Some Reflections on Trend-Cycle Decompositions with Correlated Components

Proietti, Tommaso - EconWPA - 2002

This paper discusses a few interpretative issues arising from trend- cycle decompositions with correlated components. We determine the conditions under which correlated components may originate from: underestimation of the cyclical component; a cycle in growth rates, rather than in the levels;...

Sources of Health Inequality for Irish Women

Madden, David - School of Economics, University College Dublin - 2002

This paper calculates the concentration index for self-assessed health for a sample of Irish women. It then decomposes the index to investigate the sources of this inequality using both a health production function and reduced form approach. Using the health production function approach it finds...

An Iterative Plug-In Algorithm for Nonparametric Modelling of Seasonal Time Series

Feng, Yuanhua - Zentrum für Finanzen und Ökonometrie, Fachbereich … - 2002

This paper focuses on developing a new data-driven procedure for decomposing seasonal time series based on local regression. Formula of the asymptotic optimal bandwidth hA in the current context is given. Methods for estimating the unknowns in hA are investigated. A data-driven algorithm for...
