This paper uses an Empirical Bayes approach to estimate the conditional mean function of a Poisson regression model, evaluated at counterfactual values of time-invariant unobserved covariates. The application that motivates and illustrates the methods developed herein is the use of deadly force...

Wie könnte die Alterssicherung im Jahr 2030 aussehen? Diese Arbeit verbindet die privaten Haushalte, den Produktionssektor, die Rentenversicherung und die Bevölkerungsentwicklung in einem allgemeinen Gleichgewichtsmodell und analysiert die makroökonomischen Auswirkungen des demographischen...

We study the small sample properties of conditional quantile estimators such as classical and IV quantile regression. First, we propose a higher-order analytical framework for comparing competing estimators in small samples and assessing the accuracy of common inference procedures. Our framework...

I apply the model with unobserved components and stochastic volatility (UC-SV) to forecast the Russian consumer price index. I extend the model which was previously suggested as a model for inflation forecasting in the USA to take into account a possible difference in model parameters and...
