The exporter productivity premium along the productivity distribution : first evidence from a quantile regression approach for fixed effects panel data models
Powell, David; Wagner, Joachim - 2010
An emerging literature on international activities of heterogeneous firms documents that exporting firms are more productive than firms that only sell on the national market. This positive exporter productivity premium shows up in a large number of empirical studies after controlling for...

Løken, Katrine V.; Mogstad, Magne; Wiswall, Matthew - 2010
This paper uses a rich Norwegian dataset to re-examine the causal relationship between family income and child outcomes. Motivated by theoretical predictions and OLS results that suggest a nonlinear relationship, we depart from previous studies in allowing the marginal effects on children’s...

Does the euro make a difference? : spatio-temporal transmission of global shocks to real effective exchange rates in an infinite VAR
Bussière, Matthieu; Chudik, Alexander; Mehl, Arnaud - 2011
This paper provides evidence on whether the creation of the euro has changed the way global turbulences affect euro area and other economies. Specifically, it considers the impact of global shocks on the competitiveness of individual euro area countries and assesses whether their responses to...

Regional spillovers and spatial heterogeneity in matching workers and employers in Germany
Kosfeld, Reinhold (contributor) - 2006
uncover the effectiveness at which workers are matched to available jobs. A spatially augmented matching function is backed by … assuming the process of job matching to be homogenous across space. This study shows that this supposition is not valid for the … matching process. Spatial heterogeneity is additionally found on the level of German macroregions. Though matching efficiency …

Forecasting the prices and rents for flats in large German cities
Cholodilin, Konstantin Arkadʹevič; Mense, Andreas - 2012
In this paper, we make multi-step forecasts of the monthly growth rates of the prices and rents for flats in 26 largest German cities. Given the small time dimension, the forecasts are done in a panel-data format. In addition, we use panel models that account for spatial dependence between the...

Immigrant heterogeneity and the earnings distribution in the United Kingdom and United States : new evidence from a panel data quantile regression analysis
Billger, Sherrilyn M.; Lamarche, Carlos - 2010
In this paper we use a relatively new panel data quantile regression technique to examine native-immigrant earnings differentials 1) throughout the conditional wage distribution, and 2) controlling for individual heterogeneity. No previous papers have simultaneously considered these factors. We...
