On the Identification of Multivariate Correlated Unobserved Components Models
This paper analyses identification for multivariate unobserved components models in which the innovations to trend and cycle are correlated. We address order and rank criteria as well as potential non-uniqueness of the reduced-form VARMA model. Identification is shown for lag lengths larger than one in case of a diagonal vector autoregressive cycle. We also discuss UC models with common feature...
متن کاملTotal Factor Productivity: An Unobserved Components Approach
This work examines the presence of unobserved components in the time series of Total Factor Productivity, which is an idea central to modern Macroeconomics. The main approaches in both the study of economic growth and the study of business cycles rely on certain properties of the different components of the time series of Total Factor Productivity. In the study of economic growth, the Neoclassi...
متن کاملCount Data Models with Correlated Unobserved Heterogeneity
As previously argued, the correlation between included and omitted regressors generally causes inconsistency of standard estimators for count data models. Non-linear instrumental variables estimation of an exponential model under conditional moment restrictions is one of the proposed remedies. This approach is extended here by fully exploiting the model assumptions and thereby improving efficie...
متن کاملRevisiting the Dollar-Euro Permanent Equilibrium Exchange Rate: Evidence from Multivariate Unobserved Components Models
We propose an alternative approach to obtaining a permanent equilibrium exchange rate (PEER), based on an unobserved components (UC) model. This approach offers a number of advantages over the conventional cointegration-based PEER. Firstly, we do not rely on the prerequisite that cointegration has to be found between the real exchange rate and macroeconomic fundamentals to obtain non-spurious l...
متن کاملWhy Are Married Men Working So Much? Home Production, Household Bargaining and Per-Capita Hours
Why Are Married Men Working So Much? Home Production, Household Bargaining and Per-Capita Hours Empirical patterns of labor supply at the micro level tend to reject the unitary model assumption implicit in most macro theories, where households are the deemed to be rational agents. This paper examines the rise in per-capita labor since 1975 and asks how the inclusion of bargaining between spouse...
