Taxation, inequality and the allocation of talent
Bergman, Malin L. (contributor) - 2003 - [Elektronische Ressource], Rev. April 16, 2003
This paper examines the implications of income redistribution on human capital accumulation and income inequality, presenting a model where human capital investment is indivisible and agents differ in economic opportunity as well as intellectual ability. It is shown that the impact of...

Financial liberalization, bank crises and growth : assessing the links
Bonfiglioli, Alessandra (contributor);  … - 2004 - [Elektronische Ressource]
This paper studies the effects of financial liberalization and banking crises on growth. It shows that financial liberalization spurs on average economic growth. Banking crises are harmful for growth, but to a lesser extent in countries with open financial systems and good institutions. The...

The firm size effect : fact or artifact?
Ekberg, John (contributor); Salabasis, Mickael (contributor) - 2001 - [Elektronische Ressource]
The size-wage effect is well documented in the empirical literature, and typical attempts of explanation center on the supply side, using variations of the human capital approach, perhaps combined with institutional theories. With conclusive evidence of its source yet to emerge, an alternative...

Testing for unit roots in nonlinear dynamic heterogeneous panels
He, Changli (contributor); Sandberg, Rickard (contributor) - 2005 - [Elektronische Ressource]
In this paper we present a unit root test against a nonlinear dynamic heterogenous panel with each cross section modelled as an LSTAR model. All parameters are viewed as cross section specific. We allow for serially correlated residuals over time and heterogenous variance among cross sections....

Inference for unit roots in a panel smooth transition autoregressive model where the time dimension is fixed
He, Changli (contributor); Sandberg, Rickard (contributor) - 2005 - [Elektronische Ressource], Rev. February 18, 2005
In this paper we derive a unit root test against a Panel Logistic Smooth Transition Autoregressive (PLSTAR). The analysis is concentrated on the case where the time dimension is fixed and the cross section dimension tends to infinity. Under the null hypothesis of a unit root, we show that the...

Dynamics of technical efficiency and productivity change under central planning : the Romainian cement industry 1966 - 1989
Cotfas, Mihai (contributor); Heshmati, Almas (contributor);  … - 2000 - [Elektronische Ressource], Rev. October 2000
This paper investigates the time-path of efficiency and productivity change in the case of the Romanian cement industry 1966-1989. The analysis is based on different specifications of stochastic frontier models. The efficiency scores and the time paths of efficiency and technical change are...

How fast do banks adjust? : A dynamic model of labor-use with an application to Swedish banks
Kumbhakar, Subal (contributor); Heshmati, Almas (contributor) - 2000 - [Elektronische Ressource]
This paper deals with a dynamic adjustment process in which adjustment of a key variable input (labor) towards its desired level is modeled in a panel data context. The partial adjustment type model is extended to incorporate firm- and time-specific adjustment parameter. A flexible (translog)...
