Testing for and measuring habitual brand loyalty (HBL) is one of the classic questions in quantitative marketing. We propose a nonparametric test for HBL using a ``dynamic potential outcomes'' model that resolves the classic identification challenge of decoupling state dependence and unobserved...

We assess the bias and the efficiency of state-of-the-art dynamic panel data estimators by means of model-based Monte Carlo simulations. The underlying data-generating process consists of a standard theoretical growth model of income convergence based on capital accumulation. While we impose a...

Path forecasts, defined as sequences of individual forecasts, generated by vector autoregressions are widely used in applied work. It has been recognized that a profound econometric analysis often requires, besides the path forecast, a joint prediction region that contains the whole future path...
