Estimating Financial Frictions under LearningGRAPE
The paper studies the implication of initial beliefs and associated confidence under adaptive learning. We first illustrate how prior beliefs determine learning dynamics and the evolution of endogenous variables in a small DSGE model with credit-constrained agents, in which rational expectations are replaced by constant-gain adaptive learning. We then examine how discretionary experimenting with new macroeconomic policies is affected by expectations that agents have in relation to these policies. More specifically, we show that a newly introduced macro-prudential policy that aims at making leverage counter-cyclical can lead to substantial increase in fluctuations under learning, when the economy is hit by financial shocks, if beliefs reflect imperfect information about the policy experiment.

Elementi storico economici della statistica nella società italiana nel lungo periodo
We examine the historical dynamics of government debt in Italy, from 1861 to 2009. Controlling debt dynamics for fiscal feedback policies of the Barro-Bohn style the debt-GDP ratio is found to be mean-reverting. Mean reversion in the debt-GDP ratio is due not only to a nominal growth dividend, but also to a positive response of primary surpluses to variations in outstanding debt.
There is indeed significant evidence that, over the history of Italy, fiscal policy makers have reacted to the accumulation of debt, taking corrective measures to rule out potential long-term sustainability problems.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
A workshop hosted by the South African Journal of Science aimed at postgraduate students and early career researchers with little or no experience in writing and publishing journal articles.

1. The data fusion of EU-SILC and HBS at ISTAT

Workshop Comitato Consultivo per le Metodologie Statistiche - Roma, 19 November 2018
2. Overview
Statement of the data fusion problem and non-identifiability of the
model for the data
How to deal with non-identifiability: matching error and uncertainty
Conditional independence assumption
Results from real data
Has data fusion a future?
Lessons learnt from committee advices
Mauro Scanu – workshop CCMS, 19 november 2018
3. Data fusion
Two independent samples drawn from the same population
The only common information is in the X variables (glue, according to
Reiter)
Example: (Y1) expenditure variables, (Y2) income variables (e.g. EU
Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) and Household
Budget Survey (HBS))
Y1 X
y1,1 x1
y1,2 x2
… …
Y1,nA xnA
X Y2
x1 y2,1
x2 y2,2
… …
xnB Y2,nB

Mauro Scanu – workshop CCMS, 19 november 2018
Y1
Y2
Red parts not observed
How can we estimate
the joint (Y1, Y2)
distribution?
4. Data fusion
Two main methodological problems in the statistical matching context:
The model for (X, Y1, Y2) is not identifiable given the data sets A and B
(unless specific models are imposed)
The two samples could be drawn according to complex survey
designs, and it is not of immediate solution how to use survey weights
in the statistical matching context
Let’s focus just on the first issue
Mauro Scanu – workshop CCMS, 19 november 2018
5. Data fusion: identifiability
If instead of the samples A and B there was complete knowledge on the
distribution of (Y1,X) and (Y2,X), the joint (Y1,Y2,X) distribution is still
problematic for Y1 and Y2 given X. Generally speaking, it is possible to
say that
These are the traditional Fréchet bounds for cumulative distribution
functions. This set of distribution is named uncertainty set
They can be complemented with additional information, so that this space
of distributions becomes narrower
Mauro Scanu – workshop CCMS, 19 november 2018
6. Data fusion on real data
Let’s consider HBS and EU-SILC, again.
X Y2 X Y1
SILC HBS
Y1 = expenditures
Y2 = income
Mauro Scanu – workshop CCMS, 19 november 2018
Without any other information, it is possible to reconstruct a joint distribution
between Y1 and Y2 by Fréchet bounds.
Trick: Use the «income variable» observed in HBS
Assumption: unreliable in the income value, reliable on the household
order from the lowest to the highest income
Otherwise, let’s specify a model that is estimable given the data at hand
F(y1,y2|X)=F(y1|x)F(y2|x)
7. Data fusion on real data
X Y2
Other common var. Y*2 Y2
X Y1
Other common var. Y*2 Y1
SILC HBS
Y1 = classes of expenditures
Y2 = classes of income Y*2 = classes of ordered income
Mauro Scanu – workshop CCMS, 19 november 2018
Y*2 is highly associated with Y2 .
According to Zhang (2015) Y2 and Y*2 are proxy: same support and similar
definition. Hence, conditional independence can be assumed
F(y1,y2|X)=F(y1|x)F(y2|x)
8. Data fusion: uncertainty and CIA estimate
Uncertainty: We did not impose any constraint on (Y1, Y2) or (Y1, Y2|X)
Model: Conditional independence between (Y1, Y2|X) is just one of the
possible distributions, given knowledge on (Y1|X) and (Y2|X)
The estimate under the Conditional Independence Assumption is just one of the
possible and equally plausible estimates we can get from the two sample
surveys
Is this assumption correct?
Mauro Scanu – workshop CCMS, 19 november 2018
9. As part of the revision of the EU-SILC within the new Framework
Regulation on Social Statistics (IESS), Italy implemented the ESS
Agreement by testing the rolling module on Consumption & Wealth
(C&W) into EU-SILC 2017
The module collected five consumption target variables:
• Food at home
• Food outside home
• Public Transport
• Private Transport
• Regular Savings
Italy decided to continue to collect the most relevant variables of the
C&W module also in 2018 and 2019 to have consolidated and useful
proxy variables
An update: what we’ll have in the near future
Mauro Scanu – workshop CCMS, 19 november 2018
10. An update: The CIA is a good model!
The variables of the C&W module, plus the housing costs annually
available, should represent a significant part of total consumption that can
allow to estimate a total consumption variable also into SILC
These are some of the partial correlations on income and module
consumption (really observed joint data!) given some common variables
including Y*2 as observed in EU-SILC

11. What can we learn
• Duplicate this exercise? Why not! E.g. anytime microdata sets on the joint
(income, Z) are not observed and cannot be recreated by record linkage (e.g.
Z from multipurpose, labour force, time use surveys, …), but…
• The important thing is: plan in advance the presence of the correct glue (in
our case Y*2) in the data sets to fuse. For instance: a question on income that
will never be analyzed for its answers, but as a glue in order to attach income
as detected in EU-SILC. For social surveys, glue can even be on the pop.
Census.
• A word of caution: Taken income from EU-SILC and its proxy/glue Y*2 data
fusion is able to recreate information on (income, Z) whatever Z in the other
survey, also multivariate.
Mauro Scanu – workshop CCMS, 19 november 2018
It does not work the other way round!
12. Lessons learnt from the committee
1. Connect data fusion with ecological inference
2. Pay attention to estimates based on calibration estimators, and the
dependence relationship between the variables
3. It is extremely lucky if we are in the condition to fuse data that cannot be
linked: don’t be too “multivariate”
4. Data fusion results dissemination can be possible, with aggregate data.
Microdata are less appropriate to disseminate, because users will use
them as “real data” without any caution
5. Are uncertainty sets always intervals?
