The Theoretical Regularity Properties of the Normalized Quadratic Consumer Demand Model

Barnett, William A.; Usui, Ikuyasu - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2006

We conduct a Monte Carlo study of the global regularity properties of the Normalized Quadratic model. We particularly investigate monotonicity violations, as well as the performance of methods of locally and globally imposing curvature. We find that monotonicity violations are especially likely...

Analysis of banking system efficiency in the European Union

Holló, Dániel; Nagy, Márton - In: MNB Bulletin 1 (2006) 1, pp. 21-26

In addition to aspects related to financial stability, the cost efficiency gap observed between the banking systems of the old and the new EU member states is also unfavourable from a welfare point of view. In the majority of new member states, banks are likely to price the relatively high rate...

Bank Efficiency in the Enlarged European Union

Holló, Dániel; Nagy, Márton - Magyar Nemzeti Bank (MNB) - 2006

This paper aims to estimate bank efficiency differences across member states of the European Union and tries to explain their causes. We show on an empirical basis that the level and spread of bank efficiency in the EU and their changes are significantly determined by characteristics of...

Bayesian Inferences on Fourier Flexible Functional Form in Agricultural Production

Featherstone, Allen M.; Cader, Hanas A. - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2005

Flexible functional forms are used to examine the characteristics of production technologies. The Fourier functional form is capable of approximating any function globally, with the specified expansion. Unfortunately the exact form of the expansion is not known. The regularity conditions are...

COUNTS WITH AN ENDOGENOUS BINARY REGRESSOR: A SERIES EXPANSION APPROACH

Romeu, Andrés; Vera-Hernández, Marcos - Instituto Valenciano de Investigaciones Económicas (IVIE) - 2004

We propose an estimator for count data regression models where a binary regressor is endogenously determined. This estimator departs from previous approaches by using a flexible form for the conditional probability function of the counts. Using a Monte Carlo experiment we show that our estimator...
