In the productivity modelling literature, the disturbances U (representing technical inefficiency) and V (representing noise) of the composite error W=V-U of the stochastic frontier model are assumed to be independent random variables. By employing the copula approach to statistical modelling,...

Macroeconomic time series are often obtained as an aggregate across regions or economic sectors. Even when the ultimate goal is to forecast the aggregate series it may be beneficial to consider the underlying disaggregate series. This especially holds when the disaggregate series are generated...

In this paper we use optimal-instrument and new finite-sample methods to test the empirical relevance of the New Keynesian Phillips curve (NKPC) equation. Unlike generalized method of moments-based methods, these generalized Anderson-Rubin tests are immune to the presence of weak instruments,...

We investigate the extent to which firm-level data are consistent with the microeconomic foundations of the benchmark financial accelerator model of Bernanke, Gertler, and Gilchrist (1999). To that purpose, we construct a new dataset that directly links firm-specific balance sheet variables to...
