A Normality Test for the Mean Estimator

Andersson, Michael K. - Economics Institute for Research (SIR), … - 1999

This note proposes a tool to investigate and demonstrate the adequacy of the central limit theorem in small samples. The suggested testing procedure provides a method to investigate if the mean estimator is approximately normally distributed, given data and sample size at hand. This is important...

Is Momentum Due to Data-Snooping?

Ericsson, Johan; González, Andrés - Economics Institute for Research (SIR), … - 2003

This paper explores the profitability of portfolio-based momentum strategies. The data consists of all NYSE, AMEX, and NASDAQ stocks on the CRSP database. The analysis considers the period July 1963 to December 2002 and the tests are performed on portfolios formed on industry, size and...

Bootstrapping the Malmquist Productivity Index: A Simulation Study

Löthgren, Mickael - Economics Institute for Research (SIR), … - 1997

This paper presents a Monte Carlo simulation study of the bootstrap algorithm proposed by Löthgren and Tambour (1997 …) for calculation of bootstrap confidence intervals for the firm-specific Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) Malmquist … productivity index. The simulation results indicate that the coverage accuracy of bootstrap confidence intervals are near the …
