Consistent Estimation of Growth Regressions

Ordinary least squares is unlikely to estimate growth regressions consistently. A simple alternative method is formulated. Applying ordinary least squares and this method to data on 85 countries over the period 1964-1990 reveals that ordinary least squares is strongly biased. The consistent estimates are about twice as large in magnitude as the inconsistent estimates. This finding suggests that...

Model Specification and Spatial Interdependence∗

Researchers now regularly estimate spatial models in applied political science, both to enhance the validity of their “direct” (i.e., non-spatial) covariate effect estimates and to test explicitly spatial theories. While this is a welcome advance over past practices, we worry that much of this first generation of applied spatial research overlooks certain aspects of spatial models. In particula...

Model Uncertainty in Cross-country Growth Regressions

We investigate the issue of model uncertainty in cross-country growth regressions using Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA). We find that the posterior probability is very spread among many models suggesting the superiority of BMA over choosing any single model. Out-of-sample predictive results support this claim. In contrast with Levine and Renelt (1992), our results broadly support the more “optim...

Quasi-Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Spatial Panel Data Regressions

This article considers quasi-maximum likelihood estimations (QMLE) for two spatial panel data regression models: mixed effects model with spatial errors and transformed mixed effects model (where response and covariates are transformed) with spatial errors. One aim of transformation is to normalize the data, thus the transformed models are more robust with respect to the normality assumption co...

Aid and growth regressions

This paper examines the relationship between foreign aid and growth in real GDP per capita as it emerges from simple augmentations of popular cross-country growth specifications. It is shown that aid in all likelihood increases the growth rate, and this result is not conditional on ‘good’ policy. There are, however, decreasing returns to aid, and the estimated effectiveness of aid is highly sen...
