Exponent of cross-sectional dependence : estimation and inference
Bailey, Natalia; Kapetanios, George; Pesaran, M. Hashem - 2012
An important issue in the analysis of cross-sectional dependence which has received renewed interest in the past few years is the need for a better understanding of the extent and nature of such cross dependencies. In this paper we focus on measures of cross-sectional dependence and how such...

Estimating trade policy effects with structural gravity
Piermartini, Roberta; Yotov, Yoto V. - 2016
The objective of this manuscript is to serve as a practical guide for estimations with the structural gravity model. After a brief review of the theoretical foundations, we summarize the main challenges with gravity estimations and we review the solutions to address those challenges. Then, we...

A tax on tax revenue : the incentive effects of equalizing transfers ; evidence from Germany
Huber, Bernd; Baretti, Christian; Lichtblau, Karl - 2000
Several recent studies suggest that equalizing transfers in a federal system may distort the tax policy decisions of states. We study this issue for the German federal fiscal system. In a simple theoretical model, we first identify a substitution and an income effect of equalizing transfers. Our...
