Potential Pitfalls for the Purchasing-Power-Parity Puzzle? Sampling and Specification Biases in Mean-Reversion Tests of the Law of One Price
Taylor, Alan M. - 2000
testing for PPP or LOOP, model specification and data sampling should not proceed without consideration of the actual …

Biased Sampling of Early Users and the Direction of Startup Innovation
Cao, Ruiqing; Koning, Rembrand M.; Nanda, Ramana - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2021
, this gender-product gap shrinks towards zero. Further, consistent with a sampling bias mechanism, we find that the …

Consistent Estimation Using Data From More Than One Sample
Dickens, William T. - 1984
This paper considers the estimation of linear models when group average data from more than one sample is used. Conditions under which OL8 coefficient estimates are consistent are identified. The standard OL8 covariance estimate is shown to be inconsistent and a consistent estimator is proposed....

Sample Selection Bias As a Specification Error (with an Application to the Estimation of Labor Supply Functions)
Heckman, James J. - 1977
In this paper, I present a simple characterization of the sample selection bias problem that is also applicable to the conceptually distinct econometric problems that arise from truncated samples and from models with limited dependent variables. The problem of sample selection bias is fit within...

Factors Affecting Divorce : A Study of the Terman Sample
Michael, Robert T. - 1976
Within the past few years, renewed interest in understanding marital behavior has resulted in a number of studies which focus on an equation estimating the probability of divorce or remarriage. This paper reports on one such effort. It offers a brief rationale for and an estimation of...

Taking the Cochrane-Piazzesi Term Structure Model Out of Sample : More Data, Additional Currencies, and FX Implications
Hodrick, Robert J. - 2018
We examine the Cochrane and Piazzesi (2005, 2008) model in several out-of-sample analyzes. The model's one-factor forecasting structure characterizes the term structures of additional currencies in samples ending in 2003. In post-2003 data one-factor structures again characterize each currency's...

Information Costs and Sequential Information Sampling
Hébert, Benjamin - 2018
We propose a new approach to modeling the cost of information structures in rational inattention problems, the "neighborhood-based" cost functions. These cost functions have two properties that we view as desirable: they summarize the results of a sequential evidence accumulation problem, and...

Sample Selectivity and the Validity of International Student Achievement Tests in Economic Research
Hanushek, Eric A. - 2010
Critics of international student comparisons argue that results may be influenced by differences in the extent to which countries adequately sample their entire student populations. In this research note, we show that larger exclusion and non-response rates are related to better country average...
