Forecasting with Econometric Methods: Folklore Versus Fact

Armstrong, J. Scott - 1978

Evidence from social psychology suggests that econometricians will avoid evidence that disconfirms their beliefs. Two beliefs of econometricians were examined: (1) Econometric methods provide more accurate short-term forecasts than do other methods; and (2) more complex econometric methods yield...

Estimating the Number of Patents in the World Using Count Panel Data Models

Youssef, Ahmed H.; Abonazel, Mohamed R.; Ahmed, Elsayed G. - 2020

In this paper, we review some estimators of count regression (Poisson and negative binomial) models in panel data modeling. These estimators based on the type of the panel data model (the model with fixed or random effects). Moreover, we study and compare the performance of these estimators...

Identification of Panel Data Models with Endogenous Censoring

Khan, Shakeeb; Ponomareva, Maria; Tamer, Elie - 2011

This paper analyzes the identification question in censored panel data models, where the censoring can depend on both observable and unobservable variables in arbitrary ways. Under some general conditions, we derive the tightest sets on the parameter of interest. These sets (which can be...
