TL;DR: In this paper, the authors address the endogeneity of free trade agreements using instrumental-variable (IV) techniques, control function (CF) techniques and panel-data techniques; IV and CF approaches do not adjust for endogeneity well, but a panel data approach does.

TL;DR: In this article, a model of growth departs from both the Malthusian and neoclassical approaches by including investments in human capital and assumes that rates of return on human capital investments rise, rather than, decline, as the stock of human capital increases, until the stock becomes large.
Abstract: Our model of growth departs from both the Malthusian and neoclassical approaches by including investments in human capital We assume, crucially, that rates of return on human capital investments rise, rather than, decline, as the stock of human capital increases, until the stock becomes large This arises because the education sector uses human capital note intensively than either the capital producing sector of the goods producing sector This produces multiple steady scares: an undeveloped steady stare with little human capital, low rates of return on human capital investments and high fertility, and a developed steady stats with higher rates of return a large, and, perhaps, growing stock of human capital and low fertility Multiple steady states mean that history and luck are critical determinants of a country's growth experience

TL;DR: In this paper, a multivariate model, identifying monetary policy and allowing for simultaneity and regime switching in coefficients and variances, is confronted with U.S. data since 1959 and the best fit is with a model that allows time variation in structural disturbance variances only.
Abstract: A multivariate model, identifying monetary policy and allowing for simultaneity and regime switching in coefficients and variances, is confronted with U.S. data since 1959. The best fit is with a model that allows time variation in structural disturbance variances only. Among models that also allow for changes in equation coefficients, the best fit is for a model that allows coefficients to change only in the monetary policy rule. That model allows switching among three main regimes and one rarely and briefly occurring regime. The three main regimes correspond roughly to periods when most observers believe that monetary policy actually differed, and the differences in policy behavior are substantively interesting, though statistically ill determined. The estimates imply monetary targeting was central in the early '80s but was also important sporadically in the '70s. The changes in regime were essential neither to the rise in inflation in the '70s nor to its decline in the '80s.

TL;DR: In this paper, rank conditions for structural vector autoregressions (SVARs) are defined and checked as a matrix-filling problem and applied to a wide class of identifying restrictions, including linear and certain nonlinear restrictions.
Abstract: Structural vector autoregressions (SVARs) are widely used for policy analysis and to provide stylized facts for dynamic general equilibrium models. Yet there have been no workable rank conditions to ascertain whether an SVAR is globally identified. When identifying restrictions such as long-run restrictions are imposed on impulse responses, there have been no efficient algorithms for small-sample estimation and inference. To fill these important gaps in the literature, this paper makes four contributions. First, we establish general rank conditions for global identification of both overidentified and exactly identified models. Second, we show that these conditions can be checked as a simple matrix- filling exercise and that they apply to a wide class of identifying restrictions, including linear and certain nonlinear restrictions. Third, we establish a very simple rank condition for exactly identified models that amounts to a straightforward counting exercise. Fourth, we develop a number of efficient algorithms for small-sample estimation and inference.
