Simultaneous Equations Bias in Disaggregated Econometric Models
Author: John KennanDisaggregation in Econometric Modelling (Routledge Revivals)
Author: Terry BarkerPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317829182
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
In this book, first published in 1990, leading theorists and applied economists address themselves to the key questions of aggregation. The issues are covered both theoretically and in wide-ranging applications. Of particular intrest is the optimal aggregation of trade data, the need for micro-modelling when imoprtant non-linearities are present (for example, tax exhaustion in modelling company behaviour) and the use of a micro-model to stimulate labour supply behaviour in a macro-model of the Netherlands.

Languages : en
Pages : 492
Book Description
Using data from several countries, including Cote d'Ivoire, India, Pakistan, Taiwan, and Thailand, this book analyzes household survey data from developing countries and illustrates how such data can be used to cast light on a range of short-term and long-term policy issues.
The Analysis of Household Surveys (Reissue Edition with a New Preface)
Author: Angus DeatonPublisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 1464813523
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 494
Book Description
Two decades after its original publication, The Analysis of Household Surveys is reissued with a new preface by its author, Sir Angus Deaton, recipient of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences. This classic work remains relevant to anyone with a serious interest in using household survey data to shed light on policy issues. The book reviews the analysis of household survey data, including the construction of household surveys, the econometric tools useful for such analysis, and a range of problems in development policy for which this survey analysis can be applied. Chapter 1 describes the features of survey design that need to be understood in order to undertake appropriate analysis. Chapter 2 discusses the general econometric and statistical issues that arise when using survey data for estimation and inference. Chapter 3 covers the use of survey data to measure welfare, poverty, and distribution. Chapter 4 focuses on the use of household budget data to explore patterns of household demand. Chapter 5 discusses price reform, its effects on equity and efficiency, and how to measure them. Chapter 6 addresses the role of household consumption and saving in economic development. The book includes an appendix providing code and programs using STATA, which can serve as a template for users' own analysis.

Book Description
Databases with cross-sectional interdependent variables have highlighted the need for new data analysis techniques to model interdependence patterns cross-sectional units. Among various models to describe the interdependence, spatial autoregressive models (SAR) have attracted much attention. The theory and practice of single dependent variable SAR have been well established. Although a large number of economic theories may concern about interrelations among several economic variables, econometric studies regarding multivariate and simultaneous equations SAR models are limited. This dissertation is filling in this gap. This dissertation is composed of two chapters, the first chapter focuses on models with cross-sectional data, while the second chapter is on models in panel data which incorporates both intertemporal dynamics and spatial interdependence. The first chapter investigates a simultaneous equations spatial autoregressive model which incorporates simultaneity effects, own-variable spatial lags and cross-variable spatial lags as explanatory variables, and allows for correlation between disturbances across equations. In exposition, this chapter also discusses a multivariate spatial autoregressive model that can be treated as a reduced form of the simultaneous equations model. For a multivariate model, we provide identification conditions in terms of the existence of instruments for spatial lags and regularities of the weight matrix structure. Rank conditions and order conditions are provided for identification of structural parameters in the simultaneous equations model. In this chapter we study parameter spaces, the parameter identification, asymptotic properties of the quasi-maximum likelihood estimation, and computational issues. Monte Carlo experiments illustrate the advantages of the QML, broader applicability and efficiency, compared to instrumental variables based estimation methods in the existing literature. The second chapter introduces multivariate and simultaneous equations dynamic panel spatial autoregressive models in the cases of stability and spatial cointegration. A spatial unit is assumed to depend on its lagged term, and to respond to its neighbours' or peers' behaviour in the current period (spatial lags), and in the previous period (space-time lags). The disturbances in the model are specified with time fixed effects and individual fixed effects in addition to idiosyncratic disturbances. This chapter investigates identification for the model with simultaneous effects, time dynamic effects, and spatial effects. In the estimation of stable and spatially cointegrated models, we investigate QMLE and establish asymptotic properties of the estimator. Convergence rates of parameters may change depending on variables being stable or unstable. We analyze asymptotic biases and suggest bias-corrected estimates. We also study a robust estimation method which can be applied to stable case, spatial cointergration case and some spatial explosion cases. We apply the model to study the grain market integration using a unique historical dataset of rice and wheat prices of 65 cities in 49 years in Yangtze River Basin. The empirical result shows that rice and wheat prices are spatially cointegrated across cities. These results provide evidences of interregional and intertemporal grain market integration and trading network in the eighteenth-century Yangtze River basin.
