This paper analyzes the effect of time aggregation on estimates of the elasticities of output with respect to employment and to average hours of work. The main goal is to get accurate estimates of production function parameters. Low frequency data generate better estimates of output- employment...

For a time series generated by polynomial trend with stationary long-memory errors, the ordinary least squares estimator (OLSE) of the trend coefficients is asymptotically normal, provided the error process is linear. The asymptotic distribution may no longer be normal, if the error is in the...

This article presents a computationally efficient approach to sample from Gaussian state space models. The method is an instance of precision-based sampling methods that operate on the inverse variance-covariance matrix of the states (also known as precision). The novelty is to handle cases...
