In this paper we discuss the trade liberalization effects on employment and wages in two symmetrical unionized countries. Two firms which produce differentiated goods compete in Cournot. The employment-wage equilibrium results from efficient bargaining between firm and union. We find that trade...

This paper aims to study the impact of external debt on capital flight conditional on the institutional quality of host countries. Three major contributions emerge. First, the role of external debt in capital flight is clarified. Econometric results based on 26 sub-Saharan African countries over...

This article considers linear panel data models where the dependence of the regressors and the unobservables is modeled through a factor structure. The number of time periods and the sample size both go to infinity. Unlike in most existing methods for the estimation of this type of models,...

We consider point estimation and inference based on modifications of the profile likelihood in models for dyadic interactions between n agents featuring agent-specific parameters. The maximum-likelihood estimator of such models has bias and standard deviation of order n-1 and so is asymptotically...

In this paper, we investigate how a big non-probability database can be used to improve estimates of finite population totals from a small probability sample through data integration techniques. In the situation where the study variable is observed in both data sources, Kim and Tam (2021) proposed...

We model the evolution of preferences guiding behavior in pairwise interactions in group-structured populations. The model uses long-term evolution theory to examine different interaction scenarios, including conditional preference expression upon recognition of the partner’s type. We apply the...

We consider models for network-indexed multivariate data, also known as graph signals, involving a dependence between variables as well as across graph nodes. The dependence across nodes is typically established through the entries of the Laplacian matrix by imposing a distribution that relates the...

In this article, I perform a verification and a reproduction of the main results in Fernández and Fogli(2009), which estimates the role of culture in explaining the labor and fertility decisions of secondgeneration immigrant women to the United States in 1970. While I am able to verify Fernández...

We connect various streams of academic literature to analyze how alternative competition and regulatory policies may affect the development of digital financial services, and particularly of mobile payments. Our main objective is to highlight the extent to which existing models, often coming from...
