Residential noise exposure and health : evidence from aviation noise and birth outcomes
Argys, Laura M.; Averett, Susan; Yang, Muzhe - 2019
), we examine the impact of exposure to excessive noise levels on birth outcomes. Using birth records that include mothers … mothers living near the airport in the direction of the runway. We utilize exogenous variation in noise exposure triggered by … NextGen, which unintentionally increased noise in communities affected by the new flight patterns. Our finding informs policy …

Homevoters vs. leasevoters : a spatial analysis of airport effects
Ahlfeldt, Gabriel M.; Maennig, Wolfgang - 2013 - Version: March 2013
We use a public referendum on a new air traffic concept in Berlin, Germany as a natural experiment to analyze how the interaction of tenure and capitalization effects shapes the outcome of direct democracy processes. We distinguish between homevoters, i.e., voters who are homeowners, and...

Measuring Nonlinear Serial Dependencies Using the Mutual Information Coefficient
Orzeszko, Witold - In: Dynamic Econometric Models 10 (2010), pp. 97-106
Construction, estimation and application of the mutual information measure have been presented in this paper. The simulations have been carried out to verify its usefulness to detect nonlinear serial dependencies. Moreover, the mutual information measure has been applied to the indices and the...

Eliciting Private Information with Noise: The Case of Randomized Response
Blume, Andreas; Lai, Ernest K.; Lim, Wooyoung - Institut für Mathematische Wirtschaftsforschung, … - 2013
The paper formalizes Warner's (1965) randomized response technique (RRT) as a game and implements it experimentally, thus linking game theoretic approaches to randomness in communication with survey practice in the field and a novel implementation in the lab. As predicted by our model and in...

Analysis of the dependence structure in econometric time series
Hazan, Aurélien; Vigneron, Vincent - HAL - 2008
The various scales of a signal maintain relations of dependence the on es with the others. Those can vary in time and reveal speed changes in the studied phenomenon. In the goal to establish these changes, one shall compute first the wavelet transform of a signal, on various scales. Then one...

Testing serial dependence in the stock markets of the G7 countries, Portugal, Spain and Greece
Ferreira, Paulo - Centro de Estudos e Formação Avançada em Gestão e … - 2012
This paper utilizes several tests to analyze serial dependence in financial data. In an attempt to provide a better explanation of the behavior of financial markets, we utilized tests that make use of mutual information and developed a detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA). Applying these tests...
