Dynamic Optimization in Models for State Panel Data: A Cohort Panel Data Model of the Effects of Divorce Laws on Divorce Rates

Journal Article Economic Research Initiatives at Duke (ERID) Working Paper · June 14, 2011 We present a new approach to the estimation of dynamic models using panel data, not on individuals, but aggregated to some level such as the school, county or state. This approach embeds the reduced form implications of dynamic optimization for exiting a c ... Open Access Cite

Carrots and sticks: fertility effects of China's population policies.

Journal Article The American economic review · January 2000 For 20 years following 1949, average total fertility per woman in China hovered just above six children. The year 1970 marked the beginning of persistent fertility declines. By 1980, the rate had dropped to 2.75, and since 1992 it has remained under 2. Whi ... Full text Open Access Cite

The residual market factor, the APT, and mean-variance efficiency

Journal Article Review of Quantitative Finance and Accounting · January 1, 1991 The rapidly increasing volume of both published and unpublished work on the arbitrage pricing theory (APT) of Ross (1976) has given rise to a number of misunderstandings at the interface of theoretical and econometric work. In this article we extend the th ... Full text Cite

Arbitrage pricing theory as a restricted nonlinear multivariate regression model: Iterated nonlinear seemingly unrelated regression estimates

Journal Article Journal of Business and Economic Statistics · January 1, 1988 By replacing the unknown random factors of factor analysis with observed macroeconomic variables, the arbitrage pricing theory (APT) is recast as a multivariate nonlinear regression model with across-equation restrictions. An explicit theoretical justifica ... Full text Open Access Cite

Two estimators for the apt model when factors are measured

Journal Article Economics Letters · January 1, 1985 Non-linear SUR and ITSUR techniques are proposed for the estimation of the APT and the CAPM when the factors are observed. These techniques estimate all of the parameters of the model simultaneously and directly impose the model's non-linear parameter rest ... Full text Cite

Goodness of fit for seemingly unrelated regressions. Glahn's R2y.x and Hooper's r̄2

Journal Article Journal of Econometrics · January 1, 1977 This paper presents a measure of goodness of fit for Zellner's seemingly unrelated regressions. The measure is a monotonic transform of the appropriate (asymptotic) F-statistic, is bounded on [0, 1] and is maximized by Zellner's estimation technique. Glahn ... Full text Cite

Weaker MSE criteria and tests for linear restrictions in regression models with non-spherical disturbances

Journal Article Journal of Econometrics · January 1, 1977 This paper extend, in an asymptotic sense, the strong and the weaker mean square error criteria and corresponding tests to linear models with non-spherical disturbances where the error covariance matrix is unknown but a consistent estimator for it is avail ...
