This paper extends endogenous economic growth models to incorporate knowledge externality. We explores whether spatial knowledge spillovers among regions exist, whether spatial knowledge spillovers promote regional innovative activities, and whether external knowledge spillovers affect the evolution of regional innovations in the long run. We empirically verify the theoretical results through applying spatial statistics and econometric model in the analysis of panel data of 31 regions in China. An accurate estimate of the range of knowledge spillovers is achieved and the convergence of regional knowledge growth rate is found, with clear evidences that developing regions benefit more from external knowledge spillovers than developed regions.

Empirical work often uses treatment assigned following geographic boundaries. When the effects of treatment cross over borders, classical difference-in-differences estimation produces biased estimates for the average treatment effect. In this paper,
I introduce a potential outcomes framework to model spillover effects and decompose the estimates bias in two parts: (1) the control group no longer identifies the counterfactual trend because their outcomes are affected by treatment and (2) changes in treated units outcomes reflect the effect of their own treatment status and the effect from the treatment status of close units. I propose estimation strategies that can remove both sources of bias and semi-parametrically estimate the spillover effects themselves. I extend Callaway and SantAnna (2020) to allow for event-study estimates that control for spillovers. To highlight the importance of spillover effects, I revisit analyses of three place-based interventions.
This paper studies the asymptotic convergence of computed dynamic models when the shock is unbounded. Most dynamic economic models lack a closed-form solution. As such, approximate solutions by numerical methods are utilized. Since the researcher can
not directly evaluate the exact policy function and the associated exact likelihood, it is imperative that the approximate likelihood asymptotically converges -- as well as to know the conditions of convergence -- to the exact likelihood, in order to justify and validate its usage. In this regard, Fernandez-Villaverde, Rubio-Ramirez, and Santos (2006) show convergence of the likelihood, when the shock has compact support. However, compact support implies that the shock is bounded, which is not an assumption met in most dynamic economic models, e.g., with normally distributed shocks. This paper provides theoretical justification for most dynamic models used in the literature by showing the conditions for convergence of the approximate invariant measure obtained from numerical simulations to the exact invariant measure, thus providing the conditions for convergence of the likelihood.
This paper provides a thorough analysis on the dynamic structures and predictability of Chinas Consumer Price Index (CPI-CN), with a comparison to those of the United States. Despite the differences in the two leading economies, both series can be we
ll modeled by a class of Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average Model with Covariates (S-ARIMAX). The CPI-CN series possess regular patterns of dynamics with stable annual cycles and strong Spring Festival effects, with fitting and forecasting errors largely comparable to their US counterparts. Finally, for the CPI-CN, the diffusion index (DI) approach offers improved predictions than the S-ARIMAX models.
We show how to convert divergent series, which typically occur in many applications in physics, into rapidly convergent inverse factorial series. This can be interpreted physically as a novel resummation of perturbative series. Being convergent, thes
e new series allow rigorous extrapolation from an asymptotic region with a large parameter, to the opposite region where the parameter is small. We illustrate the method with various physical examples, and discuss how these convergent series relate to standard methods such as Borel summation, and also how they incorporate the physical Stokes phenomenon. We comment on the relation of these results to Dysons physical argument for the divergence of perturbation theory. This approach also leads naturally to a wide class of relations between bosonic and fermionic partition functions, and Klein-Gordon and Dirac determinants.
Instrumental variables (IV) regression is a popular method for the estimation of the endogenous treatment effects. Conventional IV methods require all the instruments are relevant and valid. However, this is impractical especially in high-dimensional
models when we consider a large set of candidate IVs. In this paper, we propose an IV estimator robust to the existence of both the invalid and irrelevant instruments (called R2IVE) for the estimation of endogenous treatment effects. This paper extends the scope of Kang et al. (2016) by considering a true high-dimensional IV model and a nonparametric reduced form equation. It is shown that our procedure can select the relevant and valid instruments consistently and the proposed R2IVE is root-n consistent and asymptotically normal. Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate that the R2IVE performs favorably compared to the existing high-dimensional IV estimators (such as, NAIVE (Fan and Zhong, 2018) and sisVIVE (Kang et al., 2016)) when invalid instruments exist. In the empirical study, we revisit the classic question of trade and growth (Frankel and Romer, 1999).
