Semiparametrically Efficient R-Estimation for Dynamic Location-Scale Models
We define rank-based estimators (R-estimators) for semiparametric time series models in whichthe conditional location and scale depend on a Euclidean parameter, while the innovation density isan infinite-dimensional nuisance. Applications include linear and nonlinear models, featuring eitherhomo- or heteroskedasticity (e.g. AR-ARCH and discretely observed diffusions with jumps). We...

The Distance Puzzle and Low‐Income Countries: An Update
The ‘distance effect' measuring the elasticity of trade flows to distance has been found to be rising since the early 1970s in a host of studies based on the gravity model, leading observers to call it the ‘distance puzzle'. However, this puzzle is regularly challenged by new developments in the specification of the gravity equation or in its estimations. We propose an...

Trade Diversification, Income, and Growth: What Do We Know?
This paper surveys the empirical literature on export and import diversification and its linkages with growth. We review widely used measures of diversification and the evidence about their evolution focusing on how export diversification relates to trade liberalization and economic development. We also discuss the linkages between trade diversification and productivity at the firm...
