We estimate the causal effect of partisan media on voter behavior by exploiting a natural experiment in which Sky News Australia - a conservative 24-hour news channel - became freely available to 8 million people. Using comprehensive national polling-station-level electoral data and broadcast...

This paper considers a random search model where some locations provide sellers with better chances of meeting many buyers than other locations (for example popular shopping streets or the first page of a search engine). When sellers are heterogeneous in terms of the quality of their product...

Background It is a well-known phenomenon that nonlinearities that are inherent in the relationship among economic variables negatively affect the commonly used estimators in the econometric models. The nonlinearities cause an instability of the estimated parameters that, in particular, are...

A circularity of Information and Communication Systems (ICT) implies a sustainable design of associated management systems to comply with Cyber Security (CS), Information Security (IS) and Data Privacy (DP). Due to the rapidly changing of IT infrastructure and the variety of software systems,...

In this paper, we study the spatial dynamic panel data models with high-order time-varying endogenous weights matrices. To estimate the model, we propose a generalized method of moments (GMM) estimator. Compared to the traditional quasi-maximum likelihood (QML) estimator, GMM estimators can...
