, such as a regression function, and treating it as a conditional expectation is central to its identification and estimation … identification related properties of this model when the unknown function mu* belongs to a linear space. We also investigate … underidentification of mu* along with the identification of its linear functionals. Several examples are provided in order to develop …

This paper investigates whether and in what sense the west German wage structure has been 'rigid' in the 1990s. To test the hypothesis that a rigid wage structure has been responsible for rising low-skilled unemployment, I propose a methodology which makes less restrictive identifying...

This paper studies the problem of nonparametric identification and estimation of binary threshold-crossing and binary … choice models. First, conditions are given that guarantee the nonparametric identification of both the function of exogenous … observable variables and the distribution of the random terms. Second, the identification results are employed to develop …

The partial adjustment model for cigarette demand in Tansel (1993) is formulated as a restriction on the more general VAR model. The question whether the Tansel estimation results are spurious as claimed by Cameron and Collins (1998) is addressed in this framework. The role of intervention...

In this paper we discuss the problem of identification in a model with cointegration. It is pointed out that there is … an identification problem for both long-run parameters and short-run parameters. The identification of the equations and … to be identifying is given. We also define empirical identification of an estimated structure. A switching algorithm for …

This paper explores the issues arising when the reduced form cointegrating vectors are obtained from an incomplete VAR with omitted endogenous variables. Reconsidering some Wickens' (1996) results, we show that the specification of an incomplete VAR model, based on variables of the reduced form...

Switzerland, traditionally a ‘zero unemployment’ economy, has seen an unprecedented rise in joblessness in the 1990s although unemployment fell again to a rather low level after 1997. This Paper tests whether Switzerland experienced a negative relative net demand shock against the low...
