The “Zhang Xuefeng Effect”: Information Intervention and the College Admission Problem in China

open access: yesInternational Studies of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Information regarding the quality of colleges and labor‐market prospects of majors plays an important role in parents' and students' school‐choice decisions, particularly when these decisions are crucially relevant to the students' long‐run career choices and life earnings.

Impact of Geography on Institutions in Agricultural and Nomadic Societies

open access: yesInternational Studies of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How geography affects the choice of institutions is studied in a theoretical model. In this model, nations are located around a circle. Rulers compete through choosing tax rates, the level of military spending, and the degree of formality of institutions. Geographic condition is captured by population density.

Joint Estimation and Bandwidth Selection in Partially Parametric Models

open access: yesJournal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We propose a single‐step approach to estimating a model with both a known nonlinear parametric component and an unknown nonparametric component. We study the large sample behavior of a simultaneous optimization routine that estimates both the parameter vector of the parametric component and the bandwidth vector used to smooth the unknown ...

A Consistent Heteroskedasticity‐Robust LM‐Type Specification Test for Semiparametric Models

open access: yesJournal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article develops a heteroskedasticity‐robust Lagrange Multiplier‐type specification test for semiparametric regression models. The test is able to detect a wide class of deviations from the null hypothesis. The test statistic is based on the estimates from the restricted semiparametric model, can be computed in a regression‐based way, and
