Most economic applications rely on a large number of time series, which typically have a remarkable clustering structure and they are available over different spans. To handle these databases, we combined the expectation–maximization (EM) algorithm outlined by Stock and Watson (JBES, 2002) and the estimation algorithm for large factor models with an unknown number of…

We assess the unequal effects of the Great Recession on the labor market outcomes of different cohorts of young individuals and education groups in Spain. We provide empirical evidence that young workers in Spain suffer from a high unemployment rate because of a low job-finding rate and a high separation rate. We also document that…

The existence of a ‘multiplier’, ‘compositional’ or ‘social context effect’ is debated extensively in the literature on school effectiveness. Some researchers have posited that the relationship between social context and achievement is mediated by school, teacher or classroom factors, such as teacher expectations, quality of instruction, or adequacy of school resources. In this context, this…

Abstract This article proposes an innovative approach to evaluate firms’ inefficiency accounting for corporate social responsibility (CRS) activities of firms. In the first step, we estimate dynamic inefficiency for each input, marketable output, CSR output and investment using Data Envelopment Analysis. Dynamic inefficiency measure accounts for the confounding role of adjustment costs related with firms’…

This paper introduces a three-fold Fay-Herriot model with random effects at three hierarchical levels. Small area best linear unbiased predictors of linear indicators are derived from the new model and the corresponding mean squared errors are approximated and estimated analytically and by parametric bootstrap. The problem of influence analysis and model diagnostics is addressed by…

Multivariate observations referring to parts of a whole, so-called compositions or compositional data in statistics, are common across varied scientific fields. This is for example the case when dealing with chemical concentrations, food nutritional contents, election vote shares, investment portfolios, time-use and behavioural patterns, relative abundances, amongst others. Their distinctive feature is that there is…
