Global Business Cycles: Convergence or Decoupling?

Kose, M. Ayhan; Otrok, Christopher; Prasad, Eswar - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2008

This paper analyzes the evolution of the degree of global cyclical interdependence over the period 1960-2005. We categorize the 106 countries in our sample into three groups – industrial countries, emerging markets, and other developing economies. Using a dynamic factor model, we then...

Robust Dynamic Space-Time Panel Data Models Using ?-Contamination: An Application to Crop Yields and Climate Change

Baltagi, Badi H.; Bresson, Georges; Chaturvedi, Anoop; … - 2022

homogeneous/ heterogeneous slopes and cross-sectional dependence. Using an extensive Monte Carlo simulation study, we compare the …-time models. We investigate the robustness of Bayesian panel data models to possible misspecification of the prior distribution …. The proposed robust Bayesian approach departs from the standard Bayesian framework in two ways. First, we consider the …

International Sanctions and Labor Emigration: A Case Study of Iran

Zareei, Afsaneh; Falahi, Mohammad Ali; Wadensjö, Eskil; … - 2024

Sanctions have severe adverse effects on societies. Even though sanctions are used against governments, the population is punished for its government's behavior. Sanctions can create problems due to international migration. Iran is an unique case study because it faced the most and hardest...

The effect of children on the level of labor market involvement of married women: what is the role of education?

Troske, Kenneth R.; Voicu, Alexandru - 2009

We analyze the way women's education influences the effect of children on their level of labor market involvement. We propose an econometric model that accounts for the endogeneity of labor market and fertility decisions, for the heterogeneity of the effects of children and their correlation...
