A Monte Carlo procedure for checking identification in DSGE models

Le, Vo Phuong Mai; Minford, Patrick; Wickens, Michael - 2013

We propose a numerical method, based on indirect inference, for checking the identification of a DSGE model. Monte Carlo samples are generated from the model's true structural parameters and a VAR approximation to the reduced form estimated for each sample. We then search for a different set of...

Estimating production functions with robustness against errors in the proxy variables

Huang, Guofang; Hu, Yingyao - 2011

This paper proposes a new semi-nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation method for estimating production functions. The method extends the literature on structural estimation of production functions, started by the seminal work of Olley and Pakes (1996), by relaxing the scalar-unobservable...

Nichtparametrische Quantilsprognose und ihre Anwendung auf Aktienrenditen

Abberger, Klaus - 1995

In diesem Aufsatz wird die nichtparametrische Autoregression auf die Prognose von Quantilen angewendet. Verfahren der Kernregression werden benutzt, um zu autoregressiven Quantiisschätzern zu gelangen. Da die üblichen Maße zur Beurteilung der Prognose, wie etwa der mittlere quadratische...

Employment risk and optimal trade policies

Choi, Eun Kwan; Chen, Jiong - 1997

This paper considers trade policies and welfare in a Harris-Todaro model with risk averse workers. Workers are assumed to have identical and homothetic preferences, but their incomes differ, depending on whether and where they are employed. When workers are equally weighted, maximizing social...

Testing the Ricardian trade theory

Kukuk, Martin - 1990

The simple Ricardian model explains the comparative cost advantage by a relative productivity advantage of the single factor of production. This model is tested in this paper using microdata of the german business survey. In a first approach labour is being considered to be the only factor of...
