Engel elasticities, pseudo-maximum likelihood estimation and bootstrapped standard errors : a case study
(Discussion Papers;No. 532, Working paper, 2008)Abstract: Estimation of standard errors of Engel elasticities within the framework of a linear structural model formulated on two-wave panel data is considered. The complete demand system is characterized by measurement ... -
From data to levy design : the five stages of implementing housing taxes
(Discussion Papers; 596, Working paper, 2009)Taxes on housing consumption have attractive features. They can enhance overall efficiency, function as automatic stabilizers, and work progressively. Implementation, however, requires a careful balance between economic ... -
How linear models can mask non-linear causal relationships : an application to family size and children's education
(Discussion Papers;586, Working paper, 2009)Many empirical studies specify outcomes as a linear function of endogenous regressors when conducting instrumental variable (IV) estimation. We show that commonly used tests for treatment effects, selection bias, and ... -
Modeling concentration and dispersion in multiple regression
(Discussion Papers;No. 412, Working paper, 2005)We consider concepts and models that are useful for measuring how strongly the distribution of a positive response Y is concentrated near a value y0 > 0 with a focus on how concentration varies as a function of covariates. ...
