We investigate identification issues in DSGE models and their consequences for parameter estimation and model … equivalence, partial and weak identification problems are widespread and typically produced by an ill-behaved mapping between the … structural parameters and the coefficients of the solution. Different objective functions affect identification and small samples …

In this Paper we study identification in dynamic factor models and argue that factor models are better suited than VARs … be small, so that only a few restrictions are needed to reach identification. Economic interpretation is then easier. On …

In this study we derive a structural econometric model of learning by doing with multiproduct competition from a dynamic oligopoly game. We show the importance to account for multiproduction effects through product differentiation when measuring learning by doing. Using quarterly firm-level data...

The theoretical literature on endogenous growth and international trade suggests that comparative advantage is endogenous. Sector-specific learning by doing and technology transfer respectively provide reasons why initial patterns of international specialization may persist or exhibit mobility...

An important question in international finance is to what extent stock return volatility is influenced by country location, industry affiliation, and global factors. This Paper develops a new methodology to measure these effects, in which portfolios mimicking ‘pure’ country and industry...

This paper proposes a measure of dynamic comovement between (possibly many) time series and names it cohesion. The measure is defined in the frequency domain and is appropriate for processes that are costationary, possibly after suitable transformations. In the bivariate case, the measure...
