Panel data analysis of U.S. coal productivity

Panel Data Analysis of U.S. Coal Productivity

We analyze labor productivity in coal mining in the United States using indices of productivity change associated with the concepts of panel data modeling. This approach is valuable when there is extensive heterogeneity in production units, as with coal mines. We ̄nd substantial returns to scale for coal mining in all geographical regions, and ̄nd that smooth technical progress is exhibited by ...

Financial Development and Economic Growth: Panel Data and Trilateral Analysis

A large body of literatures links financial development to economic growth, yet the channels through which inflation and economic development affect this relationship have been less thoroughly explored. This research takes econometric and trilateral graphic approaches to examine these channels using 99 developing and developed countries during the years 1960-2009. Findings prove that respecti...

the aim of this thesis is an approach for assessing insurer’s solvency for iranian insurance companies. we use of economic data with both time series and cross-sectional variation, thus by using the panel data model will survey the insurer solvency.

Nonlinear Panel Data Analysis

Nonlinear panel data models naturally arise in economic applications, yet their analysis is challenging. Here we provide a progress report on some recent advances in the area. We start by reviewing the properties of random-effects maximum likelihood. We emphasize a link with Bayesian computation and Markov Chain Monte Carlo, which provides a convenient approach to estimation and inference. Rela...
