Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
This paper explores a semiparametric version of a time varying regression, where a subset of the regressors have a fixed coefficient and the rest a time varying one. We provide an estimation method and establish associated theoretical properties of the estimates. In particular, we show that the estimator of the fixed regression coefficient preserves the parametric rate of convergence. Theoretical properties of the estimator are confirmed by Monte Carlo experiments and illustrated by an empirical example.
