Quite often shadow economy (SE) and corruption are seen as "twins", which need each other or fight against each other and theoretically can be either complements or substitutes. Therefore, the relationship between SE and corruption has been a controversial and polemical issue and in the spotlight of a remarkable collection of economists and social researchers. The main objective of this study ...

Laboratory experiments on the provision of public goods follow each subject over time as he interacts with a small group of others, deciding in each period how much of an initial allocation to contribute to a group good that yields a return to all group members. These experiments produce data sets that are rich in dynamics, as subjects respond not only to the parameters of the experiment, but a...

In the last step we used Assumption ID(ii). Because E [ Tr (e′e) ∣∣∣λ0, f , w] is independent of β, λ, f , we find minimizing Q(β, λ, f) is equivalent to minimizing Q∗(β, λ, f).

This paper overviews some recent developments in panel data asymptotics, concentrating on the nonstationary panel case and gives a new result for models with individual effects. Underlying recent theory are asymptotics for multi-indexed processes in which both indexes may pass to infinity. We review some of the new limit theory that has been developed, show how it can be applied and give a new ...
