Can Direct Payments Facilitate Agricultural Commercialisation: Evidence from a Transition Country
Kostov P., Davidova S., Bailey A., Gjokaj E., Halimi K.
We investigate the impact of direct payments on agricultural commercialisation in Kosovo. Kosovo is one of the poorest countries in Europe but, with European assistance, provides substantial funds to support agriculture, made up of many small and often semi‐subsistence farms. Thus, the effect of this support is a central policy issue. Identifying the effect of direct payments on market participation faces endogeneity issues arising from the possible simultaneous determination of participation in support programmes and market participation. In order to achieve proper identification of the endogenous direct payments, we use a strategy of targeted identification search that employs several different methodological approaches. We find that direct payments for fruit and vegetables, and those for cereals and oilseeds have a positive effect on market participation. However, we cannot identify any definite effect of livestock payments.

We estimate the effect of higher education on abortion probability in Russia via hierarchical (recursive) probit model with nonrandom selection. To check the robustness of the results modifications of this model accounting for heteroscedasticity and non-normality of random errors are also applied. We have found statistical evidence that higher education decrease abortion probability. Furthermore, the ...

We propose a two-step estimation procedure for multinomial endogenous switching model assuming joint normality of random errors. Simulated data analysis suggests that our method outperforms popular alternatives when independence of irrelevant alternatives (IIA) assumption is violated. We also apply our method to estimate marriage male premium. We have found statistical evidence that this premium is ...

This paper is devoted to fiscal shock identification based on the assumption of non-Gaussianity of the errors, which can be easily tested. We use additional co-kurtosis conditions in GMM estimation of the AB-model to estimate the dynamic effects of fiscal shocks and find fiscal multipliers in the U.S. economy. Our approach results in higher tax ...
