GARCH Estimation
This post details GARCH(1,1) model and its estimation manually in Python, compared to using libraries and in Stata. For GJR-GARCH(1,1), see my documentation on frds.io.

, a Python program I wrote. It features:
Empirical researchers have been using difference-in-differences (DiD) estimation to identify an event's Average Treatment effect on the Treated entities (ATT). This post is my understanding and a non-technical note of the DiD approach as it evolves over the past years, especially on the problems and solutions when multiple treatment events are staggered.
Since Stata 15, we can search, browse and import almost a million U.S. and international economic and financial time series made available by the St. Louis Federal Reserve's Federal Research Economic Data. This post briefly explains this great feature.
Can we estimate the coefficient of gender while controlling for individual fixed effects? This sounds impossible as an individual's gender typically does not vary and hence would be absorbed by individual fixed effects. However, Correlated Random Effects (CRE) may actually help.
At last year's FMA Annual Meeting, I learned this CRE estimation technique when discussing a paper titled "Gender Gap in Returns to Publications" by Piotr Spiewanowski, Ivan Stetsyuk and Oleksandr Talavera. Let me recollect my memory and summarize the technique in this post.
Merton (1974) Distance to Default (DD) model is useful in forecasting defaults. This post documents a few ways to empirically estimate Merton DD (and default probability) as in Bharath and Shumway (2008 RFS).
Uninitialized variable in C can be anything (most of the time). I find, in some cases, we can know the value of an uninitialized variable and thus maybe exploit it.
Question
Given a centrifuge with \(n\) holes, can we balance it with \(k\) (\(1\le k \le n\)) identical test tubes?
