Efficient structure of noisy communication networks
Breitmoser, Yves; Vorjohann, Pauline - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2012
In the canonical network model, the connections model, only three specific network structures are generically efficient: complete, empty, and star networks. This renders many plausible network structures inefficient. We show that requiring robustness with respect to stochastic transmission...

Likelihood approach to dynamic panel models with interactive effects
Bai, Jushan - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2013
This paper considers dynamic panel models with a factor error structure that is correlated with the regressors. Both short panels (small T) and long panels (large T) are considered. With a small T, consistent estimation requires either a suitable formulation of the reduced form or an appropriate...
