Unemployment and Hysteresis: A Nonlinear Unobserved Components A Nonlinear Unobserved Components A Nonlinear Unobserved Components A Nonlinear Unobserved Components A Nonlinear Unobserved Components Approach [PDF]

A new test for hysteresis based on a nonlinear unobserved components model is proposed. Observed unemployment rates are decomposed into a natural rate component and a cyclical component.

To vary or not to vary: A flexible empirical Bayes factor for testing variance components

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Random effects are the gold standard for capturing structural heterogeneity, such as individual differences or temporal dependence. Yet testing their presence is difficult because variance components are constrained to be non‐negative, creating a boundary problem. This paper introduces a flexible empirical Bayes factor (EBF) for testing random

Composite marginal likelihood estimation of higher‐order diagnostic classification models under high dimensionality

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Although full‐information maximum likelihood (FIML) estimation is widely used for diagnostic classification models (DCMs), its computational efficiency deteriorates sharply in high‐dimensional settings. This scalability challenge is increasingly critical as DCMs are applied to large‐scale assessments, psychological testing and longitudinal ...

An Investigation of Current Account Solvency in Latin America Using Non Linear Stationarity Tests [PDF]

Using a new methodology that allows for nonlinearities, we find frequent support for sustainability in the debt of a set of Latin American countries. Our findings overturn results obtained with traditional unit-root tests and provide a more realistic ...

Comparative Cantillon effects in the Canadian and Australian art markets

Canadian Journal of Economics/Revue canadienne d'économique, EarlyView.
Abstract As far back as 1755, Richard Cantillon analyzed how changes in the money supply affected relative prices in the economy. In times of monetary infusion, prices of certain types of goods and services could be expected to rise, depending upon the initial distribution of the money and therefore initial spending.

Are the ecological and human dimensions of a national park reconcilable? Addressing visitors' preferences for conservation programs

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
The human dimension must be considered in conservation actions. This article presents a discrete choice experiment that analyses the preferences of visitors for the conservation programs being developed in a National Park. The experiment allows identifying certain conflicts between the ecological and social dimensions, and the conclusion is that there ...

How Regulatory Costs Impede Financial Technology Gains

European Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While financial technology innovation lowers intermediation costs, regulatory frictions may prevent these gains from reaching long‐term investors and borrowers. Using variation in retail investor participation driven by state securities registration lapses in peer‐to‐peer lending, we demonstrate that regulatory frictions are associated with ...

Use of an Oral Health‐Related Quality of Life Instrument to Measure Unmet Dental Care Needs in Adults With Inherited Bleeding Disorders

Haemophilia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Preventive dental care is vital for individuals with bleeding disorders to reduce the need for potentially invasive procedures. Although dental care is a mandated function of U.S. federally supported hemophilia treatment centers (HTCs), access to dental care is widely variable.
