I expose the risk of false discoveries in the context of multiple treatment effects. A false discovery is a nonexistent effect that is falsely labeled as statistically significant by its individual t-value. Labeling nonexistent effects as statistically significant has wide-ranging academic and...

This paper investigates the statistical features and the macroeconomic determinants of youth unemployment in a number of European countries. First, it explores its short and long memory properties by estimating both autoregressive and fractional integration models. This type of analysis sheds...

We propose marginal integration estimation and testing methods for the coefficients of varying coefficient multivariate … regression model. Asymptotic distribution theory is developed for the estimation method which enjoys the same rate of convergence … as univariate function estimation. For the test statistic, asymptotic normal theory is established. These theoretical …

This paper considers estimation and inference for varying-coefficient models with nonstationary regressors. We propose … a nonparametric estimation method using penalized splines, which achieves the same optimal convergence rate as kernel …

In this paper we use the covariate quantile autoregression approach to test whether consumption is a constant unit root process, as predicted by the permanent income hypothesis (PIH). We find evidence that at low quantiles of the conditional quantile function of consumption the persistence of...

We introduce a simple nonparametric approach to compute impulse response functions. We first search for clusters of recurrent patterns of observations resembling two sets of given initial conditions, one of which contains the impact effect of the structural shock of interest. Then, to trace out...
