Economic development and the return to human capital: a smooth coefficient semiparametric approach
(2006)
This paper investigates the impact of human capital on the process of economic growth by allowing the contribution of traditional inputs (capital and labour) as well as that of human capital to vary both across countries ...
Is the financial development and economic growth relationship nonlinear?
(2007)
Using nonparametric estimation techniques we find that, in contrast to recent research, the finance-growth relationship is linear when the previously documented nonlinearity between initial per capital income, human capital ...
European economics: an analysis based on publications in the core journals
(1999)
In this paper we provide a ranking of European economics institutions and countries based on publications in a core set of 10 economic journals from 1991 to 1996. We find that the three leading universities in Europe are ...
Rankings of academic journals and institutions in economics
(2003)
We conducted a worldwide ranking of academic institutions that produce research in a list of thirty top research journals in economics. We also computed journal rankings for the same period and hence we do not rely on ...
Specification and sensitivity analysis of cross-country growth regressions
(2002)
We compare the sensitivity analysis of cross-country growth regressions based on extreme bounds analysis to a more direct specification testing approach using non-nested hypotheses tests. The results suggest that those ...
A non-linear sensitivity analysis of cross-country growth regressions
(2000)
We extend the sensitivity analysis of cross-country growth regressions of Levine and Renelt (1992) by introducing a semi-parametric formulation of their regression function. Our results differ from theirs in how certain ...
