Beyond Cobb-Douglas: Estimation of a CES Production Function with Factor Augmenting Technology
Both the recent literature on production function identification and a considerable body of other empirical work on firm expansion assume a Cobb-Douglas production function. Under this assumption, all technical differences are Hicks neutral.

Output Gap Uncertainty, Sovereign Risk Premia and the Contingent Importance of the Bond Vigilantes
Metroeconomica, Volume 77, Issue 4, Page 450-469, November 2026.ABSTRACT This paper investigates the implications of output gap uncertainty for the conduct of fiscal policy using a small‐scale macroeconomic model with boundedly rational agents. Specifically, agents use an adaptive updating mechanism to approximate the unobservable potential output that suffers, similarly to the Hodrick and Prescott (1997) filter ...

Migrant Smuggling to Europe: A Two‐Sector Model With Directed Search
Review of International Economics, Volume 34, Issue 5, Page 1229-1252, November 2026.ABSTRACT In the last decade, combating migrant smuggling has emerged as a top priority for the European Union (EU). An idiosyncratic feature of this market is its dual supply‐side organization, comprising a small number of criminal cartels and a large mass of self‐employed smugglers.

Multilateral Index Approaches in the Presence of Product‐Specific Price Trends and Data Gaps
Review of Income and Wealth, Volume 72, Issue 4, November 2026.ABSTRACT The prices of some products respond more strongly to changes in the general price level than others. This study explains why such product‐specific price level elasticities lead to biased time‐product‐dummy (TPD) estimates of price levels. Other popular multilateral index approaches such as the Gini‐Éltető‐Köves‐Szulc (GEKS) and Geary‐Khamis ...
