The Impact of Economic Growth on Insurance (Growth)

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the impact of economic growth on insurance (growth), focusing on the outflow side of the insurance activity, as captured by benefits (including commissions and expenses). The findings provide evidence that economic growth does exert a positive, statistically significant impact on the benefit side of insurance (growth ...

Land Use Policy and Racial Segregation

International Studies of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Land use policies, though seemingly race‐neutral, can inadvertently contribute to racial segregation. Our study focuses on examining the impact of minimum lot size regulations on the likelihood of ethnic minorities integrating into a community, which reveals compelling evidence suggesting that black households exhibit a preference for smaller ...

Are consumers willing to pay more for future organic? Preference for certified transitional labels

Journal of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association, EarlyView.
Abstract The organic industry in the United States (US) has never kept pace with consumer demand and heavily relies on imports. This paper investigates how consumers value certified transitional labels, indicating growers are transitioning from conventional to organic production.

High‐Frequency Instruments With Time‐Varying Reliability: Understanding Identification in Macroeconomics

Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The effects of monetary policy shocks are regularly estimated using high‐frequency surprises in asset prices around central bank meetings as an instrument. These studies, insofar as they explicitly model the relationship between instrument and structural shock, assume a constant relationship between the instrument and the monetary policy shock.

Robust Tests of Forecast Accuracy for Factor‐Augmented Regressions With an Application to the Novel EA‐MD‐QD Dataset

Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We present four novel tests of equal predictive accuracy and encompassing á Pitarakis (2023, 2025) for factor‐augmented regressions. Factors are estimated using cross‐section averages (CAs) of grouped series and our theoretical findings are empirically relevant: asymptotic normality, robustness to an overspecification of the number of factors,

Improving the Finite Sample Estimation of Average Treatment Effects Using Double/Debiased Machine Learning With Propensity Score Calibration

Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Double/debiased machine learning (DML) uses for estimating an average treatment effect (ATE) a double‐robust score function that relies on the prediction of nuisance functions, such as the propensity score, which is the probability of treatment assignment given covariates.

A Joint Test of Unconfoundedness and Common Trends

Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We introduce an overidentification test of two alternative assumptions to identify the average treatment effect on the treated in a two‐period panel data setting: unconfoundedness and common trends. Under unconfoundedness, treatment assignment and post‐treatment outcomes are independent, conditional on control variables and pre‐treatment ...

Fiscal Policy Regimes in Resource‐Rich Economies

Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We analyse fiscal policy in resource‐rich economies using a novel Bayesian regime‐switching panel model. The identified regimes capture pro‐ or countercyclical fiscal behaviour by allowing regime‐specific shifts in the average fiscal stance, while the switches between the regimes have the interpretation of changes in fiscal policy.
