The present work describes a simple approach to estimating the location of a threshold/change point in a nonparametric regression. This model has connections both to the time-series and regression discontinuity literatures. The estimator leverages a simple decomposition, giving it the form of a semiparametric smooth coefficient model. Optimal bandwidth selection and a suite of testing facilitie...

This study analyses the nonlinear dynamic impact of economic development on income inequality in a prudential policy regime panel 15 emerging markets from 1985–2019. More importantly, we seek to extend existing debate this subject, with roots back seminal work by Kuznets and many others, add twist introducing distinction between (1985–1999) non-prudential (2000–2019), as well threshold level at...

background: in this article, we used a panel smooth transition regression model to estimate the relationship between health expenditure and income. this approach is employed to continuously model changing parameters among countries and during time. it is thus suitable for eliminating heterogeneity among countries and the variability of the relationship between gross domestic product (gdp) and h...

Using panel data we investigate the relationship between income inequality and economic development. We employ a threshold regression model that allows for endogenous income thresholds and find strong evidence of a two-regime split in our sample.  2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.

laffer curve indicates relationship between tax rate and tax income. the aim of this paper is estimating of laffer curve in iranian economy. to do so, we have used threshold regression method. empirical results indicate that since the tax rate is low (the threshold value is less than 0.0848) in two-regime model, tax rate and tax income have a significant positive relationship, but when the tax ...

This study examines the impact of financial inclusiveness on economic growth using a sample 60 countries from 2010 to 2017. A new Index Financial Inclusion (IFI) has been constructed for each country determine their level across time. The main findings dynamic panel threshold estimation technique revealed effect in inclusiveness-growth nexus. We find that is beneficial and positively affects at...

This study aims to obtain empirical evidence of the existence a nonlinear effect imported technology on industrial employment, which has been largely overlooked in literature. To achieve this objective, article employed panel data models using non-linear threshold regression (PTR) approaches for sample developed and developing countries over period technological advancement from 2000 2019. Seve...
