World coffee prices may have crucial implications on domestic prices of coffee. However, empirical evidence on the effect of world coffee prices on the price of coffee traded at the Ethiopian Commodity Exchange (ECX) is very scant. The main objective of this study is to analyze the response of...

We extend LeSage and Pace's (2008) spatial autoregressive model for origin-destination flows by accommodating two-way fixed effects. Those fixed effects represent unobserved characteristics of origin and destination units. A partial likelihood approach is used to remove fixed effects in the...

Autoregressive (AR) model and conditional autoregressive (CAR) model are specific regressive models in which independent variables and dependent variable imply the same object. They are powerful statistical tools to predict values based on correlation of time domain and space domain, which are...

We introduce a new class of semiparametric dynamic autoregressive models for the Amihud illiquidity measure, which captures both the long-run trend in the illiquidity series with a nonparametric component and the short-run dynamics with an autoregressive component. We develop a GMM estimator...
