We first show that identification of present bias requires assumptions on the felicity function and that agents must have credit constraints on consumption expenditure. Moreover, when there is heterogeneity in present bias, identification requires that agents with the same present bias parameter buy houses with different contracts. We illustrate our findings with observational land-lease-contract data from Amsterdam.","PeriodicalId":50555,"journal":{"name":"Econometrics Journal","volume":"23 1","pages":"363-385"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/ectj/utaa018","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46645867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The recent literature on finite-population inference instead derives an alternative asymptotic variance of the ordinary least squares estimator. Here, I extend the results to the more general setting of M-estimators and also find that the usual robust ‘sandwich’ estimator is conservative. The proposed asymptotic variance of M-estimators accounts for two sources of variation. In addition to the usual sampling-based uncertainty arising from (possibly) not observing the entire population, there is also design-based uncertainty, which is usually ignored in the common inference method, resulting from lack of knowledge of the counterfactuals. Under this alternative framework, we can obtain smaller standard errors of M-estimators when the population is treated as finite.","PeriodicalId":50555,"journal":{"name":"Econometrics Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2020-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/ectj/utaa022","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45188016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this regard, they are incapable of addressing dynamic and simultaneous interactions among a set of macroeconomic variables, a problem that falls within the realm of structural analysis. This paper aims to contribute to the existing literature by studying a homogeneous panel vector autoregression (VAR) model with interactive fixed effects. The panel VAR model in question is flexible in that it can accommodate an arbitrary lag length and observable regressors that can be individual-specific or common. For factor VAR models with both a large cross-section (C) and a large time (T) dimension, we derive the limiting distribution of the interactive fixed estimator, allowing structural analysis to be extended to panel VAR models with interactive fixed effects.","PeriodicalId":50555,"journal":{"name":"Econometrics Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2020-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/ectj/utaa021","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41429432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We construct a classification procedure by minimising the empirical misclassification risk with a penalty on the number of selected covariates. This optimisation problem is equivalent to obtaining an ℓ0-penalised maximum score estimator. We derive probability bounds on the estimated sparsity as well as on the excess misclassification risk. These theoretical results are nonasymptotic and established in a high-dimensional setting. In particular, we show that our method yields a sparse solution whose ℓ0-norm can be arbitrarily close to true sparsity with high probability and obtain the rates of convergence for the excess misclassification risk. We implement the proposed procedure via the method of mixed-integer linear programming. Its numerical performance is illustrated in Monte Carlo experiments and a real data application of the work-trip transportation mode choice.","PeriodicalId":50555,"journal":{"name":"Econometrics Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2020-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/ectj/utaa017","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48273157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This stylized fact contradicts a unit root model for the underlying processes in levels, as the statistic converges in probability to a constant under this modeling scheme. In this paper we establish asymptotic theory for regression in local stochastic unit root (LSTUR) variables. An empirical application reveals that the new theory explains very well the instability, in both sign and scale, of the sample correlation coefficient, between gold, oil and stock return price indices. In addition, we establish spurious regression theory for LSTUR variables, which generalizes the results known hitherto, as well as theory for balanced regression in this setting.","PeriodicalId":50555,"journal":{"name":"Econometrics Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2020-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/ectj/utaa011","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41790293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
