, which explicitly allows for individual heterogeneity associated with covariates. We conduct Monte Carlo simulations to assess the small sample performance of the new estimators and provide comparisons of new...

A quantile correlated random coefficients panel data model
Graham, Bryan S.; Hahn, Jinyong; Poirier, Alexandre; … - 2016
We propose a generalization of the linear quantile regression model to accommodate possibilities afforded by panel data. Specifically, we extend the correlated random coefficients representation of linear quantile regression (e.g., Koenker, 2005; Section 2.6). We show that panel data allows the...

Do developing countries benefit from foreign direct investments?
Razzak, Weshah A.; Bentour, El Mostafa - 2012
In addition to the wide believed positive effects on growth, employment and wages, FDIs are often perceived as sources of funds for development. Developing countries, especially low income and emerging economies, welcome FDIs because of their favorable budgetary implications. All that resulted...

Quantile regression with panel data
Graham, Bryan S.; Hahn, Jinyong; Poirier, Alexandre; … - 2015
We propose a generalization of the linear quantile regression model to accommodate possibilities afforded by panel data. Specifically, we extend the correlated random coefficients representation of linear quantile regression (e.g., Koenker, 2005; Section 2.6). We show that panel data allows the...

On the capital structure of foreign subsidiaries : evidence from a panel data quantile regression model
Miniaci, Raffaele; Panteghini, Paolo - 2021
This paper studies how variations in tax rates and profitability affect the (unconditional) quantiles of the distribution of the leverage of European foreign owned subsidiaries in the presence of unobserved company characteristics, possibly correlated with their observable dimensions. To achieve...

Pitfalls when estimating treatment effects using clustered data
MacKinnon, James G.; Webb, Matthew - 2017
Inference for estimates of treatment effects with clustered data requires great care when treatment is assigned at the group level. This is true for both pure treatment models and difference-in-differences regressions. Even when the number of clusters is quite large, cluster-robust standard...
