Chapter 4 The new empirics of economic growth

Durlauf, Steven N.; Quah, Danny T. - In: Handbook of macroeconomics : volume 1, part A, (pp. 235-308). 1999

We provide an overview of recent empirical research on patterns of cross-country growth. The new empirical regularities considered differ from earlier ones, e.g., the well-known Kaldor stylized facts. The new research no longer makes production function accounting a central part of the analysis....

Penalized quantile regression with semiparametric correlated effects : applications with heterogeneous preferences

Harding, Matthew C.; Lamarche, Carlos - 2013

This paper proposes new ℓ1-penalized quantile regression estimators for panel data, which explicitly allows for individual heterogeneity associated with covariates. We conduct Monte Carlo simulations to assess the small sample performance of the new estimators and provide comparisons of new...

Treatment evaluation with multiple outcome periods under endogeneity and attrition

Frölich, Markus; Huber, Martin - 2014

This paper develops a nonparametric methodology for treatment evaluation with multiple outcome periods under treatment endogeneity and missing outcomes. We use instrumental variables, pre-treatment characteristics, and short-term (or intermediate) outcomes to identify the average treatment...

The public sector wage premium in Spain : evidence from longitudinal administrative data

Hospido, Laura; Moral-Benito, Enrique - 2014

This paper studies the public sector wage gap in Spain, by gender, skill level and type of contract, using recent administrative data from tax records. We estimate wage distributions in the presence of covariates separately for men and women in the public and in the private sectors, and we take...

Difference-in-differences inference with few treated clusters

MacKinnon, James G.; Webb, Matthew - 2016

Inference using difference-in-differences with clustered data requires care. Previous research has shown that t tests based on a cluster-robust variance estimator (CRVE) severely over-reject when there are few treated clusters, that different variants of the wild cluster bootstrap can...

Real exchange rate misalignment in the euro area : is the current development helpful?

Hajek, Jan - 2016

We use the behavioral equilibirum exchange rate (BEER) approach to examine the extent of real exchange rate misalignment in the euro area over the period 1980-2014. In a panel data setting, we find significant links between real exchange rates, relative productivity, trade balance and terms of...
