MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: Giraitis, Kapetanios, and Marcellino (Journal of Econometrics, 2020) proposed a kernel-based time-varying coefficients IV estimator. By using entirely different code, We broadly replicate the simulation results and the empirical application on the Phillips Curve but we note that a small coding mistake might have affected some of the reported results. Further, we extend the results by using a different sample and many kernel functions; we find that the estimator is remarkably robust across a wide range of smoothing choices, but the effect of outliers may be less obvious than expected.
