This paper uses an original panel dataset with posted prices and sales to estimate a dynamic demand. We find that consumers become more price sensitive as time to departure nears which is consistent with having lower valuations. This result provides empirical support to a key theoretical...

This paper finds empirical support to systematic peak-load pricing in airlines---higher fares in ex-ante known congested periods. It estimates a congestion premia and supports the main empirical prediction in Gale and Holmes (1993) [Gale, I., Holmes, T., 1993. Advance-purchase discounts and...

This paper examines the effects of age and tenure on job satisfaction. We estimate a generalized dynamic random effects ordered probit model using the British Household Panel Survey. Contrary to previous literature, we find that age has no significant impact on job satisfaction for females, and...

This article is an original contribution to the understanding of the relationship between fiscal decentralization and public expenditure composition. Relying on recent panel cointegration techniques, our findings show that the level of decentralization influences the expenditure composition of...

This paper investigates the quasi-maximum likelihood (QML) estimation of spatial panel data models where spatial weights matrices can be time varying. We show that QML estimate is consistent and asymptotically normal. We also derive the asymptotic distribution of average impact coefficients...

We obtain an LM test for the random effects probit model. In the natural parameterization of the model the necessary derivatives are identically zero under the null hypothesis. After a reparameterization, the feasible LM test is based on generalized residuals.

This note derives the correct limit distributions of the Anderson–Hsiao (1981) levels and differences instrumental variable estimators, provides comparisons showing that the levels IV estimator has uniformly smaller variance asymptotically as the cross section (n) and time series (T) sample...

This paper investigates nonlinear effects of government debt on private consumption. The estimated consumption function shows smooth regime switching depending on the debt-to-GDP ratio, and a higher level of government debt crowds out private consumption to a greater extent.

We extend Breitung’s (2000) panel data unit root test to the case of fixed time (T) dimension while still allowing for heteroscedastic and serially correlated error terms. The analytic local power function of the new test is derived assuming that only the cross section dimension of the panel...

We test the effect of the solemn oath (HO) in Hypothetical CE Survey (CE). We conducted CE surveys with three treatments: (1) CE without a cognitive task, (2) CE with a CT script, and (3) CE with a HO. Results generally suggest lower WTPs values with the HO, than without the HO script.
