Testing the Grossman model of medical spending determinants with macroeconomic panel data

Hartwig, Jochen; Sturm, Jan-Egbert - 2017 - This version: February 2017

Michael Grossman's human capital model of the demand for health has been argued to be one of the major achievements in theoretical health economics. Attempts to test this model empirically have been sparse, however, and with mixed results. These attempts so far relied on using - mostly...

A diagnostic criterion for approximate factor structure

Gagliardini, Patrick; Ossola, Elisa; Scaillet, Olivier - 2016 - This version: July 2016

We build a simple diagnostic criterion for approximate factor structure in large panel datasets. Given observable factors, the criterion checks whether the errors are weakly cross-sectionally correlated or share at least one unobservable common factor (interactive effects). A general version...

Determining the number of groups in latent panel structures with an application to income and democracy

Lu, Xun; Su, Liangjun - In: Quantitative economics : QE ; journal of the … 8 (2017) 3, pp. 729-760

We consider a latent group panel structure as recently studied by Su, Shi, and Phillips (2016), where the number of groups is unknown and has to be determined empirically. We propose a testing procedure to determine the number of groups. Our test is a residual-based Lagrange multiplier-type...

Exchange rate pass-through to import prices in Europe : a panel cointegration approach

Arsova, Antonia - 2019

This paper takes a panel cointegration approach to the estimation of short- and long-run exchange rate pass-through (ERPT) to import prices in the European countries. Although economic theory suggests a long-run relationship between import prices and exchange rate, in recent empirical studies...

Testing for unit roots in nonlinear dynamic heterogeneous panels

He, Changli (contributor); Sandberg, Rickard (contributor) - 2005 - [Elektronische Ressource]

In this paper we present a unit root test against a nonlinear dynamic heterogenous panel with each cross section modelled as an LSTAR model. All parameters are viewed as cross section specific. We allow for serially correlated residuals over time and heterogenous variance among cross sections....

Inference for unit roots in a panel smooth transition autoregressive model where the time dimension is fixed

He, Changli (contributor); Sandberg, Rickard (contributor) - 2005 - [Elektronische Ressource], Rev. February 18, 2005

In this paper we derive a unit root test against a Panel Logistic Smooth Transition Autoregressive (PLSTAR). The analysis is concentrated on the case where the time dimension is fixed and the cross section dimension tends to infinity. Under the null hypothesis of a unit root, we show that the...

The effects of variance breaks on homogenous panel unit root tests

Herwartz, Helmut; Siedenburg, Florian - 2009

Noting that many economic variables display occasional shifts in their second order moments, we investigate the performance of homogenous panel unit root tests in the presence of permanent volatility shifts. It is shown that in this case, panel unit root tests derived under time invariant...

An intersection test for panel unit roots

Hanck, Christoph - 2008

This paper proposes a new panel unit root test based on Simes' [Biometrika 1986, An Improved Bonferroni Procedure for Multiple Tests of Significanceʺ] classical intersection test. The test is robust to general patterns of cross-sectional dependence and yet straightforward to implement, only...

A generalized spatial panel data model with random effects

Baltagi, Badi H.; Egger, Peter; Pfaffermayr, Michael - 2012

This paper proposes a generalized panel data model with random effects and first-order spatially autocorrelated residuals that encompasses two previously suggested specifications. The first one is described in Anselin's (1988) book and the second one by Kapoor, Kelejian, and Prucha (2007). Our...
