Internal Migration and Life Satisfaction: Well-Being Effects of Moving as a Young Adult Migration typically leads to higher income, but its association with life satisfaction remains unclear. Is migration accompanied by an increase in life satisfaction? If it is, is the increase in income responsible or are other life domains driving the satisfaction changes? These two questions are addressed u...

This paper complements existing cross-section and panel data analyses of the interaction of income and health outcomes by applying a cointegrating VAR model of income and health to time-series data for several Scandinavian countries. The results are consistent with previous crosssection and panel results, but also highlight the complexity and heterogeneity of the dynamic relationships that gene...

T he main objective of this study is to estimate the spatial spillover effects of the economic growth among the selected countries of MENA region. For this purpose, the Spatial Durbin Model in the framework of spatial dynamic panel data was estimated during the period of 1970-2010. The spatial Diagnostic tests affirmed the occurrence of spatial positive autocorrelation phenomenon for...

In this paper, we investigate the impact of aggregate and idiosyncratic economic shocks on health using data on self-reported health status and mortality from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics. First, we document a large correlation between poor macroeconomic conditions and mortality for working-aged men. This correlation is robust to controls for baseline health which mitigates concerns that ...

In this note we revisit the use of exclusion restrictions in the semiparametric binary choice panel data model introduced in Honore and Lewbel (2002). We show that in a dynamic panel data setting (where one of the pre-determined explanatory variables is the lagged dependent variable), the exclusion restriction in Honore and Lewbel (2002) implicitly requires serial independence condition on an o...

This paper provides evidence that domestic opportunities to share risk have contributed to lower rates of private saving. Two econometric procedures are used in the analysis: (1) traditional instrumental variables estimation and (2) dynamic panel methods. The results reveal a negative relationship between domestic opportunities to diversify risk and aggregate private saving rates in a cross-sec...

this study is an attempt to develop a model of the simultaneous structure of the aggregate dynamic supply and demand to be used for estimation of parameters from data related to iran’s economy. the method for developing the model is an application of the dynamic and simultaneous process of aggregate supply and demand. obtained differential equations are used for solve the model. to estimate the...

This article provides a selective review on the recent developments of some nonlinear nonparametric and semiparametric panel data models. In particular, we focus on two types of modelling frameworks: nonparametric and semiparametric panel data models with deterministic trends, and semiparametric single-index panel data models with individual effects. We also review various estimation methodolog...

In this paper we consider a panel data model with error components that are both spatially and time-wise correlated. The model blends specifications typically considered in the spatial literature with those considered in the error components literature. We introduce generalizations of the generalized moments estimators suggested in Kelejian and Prucha (1999. A generalized moments estimator for ...

this study examines technical efficiency in iran's banking system using unbalanced panel data for 17 state and private banks during the 1997-2009 period. therefore, technical efficiency of banks was measured through estimating a translog cost function in the form of a panel sfa error compound model. then, the effect of underlying factors including both individual and structural (ownership/...
