This paper provides a detailed assessment of the real‐time forecast accuracy of a wide range of vector autoregressive models that allow for both structural change and indicators sampled at different frequencies. We extend the literature by evaluating a mixed‐frequency time‐varying...

Labor economists increasingly work in empirical contexts with large numbers of unit-specific parameters. These settings include a growing number of value-added studies measuring causal effects of individual units like firms, managers, neighborhoods, teachers, schools, doctors, hospitals, police...

This paper proposes the use of Bayesian inference techniques to search for and obtain valid instruments in dynamic panel data models where endogenous variables may exist. The use of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) allows for obtaining a reduced number of instruments in comparison to the high...
