Weighted Smooth Transition Regressions
A new procedure is developed for modelling and testing nonlinearity of a smooth transition form, allowing the possibility that the transition variable is a weighted function of lagged observations. This is achieved through use of a beta function and requires speci cation of only the maximum permissable lag. Nonlinearity testing uses a search over the beta function parameters, with inference exp...
متن کاملDualism and cross-country growth regressions
This paper examines whether growth regressions should incorporate dualism and structural change. If there is a differential across sectors in the marginal product of labour, changes in the structure of employment can raise aggregate total factor productivity. The paper develops empirical growth models that allow for this effect in a more flexible way than previous work. Estimates of the models ...
متن کاملVariable Selection and Functional Form Uncertainty in Cross-Country Growth Regressions
Regression analyses of cross-country economic growth data are complicated by two main forms of model uncertainty: the uncertainty in selecting explanatory variables and the uncertainty in specifying the functional form of the regression function. Most discussions in the literature address these problems independently, yet a joint treatment is essential. We perform this joint treatment by extend...
متن کاملModel 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...
متن کاملVariable Selection in Predictive Regressions
This chapter reviews methods for selecting empirically relevant predictors from a set of N potentially relevant ones for the purpose of forecasting a scalar time series. I first discuss criterion based procedures in the conventional case when N is small relative to the sample size, T . I then turn to the large N case. Regularization and dimension reduction methods are then discussed. Irrespecti...
