Homeownership is heavily subsidized in many countries mainly through the tax code. The adverse effects of lenient tax treatment of owner-occupied housing on economic efficiency and growth are large and well documented in the economics literature. The main argument in favor of subsidizing...

A system of multivariate semiparametric nonlinear time series models is studied with possible dependence structures and nonstationarities in the parametric and nonparametric components. The parametric regressors may be endogenous while the nonparametric regressors are assumed to be strictly...

This paper considers several estimators for estimating the biasing parameter in the study of partial linear models in the presence of multicollinearity. After exhibiting the MSE of ridge estimator based on eigenvalues of design matrix, a simulation study has been conducted to compare the...
