Biases in Fiscal Multiplier Estimates
Asatryan, Zareh - 2019
The "true" size of fiscal multipliers is widely debated by economists and policy makers as large (small) multipliers provide arguments to expand (cut) public spending. Within a meta-analytical framework, we ask whether the large observed variance in multiplier estimates can be explained by the...

Estimation of Stochastic Frontier Panel Data Models with Spatial Inefficiency
Belotti, Federico - 2019
This paper proposes a stochastic frontier panel data model in which unit-specific inefficiencies are spatially correlated. In particular, this model has simultaneously three important features: i) the total inefficiency of a productive unit depends on its own inefficiency and on the inefficiency...

Efficiency Loss of Asymptotically Efficient Tests in an Instrumental Variables Regression
Ridder, Geert - 2019
In a model with endogenous regressors, heteroskedastic and autocorrelated (HAC) errors and weak instruments, tests that depend on the data only through the Anderson-Rubin (AR) and Lagrange Multiplier (LM) statistics ignore important information on the regression coefficients. This is in contrast...
