Mandatory costs by firm size thresholds: firm location, growth and death in Sri Lanka

Abidoye, Babatunde; Orazem, Peter; Vodopivec, Milan - In: IZA Journal of Labor & Development 3 (2014) 1, pp. 1-20

<Para ID="Par1">Sri Lanka’s Termination of Employment of Workmen Act (TEWA) requires that firms with 15 or more workers justify layoffs and provide generous severance pay to displaced workers, with smaller firms being exempted. Although formally subject to TEWA, firms in Export Promotion Zones (EPZs) do not...</para>

Threshold effects of technological regimes for the stochastic frontier model

Chen, Ku-Hsieh; Author: Soumendra N. Ghosh - In: Journal of Developing Areas 48 (2014) 2, pp. 223-253

In the domain of measuring productivity, the stochastic frontier (SF) model has advanced in leaps and bounds and attracted a large amount of academic attention. Inherently, the model utilises input/output combinations of production units as references to construct a frontier for measuring...

The Impact of Jumps and Leverage in Forecasting Co-Volatility

Asai, Manabu; McAleer, Michael - Tinbergen Instituut - 2015

The paper investigates the impact of jumps in forecasting co-volatility, accommodating leverage effects. We modify the jump-robust two time scale covariance estimator of Boudt and Zhang (2013)such that the estimated matrix is positive definite. Using this approach we can disentangle the...

Effects of Threshold Uncertainty on Common-Pool Resources

Mandelbaum, Adler; E, Sara - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2014

games designed to model common-pools in which there existed such a threshold: one with complete information of the threshold …, one with incomplete information of the threshold and one with sporadically enforced targets. By design the true threshold … was unknown to the players in the role of policymaker, and the guesses of the threshold value were allowed to change …

Multivariate Contemporaneous-Threshold Autoregressive Models

Dueker, Michael J.; Psaradakis, Zacharias; Sola, Martin; … - Departament d'Economia i Història Econòmica, … - 2010

This paper proposes a contemporaneous-threshold multivariate smooth transition autoregressive (C-MSTAR) model in which … the regime weights depend on the ex ante probabilities that latent regime-specific variables exceed certain threshold …

State-Dependent Threshold STAR Models

Dueker, Michael J.; Psaradakis, Zacharias; Sola, Martin; … - Departament d'Economia i Història Econòmica, … - 2010

threshold is a time-varying function of variables that affect the separation of regimes of the time series under consideration … best thought of in relative terms. State-dependent logistic STAR and contemporaneous-threshold STAR models are introduced … threshold is allowed to be a function of past output growth and inflation. …

Estimating a bivariate density when there are extra data on one or both components

Hall, Peter; Neumeyer, Natalie - Institut für Wirtschafts- und Sozialstatistik, … - 2005

Assume we have a dataset, Z say, from the joint distribution of random variables X and Y , and two further, independent datasets, X and Y, from the marginal distributions of X and Y , respectively. We wish to combine X, Y and Z, so as to construct an estimator of the joint density. This problem...
