Heterogeneous Panel

In this study, the effect of real exchange rate on bilateral trade balance between Turkey and its 25 main trade partners is investigated for the period of 1996 - 2015 with heterogeneous panel data techniques. Trade balance model is estimated by using Mean Group (MG) estimator, which allows parameter heterogeneity, Common Correlated Effects Mean Group (CCEMG), and Augmented Mean Group (AMG) estimators, which both allow cross-section dependency and heterogeneity. Results indicate that the real exchange rate elasticity of the trade balance ranges between -0.40 and -0.45 and Marshall-Lerner (ML) condition is valid for Turkey. According to the results, the foreign income elasticity of trade balance ranges between 1.54 and 2.84, while for domestic income elasticity, it is found between -0.75 and -1.38. Country-specific results show that ML condition is valid for the USA, Belgium, Spain, Switzerland, Romania, and Russia at the bilateral level according to both CCEMG and AMG estimators.

O objetivo deste trabalho é testar a hipótese de flypaper na administração pública municipal do estado do Ceará.Para tal, foi construído um painel de dados com informações sobre os gastos, a arrecadação, a população e as transferências constitucionais para os 184 municípios cearenses entre 1999 e 2009. Tais informações foram extraídas juntoà Secretaria do Tesouro Nacional e ao Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística. A metodologia utilizada remete-se aomodelo de dados em painel com efeito aleatório. Os resultados destacam que a elasticidade gasto-renda supera aelasticidade gasto-transferência e, portanto, as administrações municipais estão isentas da prática descrita pelo efeitoflypaper.Palavras-chave: Flypaper; gasto; transferência; dados em painelANALYZING THE BEHAVIOR OF THE PUBLIC SPENDING IN CEARÁ’S CITIESAbstract: The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis flypaper in municipal public administration in the state of Ceará.To this end, was built a panel with information on expenditures, revenues, population and constitutional transfers to the 184municipalities of Ceará between 1999 and 2009. Such information was extracted together with the National Treasury and theBrazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. The methodology used is referred to the panel data with random effect model.The results highlight that the elasticity spending exceeds income-elasticity worn-transfer and, therefore, local governments are exempt from the practice described by flypaper effect.Keywords: Flypaper, expenditure, transfer, panel data.

Market Saturation

Direct-to-consumer (DTC) agricultural sales doubled in the United States between 1992 and 2007 and then plateaued between 2007 and 2012. It is not clear whether the plateau in sales was attributable to the recession, market saturation, an aging population, or other factors. We estimate the influence of socioeconomic factors in metropolitan areas on DTC agricultural sales between 1992 and 2012 in thirteen Northeast states using county-level panel data. We find that the income elasticity of DTC agricultural purchases ranged from 2.2 to 2.7 and that counties in metropolitan areas did not have higher DTC agricultural sales than other counties, ceteris paribus.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the dynamics between banking penetration, infrastructure development and regional growth within a multivariate framework in 23 Indian states over the period 2000-2012. Design/methodology/approach The study employs the multivariate panel data framework to analyze the dynamics between banking penetration, infrastructure development and regional growth within the vector error correction model (VECM) framework. Findings The findings confirm the long-run equilibrium relationship between banking penetration, infrastructure and income for the panel. Long-run income elasticity of infrastructure, estimated using Panel dynamic ordinary least square, is positive, statistically significant and has a value of 0.1531. Further, results show bidirectional causality between income and aggregate infrastructure and unidirectional causality running from banking penetration to income and aggregate infrastructure in the long run. However, there is unidirectional causality running from income to banking penetration and aggregate infrastructure and from banking penetration to aggregate infrastructure in the short run. Research limitations/implications The study mainly concentrates on the 2000-2012 period and includes transportation (roadways and railways), energy (including electricity) and telecommunication as indicators for infrastructure, as the data for these sectors are easily available at the state level. Second, this study employs the panel data technique as it has a shorter data count. Practical implications In order to minimize the existing regional disparity in a developing India, national infrastructure policies should be aimed toward improving the overall access to as well as the quality of infrastructure (existing as well as newly planned). Further, widening the banking outreach at the bottom level may further help the economy as well as the infrastructure sector in mobilizing long-term finances for productive investments, in order to have a balanced, more inclusive and faster growth in the long run. Originality/value The study employs panel unit root, cointegration and Granger causality tests within the panel VECM framework to explore the dynamics among the system variables. Further, the study creates a composite index of infrastructure with principle component analysis.
