Recent studies document that zombie lending has been widespread following the European sovereign debt crisis. In this paper, I develop a quantitative model to study the impact of these lending practices on firm dynamics. In the model, firm liquidations and zombie lending arise endogenously. The model provides a good match to key euro‐area firm statistics over the period 2011–14. I find that zombie lending has a substantial impact on borrowing costs, helping more low‐productivity firms to survive. This, in turn, causes a drag on aggregate output, investment and productivity.","PeriodicalId":54654,"journal":{"name":"Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142263965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Vu","doi":"10.1111/obes.12642","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/obes.12642","url":null,"abstract":"I provide new empirical estimates of the effect of state capacity on economic development across countries over the period 1960–2022. Specifically, I construct a comprehensive state capacity index based on six different dimensions of effective state institutions available in the Varieties of Democracy (V‐Dem) dataset. Then, I estimate heterogeneous parameter models under a common factor framework. My empirical strategy explicitly allows the growth effect of state capacity to differ across countries and accounts for unobserved common factors. My preferred estimates indicate that a one‐standard‐deviation increase in my V‐Dem‐based state capacity index predicts a rise in income per person by roughly 6%–7%. The magnitude of such impact equates to less than half of that implied by conventional estimates obtained under highly restrictive assumptions of slope homogeneity and cross‐sectional independence. Furthermore, I provide partial evidence suggesting that worldwide heterogeneity in the economic importance of state capacity is deeply rooted in prehistorically determined population diversity, state history, long‐term relatedness between countries, and interpersonal trust.","PeriodicalId":54654,"journal":{"name":"Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142206156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent research suggests that austerity fuelled political polarization, instability, and populism in Europe. However, the motives behind citizens' responses to austerity are not well understood. Using the case of the UK, we study whether preferences for redistribution drive the effect of austerity on political participation in the form of voting, appealing for reform with the government, and protesting. Based on experimental and observational data, we show that individual exposure to austerity increases voting and appealing for reform with the government but not protesting, and changes people's preferences for redistribution. The experimental data show that being exposed to austerity is associated with a 0.128 and a 0.096 unit increase in voting and appealing for reform, respectively. The data also show that exposure to austerity increases preferences for taxing higher incomes and spending more on welfare and social security. This change in preferences explains between 8% and 11% of the effect of exposure to austerity on political participation.","PeriodicalId":54654,"journal":{"name":"Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142206158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We build quarterly time series on hours worked and task premiums from the CPS and assess the effects of routine‐biased technological change by estimating a VAR model with long‐run exclusion and sign restrictions. The results indicate that the decline in total hours worked is driven by routine‐biased technology shocks through a decline in routine hours. These shocks generate recognizable aggregate fluctuations pointing out to their potential relevance for business cycles.","PeriodicalId":54654,"journal":{"name":"Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142206157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We show that fixed effects can be handled by a similar Gibbs sampler under a diffuse prior on the unobserved heterogeneity. The dummy variable approach for fixed effects is computationally intensive and has the out‐of‐memory risk, while the Gibbs sampler can reproduce the dummy variable estimator without creating dummy variables, and therefore avoids the memory burden. Compared to alternating projections and other classical approaches, our method simplifies both inference and estimation of the limited dependent variable models with fixed effects. The proposed method is applied to a real‐world mortgage dataset for classification with three‐way fixed effects on banks, regions, and loan purposes.","PeriodicalId":54654,"journal":{"name":"Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142206159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To that end, I employ the dynamic Nelson–Siegel model with time‐varying parameters, thereby computing indicators for tracing monetary easing effects. I show that the estimation performance of the yield curve models is sufficiently improved even under the ultra‐low interest rate environment by extending the dynamic Nelson–Siegel model to allow a loading parameter to vary over time, in addition to three factors of yield curve dynamics: level, slope, and curvature. However, I also demonstrate that the identification of the level and loading parameters is critical in assessing monetary policy effects. I reveal that monetary easing effects under the Quantitative and Qualitative Monetary Easing (QQE) are produced by flattening the yield curve in the ultra‐long‐term maturity zone over 10 years, while monetary easing effects from maturities shorter than ten years remain almost unchanged. Monetary policy fails to produce sufficient monetary easing effects within the time frame of the standard macroeconomic stabilization policy, even with the full‐fledged implementation of unconventional monetary policy measures under the ultra‐low interest rate environment in Japan.","PeriodicalId":54654,"journal":{"name":"Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141936093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a panel of 1,547 firms across 24 countries covering 2006–20, we find that firms with the most efficient technologies for reducing emissions tend to disclose their carbon impact, especially when they face more stringent environmental regulations. These high-performing firms demonstrate a tendency for non-disclosure when faced with intense shareholder and environmental activist pushback against pollution.
