Scope economies resulting from the joint offering of loans and savings accounts (as
opposed to loans only) are customarily invoked to promote the transformation of credit-only …

This paper develops an innovative way of estimating a functional-coefficient spatial
autoregressive panel data model with unobserved individual effects which can …

This paper considers the problem of estimating a nonparametric stochastic frontier model
with shape restrictions and when some or all regressors are endogenous. We discuss three …

The existing semiparametric estimators for varying-coefficient fixed-effects models
exclusively assume one-way fixed effects, typically in the dimension of cross-sectional units …

The K-nearest-neighbor (Knn) method is known to be more suitable in fitting
nonparametrically specified curves than the kernel method (with a globally fixed smoothing …

Significant scale economies have been recently cited to rationalize a dramatic growth in the
US retail credit union sector over the past few decades. In this paper, we explore another …

Credit unions differ in the types of financial services they offer to their members. This article
explicitly models this observed heterogeneity using a generalized model of endogenous …

Uplift pressure beneath concrete dams is related to several intrinsic factors such as
geological structure, qualities of grouting and drainage engineering, and so forth. Thus, the …

In this paper, we study the model detection and estimation for varying coefficient panel data
models with fixed effects. We first propose a data transformation approach to eliminate fixed …

Early studies of the generalized transformation panel data model resorted to the identical
marginal distribution of the error term over time. This stationarity condition is restrictive for …
