Temperature and Income: Reconciling New Cross-Sectional and Panel Estimates
It has long been observed that hot countries tend to be poor. A correlation between heat and poverty was noted as early as Montesquieu (1750) and Huntington (1915), and it has been repeatedly demonstrated in contemporary data (e.g. Nordhaus 2006). Looking at a cross-section of the world in the year 2000, national income per-capita falls 8.5% per degree Celsius rise in temperature (see Table 2 b...
متن کاملCross-sectional versus panel estimates of union wage effects
The main objective of this paper is to compare and reconcile the cross-sectional and the panel estimates of union wage effects. It uses Panel Survey of Income Dynamics (PSID) data for a period of 6 years (1979-1984). Unlike what Freeman (1984) predicted (i.e., panel union wage estimates would be smaller than pure cross-sectional estimates due to the cumulative nature of the errors in reporting ...
متن کاملCross Sectional and Panel Estimation of Convergence
Cross sectional estimation of convergence regressions is known to be hazardous if there is convergence towards heterogeneous steady state values. In this paper, Monte Carlo methods are used to investigate the implications of this parameter heterogeneity problem. The cross sectional and pooled OLS estimators are compared with a panel estimator which is unaffected by heterogeneity. If there is he...
متن کاملMethodological Issues in Cross-Sectional and Panel Estimates of the Human Resource-Firm Performance Link
Because companies differ in factors such as management ability that may lead to both high performance work systems and enhanced firm performance, conventional estimates of the effects of human resource (HR) management practices on firm performance may be biased upward. Alternatively, if HR management practices are measured with error, estimates of their effects on firm performance may be biased...
متن کاملHow Does Charitable Giving Respond to Incentives and Income? New Estimates from Panel Data
We estimate the elasticity of charitable giving with respect to persistent and transitory price and income changes using a 1979–2006 panel of tax returns. Our estimation procedure allows for anticipation of and gradual adjustment to tax changes, controls for various potential sources of omitted variable bias via fi xed effects and income-class specifi c year dummies, and allows for a fl exible ...
