Effects of EU dairy policy reform for Dutch dairy farming: a primal approach using GMM estimation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This paper estimates a production function for milk using ageneralised method of moments estimator to avoid the endogeneityproblem. Using the first-order conditions for profit maximisation,the economic effects for individual Dutch dairy farms of the2003 EU dairy policy reform are analysed. With an expected milkprice decrease of 21 per cent, profit decreases on average by22 per cent. EU direct payments compensate for roughly 53 percent of this fall in profit. The profit reduction means that69 per cent of all small farms have negative income from farming,compared with 15 per cent in the initial situation. 相似文献

A key application of long memory time series models concerns inflation. Long memory implies that shocks have a long-lasting
effect. It may however be that empirical evidence for long memory is caused by neglecting one or more level shifts. Since
such level shifts are not unlikely for inflation, where the shifts may be caused by sudden oil price shocks, we examine whether
evidence for long memory (indicated by the relevance of an ARFIMA model) in G7 inflation rates is spurious or exaggerated.
Our main findings are that apparent long memory is quite resistant to level shifts, although for a few inflation rates we
find that evidence for long memory disappears.

We provide a detailed discussion of time series modelling of daily data in general and daily tax revenues in particular. The main feature of the daily tax revenue series is the pattern within calendar months. Standard time series methods for seasonal adjustment and forecasting cannot be used since the number of banking days per calendar month varies and because there are two levels of seasonality: between months and within months. We propose a daily time series model based on unobserved components that allows for the classic decomposition into trend, seasonal plus irregular, but it also includes components for intra-monthly, trading-day and length-of-month effects. Such components typically rely on stochastic cubic spline, polynomial and dummy variable functions. State space techniques are used for the recursive computation of the likelihood and forecasts functions with special allowance for irregular spacing. The model is operational for daily forecasting at the Dutch Ministry of Finance. We present the model specification and discuss estimation and forecasting results up to December 1999. A comparative forecast evaluation is also presented. 相似文献

The basic structural time series model has been designed for the modelling and forecasting of seasonal economic time series. In this article, we explore a generalization of the basic structural time series model in which the time-varying trigonometric terms associated with different seasonal frequencies have different variances for their disturbances. The contribution of the article is two-fold. The first aim is to investigate the dynamic properties of this frequency-specific Basic Structural Model (BSM). The second aim is to relate the model to a comparable generalized version of the Airline model developed at the US Census Bureau. By adopting a quadratic distance metric based on the restricted reduced form moving-average representation of the models, we conclude that the generalized models have properties that are close to each other compared to their default counterparts. In some settings, the distance between the models is almost zero so that the models can be regarded as observationally equivalent. An extensive empirical study on disaggregated monthly shipment and foreign trade series illustrates the improvements of the frequency-specific extension and investigates the relations between the two classes of models. 相似文献

Generalizations of the KPSS-test for stationarity 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We propose automatic generalizations of the KPSS-test for the null hypothesis of stationarity of a univariate time series. We can use these tests for the null hypotheses of trend stationarity, level stationarity and zero mean stationarity. We introduce the asymptotic null distributions and we determine consistency against relevant nonstationary alternatives. We compare the properties of the tests with those of other proposed tests for stationarity. Monte Carlo simulations support the relevance of the tests when an autoregressive process with large positive autocorrelations is likely under the null hypothesis. 相似文献

We model panel data of crime careers of juveniles from a Dutch Judicial Juvenile Institution. The data are decomposed into a systematic and an individual-specific component, of which the systematic component reflects the general time-varying conditions including the criminological climate. Within a model-based analysis, we treat (1) shared effects of each group with the same systematic conditions, (2) strongly non-Gaussian features of the individual time series, (3) unobserved common systematic conditions, (4) changing recidivism probabilities in continuous time and (5) missing observations. We adopt a non-Gaussian multivariate state-space model that deals with all these issues simultaneously. The parameters of the model are estimated by Monte Carlo maximum likelihood methods. This paper illustrates the methods empirically. We compare continuous time trends and standard discrete-time stochastic trend specifications. We find interesting common time variation in the recidivism behaviour of the juveniles during a period of 13 years, while taking account of significant heterogeneity determined by personality characteristics and initial crime records. 相似文献

We give a short international history of econometric software development, with an emphasis on the origin of the main existing econometric packages. We provide a Dutch perspective on this development. We identify the characteristics of econometric software in comparison with mathematical and statistical software. Finally, a number of recent developments connected with the reuse of code across econometric softwares are discussed. 相似文献

It is shown empirically that mixed autoregressive moving average regression models with generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (Reg-ARMA-GARCH models) can have multimodality in the likelihood that is caused by a dummy variable in the conditional mean. Maximum likelihood estimates at the local and global modes are investigated and turn out to be qualitatively different, leading to different model-based forecast intervals. In the simpler GARCH(p,q) regression model, we derive analytical conditions for bimodality of the corresponding likelihood. In that case, the likelihood is symmetrical around a local minimum. We propose a solution to avoid this bimodality. 相似文献
