Goodbye smokers' corner : health effects of school smoking bans

Pfeifer, Gregor; Reutter, Mirjam; Strohmaier, Kristina - 2017

We estimate the causal impact of school smoking bans in Germany on the propensity and intensity of smoking. Using … such smoking bans to identify the effects of interest. The estimates from our multipledifferences approach show that six to … ten years after intervention, propensity towards smoking is reduced by 7-16 percent, while the number of smoked cigarettes …

Regional income convergence in Europe : a Bayesian model averaging perspective : 52th European Congress of the Regional Science Association International August 21-25, 2012, Bratis...

Gmeinder, Michael; Piribauer, Philipp; Schoiswohl, Florian - 2012

The speed of income convergence in Europe remains one of the hot topics in regional economics. Recently Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) applied to spatial autoregressive models seems to have gained more popularity. BMA averages over some predetermined number of so called top models, ranked by the...

A Bayesian spatial autoregressive logit model with an empirical application to European regional FDI flows

Krisztin, Tamás; Piribauer, Philipp - 2019

In this paper we propose a Bayesian estimation approach for a spatial autoregressive logit specification. Our approach relieson recent advances in Bayesian computing, making use of Pólya-Gamma sampling for Bayesian Markov-chain Monte Carlo algorithms.The proposed specification assumes that the...

Robust growth determinants

Doppelhofer, Gernot; Weeks, Melvyn - 2011

This paper investigates the robustness of determinants of economic growth in the presence of model uncertainty, parameter heterogeneity and outliers. The robust model averaging approach introduced in the paper uses a flexible and parsimonious mixture modeling that allows for fat-tailed errors...

The determinants of economic growth in European regions

Crespo Cuaresma, Jesús; Doppelhofer, Gernot; … - 2009

We use Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) to evaluate the robustness of determinants of economic growth in a new dataset of 255 European regions in the 1995-2005 period. We use three different specifications based on (1) the cross-section of regions, (2) the cross-section of regions with country...

Revisiting Inequality as a Determinant of Mortality : A Bayesian Model Averaging Approach

Schneider, Markus P. A. - 2016

The persistent correlations between income and mortality, and inequality and mortality in the US is well established. It has been demonstrated with various empirical models at different levels of analysis. However, there is no consensus on the relevant confounding factors or even the functional...

Measuring the effects of inflation and inflation uncertainty on output growth in the Central and Eastern European countries

Živkov, Dejan; Kovačević, Jelena; … - In: Baltic journal of economics 20 (2020) 2, pp. 218-242

This paper investigates how inflation and its uncertainty impact GDP growth in eight Central and Eastern European Countries. Inflation uncertainty series are created examining several GARCH models in combination with three different distribution functions, while the nonlinear effect of inflation...
