The decline of the Swedish model and the limits to active labour market policy (1995)

Correlation testing in time series, spatial and cross-sectional data
We provide a general class of tests for correlation in time series, spatial, spatio-temporal and cross-sectional data. We motivate our focus by reviewing how computational and theoretical...
Semiparametric Estimation of Fractional Cointegration
A semiparametric bivariate fractionally cointegrated system is considered, integration orders possibly being unknown and I(0) unobservable inputs having nonparametric spectral density. Two kinds of...
Efficient estimation of the semiparametric spatial autoregressive model
Efficient semiparametric and parametric estimates are developed for a spatial autoregressive model, containing non stochastic explanatory variables and innovations suspected to be non-normal. The...
Finite Sample Performance in Cointegration Analysis of Nonlinear Time Series with Long Memory
Nonlinear functions of multivariate financial time series can exhibit long memory and fractional cointegration. However, tools for analysing these phenomena have principally been justified under...
DIAGNOSTIC TESTING FOR COINTEGRATION
We develop a sequence of tests for specifying the cointegrating rank of, possiblyfractional, multiple time series. Memory parameters of observables are treated asunknown, as are those of possible...

The bootstrap and the Edgeworth correction for semiparametric averaged derivatives
In a number of semiparametric models, smoothing seems necessary in order to obtain estimates of the parametric component which are asymptotically normal and converge at parametric rate. However,...
Modified whittle estimation of multilateral spatial models
We consider the estimation of parametric models for stationary spatial or spatio-temporal data on a d-dimensional lattice, for d = 2. The achievement of asymptotic efficiency under Gaussianity, and...
Active Labour-Market Policies: A Case of Evidence-Based Policy-Making?
The 1990s was a decade of renewed enthusiasm for active labour-market policies. However, it is not clear that this was the result of an appreciation of the evidence on the effectiveness of different...
