相关样本下的贫困比较AI 解读

Abstract Standard inference procedures for poverty comparisons require samples to be independent. For many commonly used income samples, however, this requirement is not fulfilled since samples are rotated. This article introduces an easy‐to‐use method of correction for sample dependency. We also apply the method to test changes in US poverty in the 1990s and to evaluate the marginal effects of public assistance on poverty before and after the recent welfare reform.…

有序处理对计数结果的选择修正与敏感性分析AI 解读

Abstract In estimating the effect of an ordered treatment τ on a count response y with an observational data where τ is self‐selected (not randomized), observed variables x and unobserved variables ε can be unbalanced across the control group (τ = 0) and the treatment groups (τ = 1, …, J ). While the imbalance in x causes ‘overt bias’ which can be removed by controlling for x , the imbalance in ε causes ‘covert (hidden or selection) bias’ which cannot be easily removed. This…

辍学者会因辍学受损吗？广义选择模型中的结果增益估计与预测AI 解读

Abstract In this paper we describe methods for predicting distributions of outcome gains in the framework of a latent variable selection model. We describe such procedures for Student‐ t selection models and a finite mixture of Gaussian selection models. Importantly, our algorithms for fitting these models are simple to implement in practice, and also permit learning to take place about the non‐identified cross‐regime correlation parameter. Using data from High School and…

尼日利亚母乳喂养启动时间的贝叶斯地理加性建模AI 解读

Abstract A study into the geographical variability of timing of initial child breastfeeding after birth was carried out with the data set from the 1999 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey. The effect of the metrical covariate of the mother's age at birth was assumed to be nonlinear and estimated nonparametrically. Other categorical covariates are estimated in the usual parametric form. Within a Bayesian context, appropriate priors are assigned for the geographical…

更高功效的面板单位根检验及其实际汇率均值回复应用AI 解读

Abstract Unit root tests, seeking mean or trend reversion, are frequently applied to panel data. We show that more powerful variants of commonly applied tests are readily available. Moreover, power gains persist when the modifications are applied to bootstrap procedures that may be employed when cross‐correlation of a rather general sort among individual panel members is suspected.

临时解雇与分群总体模型AI 解读

Abstract This paper develops and estimates a split population model for the duration of temporary layoffs in the German labour market; the population being split according to whether a layoff is temporary or permanent. A flexible piecewise constant hazard is employed and the recall propensity is used to condition the duration of a temporary layoff. The distinction between factors that influence the recall propensity and factors that influence the duration of a temporary…

协整检验之间的混合信号AI 解读

Abstract This paper illustrates that, under the null hypothesis of no cointegration, the correlation of p ‐values from a single‐equation residual‐based test (i.e., ADF or $\widehat{Z}_{\alpha}$ ) with a system‐based test (trace or maximum eigenvalue) is very low even as the sample size gets large. With data‐generating processes under the null or ‘near’ it, the two types of tests can yield virtually any combination of p ‐values regardless of sample size. As a practical…

租金最大化的随机含义：不列颠哥伦比亚木材立木费率的应用AI 解读

Abstract We construct a model of rent‐maximizing behaviour by a single seller of timber in the absence of a formal market, deriving the stochastic implications of rent maximization for timber prices (stumpage rates) when other input and output (lumber) prices are random. Subsequently, we examine the model's ability to describe monthly, time‐series, stumpage‐rate data from British Columbia, Canada between January 1979 and October 1999. Deviations of stumpage rates from their…

马尔可夫误差修正模型：股票价格与股息应用AI 解读

Abstract This paper considers Markov error‐correction (MEC) models in which deviations from the long‐run equilibrium are characterized by different rates of adjustment. To motivate our analysis and illustrate the various issues involved, our discussion is structured around the analysis of the long‐run properties of US stock prices and dividends. It is shown that the MEC model is flexible enough to account for situations where deviations from the long‐run equilibrium are…

连续时间流动者—留驻者模型的贝叶斯推断及劳动市场转移应用AI 解读

Abstract This paper presents Bayesian inference procedures for the continuous time mover–stayer model applied to labour market transition data collected in discrete time. These methods allow us to derive the probability of embeddability of the discrete‐time modelling with the continuous‐time one. A special emphasis is put on two alternative procedures, namely the importance sampling algorithm and a new Gibbs sampling algorithm. Transition intensities, proportions of stayers…

多变量 GARCH 模型：软件选择与估计问题AI 解读

The model acronym arises from the first letters of the surnames of the authors, with Bollerslev and Krafts being co-authors on the original version of the paper.2 Since Brooks et al. (2002) estimated only BEKK models, and this review uses the diagonal VECH representation, our results are not directly comparable with theirs.3 Since these contracts expire four times per year-March, June, September and December-to obtain a continuous time series we use the closest to maturity…

实用的对数线性加总方法：美国异质性收入增长示例AI 解读

Abstract A practical aggregation method for heterogeneous log‐linear functions is presented. Inequality measures are employed in the construction of a simple but exact aggregate representation of an economy. Three macroeconomic applications are discussed: the aggregation of the Lucas supply function, the time‐inconsistent behaviour of an egalitarian social planner facing heterogeneous discount rates, and the case of a simple heterogeneous growth model. In the latter…

多头与空头交易头寸的风险价值AI 解读

Abstract In this paper we model Value‐at‐Risk (VaR) for daily asset returns using a collection of parametric univariate and multivariate models of the ARCH class based on the skewed Student distribution. We show that models that rely on a symmetric density distribution for the error term underperform with respect to skewed density models when the left and right tails of the distribution of returns must be modelled. Thus, VaR for traders having both long and short positions…

同伴能力是否影响学生成绩？AI 解读

Abstract Empirical analysis of peer effects on student achievement has been open to question because of the difficulties of separating peer effects from other confounding influences. While most econometric attention has been directed at issues of simultaneous determination of peer interactions, we argue that issues of omitted and mismeasured variables are likely to be more important. We control for the most important determinants of achievement that will confound peer…

位置数据不完善时局部互动模型的识别AI 解读

Abstract This paper considers the problem of estimating a local interaction model defined at the level of individual agents, in the absence of perfect information about agent locations in the relevant socio‐economic space. We consider two types of data limitations: one in which individual locations are measured with error, the other in which location information is correct but only up to some spatial region (e.g., census tracts or zip codes). Our results indicate that the…

商品供给模型中的准理性与事前价格预期：美国肉鸡市场分析AI 解读

Abstract A statistically optimal inference about agents' ex ante price expectations within the US broiler market is derived using futures prices of related commodities along with a quasi‐rational forecasting regression equation. The modelling approach, which builds on a Hamilton‐type framework, includes endogenous production and allows expected cash price to be decomposed into anticipated and unanticipated components. We therefore infer the relative importance of various…

推断交易中的私人信息含量：状态切换方法AI 解读

Abstract This paper presents an empirical model for inferring the private information content of trades at the transaction level. The trade‐indicator model of Glosten and Harris ( 1988 ) is extended to a two‐state regime‐switching setting, and the model is estimated using tick‐by‐tick data from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The specialist is found to react in accordance with the proposed model. Bid–ask quotes set after the execution of a trade reflect the conjectured…

高频金融数据区间预测的评估AI 解读

Abstract A number of methods of evaluating the validity of interval forecasts of financial data are analysed, and illustrated using intraday FTSE100 index futures returns. Some existing interval forecast evaluation techniques, such as the Markov chain approach of Christoffersen ( 1998 ), are shown to be inappropriate in the presence of periodic heteroscedasticity. Instead, we consider a regression‐based test, and a modified version of Christoffersen's Markov chain test for…

基于月度与季度序列的新经济周期同步指数AI 解读

Abstract Popular monthly coincident indices of business cycles, e.g. the composite index and the Stock–Watson coincident index, have two shortcomings. First, they ignore information contained in quarterly indicators such as real GDP. Second, they lack economic interpretation; hence the heights of peaks and the depths of troughs depend on the choice of an index. This paper extends the Stock–Watson coincident index by applying maximum likelihood factor analysis to a…

一类家庭生产模型的识别与估计AI 解读

Abstract We consider a class of household production models characterized by a dichotomy property. In these models the amount of time spent on household production does not depend on the household utility function, conditional on household members having a paid job. We analyse the (non‐parametric) identifiability of the production function and the so‐called jointness function (a function describing which part of household production time is counted as pure leisure). It is…

存在删失时儿子代际收入流动性的估计AI 解读

Abstract Based on intergenerational data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, I provide estimates of income mobility across generations for men. Special attention is paid to issues of censoring caused by a son's unemployment. Employing non‐parametric bounds estimates, I illustrate that previous income mobility estimates rely heavily on (unjustified) assumptions of exogenous selection. Assuming a son's potential income is instead a function of his reason for unemployment…
