  Abstract:In this paper, we develop kernel-based non-parametric estimation and inferential theory for large heterogeneous panel data models with stochastic time-varying coefficients. We propose mean group and pooled estimators, derive the asymptotic distributions, and show the uniform consistency and asymptotic normality of the coefficients paths of the model. Then, we extend the procedures to the case with possibly endogenous regressors and propose a time-varying version of the Hausman exogeneity test. The features of proposed estimators are investigated through an extensive Monte Carlo study. We also present two empirical applications. The first explores the time-varying price elasticity of U.S. gasoline demand functions with state-level data. The second estimates the panel version of time-varying backward looking and forward looking Phillips curve.  

题目:宗派竞争与人力资本的市场供给

摘要:19 世纪下半叶,美国经历了大学基础设施大规模扩建。到 1890 年,相较于欧洲,更多的高等学府出现在美国。在本文中,我们研究了教派竞争在高等教育市场供给中的作用。具体来说,我们记录了几乎所有在这个时期建立的有宗派根源或起源的大学。经验主义

分析揭示了一个地区的宗教分裂之间存在强大的正相关关系以及在当地建立的学院的数量。我们认为在确认宗派从属关系之上进行大学创建的热情与传统霍特林机制大为不同。我们制定了一个学校选择模型,发现有证据表明宗派归属弱化了学费竞争的程度并调节了“过度”入学的大学。我们的结论是,更多的学校数量与更多的入学人数对大学质量提升具有持续影响;因此,宗教多元化催生了教育投资。
