Innovations, be they radical new products or technology improvements are widely recognized as a key factor of economic growth. To identify the factors triggering innovative activities is a main concern for economic theory and empirical analysis. As the number of hypotheses is large, the process...

Political economy literature acknowledges the importance of democratic learning and of fiscal rules in preventing politically driven deficits. This paper investigates the role of these factors for the Political Budget Cycles in the ten Central and East European (CEE) countries from 1990 to 2010....

A new method is introduced for panel-data models. Asymptotic robustness is used for a multivariate model with latent variables for a family of estimators. It is shown numerically that in comparison to standard methods we obtain: 1) better predictions in out-of-sample occasions; 2) smaller...
