Using official census data for congressional districts, we show that … population-based weights outperform area-based ones in terms of similarity to official data …

Since the 2000s, economists across fields have increasingly used consumer credit reporting data for research. We … introduce readers to the economics of and the institutional details of these data. Using examples from the literature, we … provide practical guidance on how to use these data to construct economic measures of borrowing, consumption, credit access …

Using Monte Carlo simulations, this paper evaluates the bias properties of common estimators used in growth regressions derived from the Solow model. We explicitly allow for measurement error in the right-hand side variables, as well as country-specific effects that are correlated with the...

We examine the higher order properties of the wild bootstrap (Wu, 1986) in a linear regression model with stochastic regressors. We find that the ability of the wild bootstrap to provide a higher order refinement is contingent upon whether the errors are mean independent of the regressors or...

This paper gives an alternative derivation of a Monte Carlo method that has been used to study robust estimators. Extensions of the technique to the regression case are also considered and some computational points are briefly mentioned
