Popular perception holds that employment stability has decreased in recent decades. However, no conclusive evidence exists on secular declines in the length of jobs held. Furthermore, most studies conclude that the proportion of long term jobs has remained remarkably stable over the last few...

The specification of an optimizing model of the monetary transmission mechanism requires selecting a policy regime, commonly commitment or discretion. In this paper we propose a new procedure for testing optimal monetary policy, relying on moment inequalities that nest commitment and discretion...

This paper contributes to ongoing debates on international income comparisons by deploying a novel methodology for constructing empirical distribution functions for the United States and Canada over the period 1993 - 2000. We also conduct tests for first, second, third order stochastic dominance...

We introduce a new, factor based bootstrap approach which is robust under heteroskedastic error terms for inference in … functional coefficient models. Modeling the functional coefficient parametrically, the bootstrap approximation of an F statistic …, factor based bootstrap inference outperforms the wild bootstrap and pairs bootstrap approach according to its size features …
