least squares estimation, using either Fully Modified, Dynamic or Integrated Modified OLS. The procedure is inspired by Chu … et al. (1996) in that it is based on parameter estimation only on a pre-break ``calibration'' period rather than being … based on sequential estimation over the full sample. We investigate the asymptotic behavior of the procedures under the null …

This paper considers estimation methods and inference for linear dynamic panel data models with unit …-invariant variables in a dynamic version of the Hausman and Taylor (1981) model. We propose a two-stage estimation procedure to identify … errors are adjusted to take into account the first-stage estimation uncertainty. As potential first-stage estimators we …

The paper considers two rival models referring to the new macroeconomic consensus: a standard three-equations model of the New-Keynesian variety and dynamic adjustments of a business and an inflation climate in an `Old-Keynesian' tradition. Over the two subperiods of the Great Inflation and...

Mixed-data sampling (MIDAS) regressions allow to estimate dynamic equations that explain a low-frequency variable by … the estimation approach. A real-time application to the relationship between daily corporate bond spreads and quarterly …

Apart from a priori assumptions on instantaneous or long run effects of structural shocks, sign restrictions have become a prominent means for structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) analysis. Moreover, second order heterogeneity of systems of times series can be fruitfully exploited for...

This paper argues that typical applications of panel unit root tests should take possible nonstationarity in the volatility process of the innovations of the panel time series into account. Nonstationarity volatility arises for instance when there are structural breaks in the innovation...

The use of large datasets for macroeconomic forecasting has received a great deal of interest recently. Boosting is one possible method of using high-dimensional data for this purpose. It is a stage-wise additive modelling procedure, which, in a linear specification, becomes a variable selection...
