    • Identifying Demand Elasticity via Heteroscedasticity: A Panel GMM Approach to Estimation and Inference 

      von Brasch, Thomas; Raknerud, Arvid; Vigtel, Trond C. (Discussion Papers;1015, Working paper, 2024-10)
      This paper introduces a panel GMM framework for identifying and estimating demand elasticities via heteroscedasticity. While existing panel estimators address the simultaneity problem, the state-of the-art Feenstra/Soderbery ...

      von Brasch, Thomas; Cappelen, Ådne; Hungnes, Håvard; Skjerpen, Terje (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      How much stimuli that should be attributed to R&D investments crucially depends on how the benefits of R&D reverberate throughout the economy. An extensive literature has found major spillover effects from R&D investments ...

    • The cost-of-living index with trade barriers. Theory and evidence 

      von Brasch, Thomas (Discussion papers;751, Working paper, 2013-09)
      The standard cost-of-living index hinges on the assumption that there is free trade. Applying it to situations where trade barriers are present yields biased results with respect to a true cost-of-living index. Import price ...

      von Brasch, Thomas; Raknerud, Arvid (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Although there is an extensive body of literature on aggregate productivity growth, reallocation, and firm turnover, the contribution to overall productivity growth from new firms that produce new varieties is not well ...
