Assessing the robustness of the results of econometric analysis is a long standing subject of lively research. The … that increased attention to influential sets is warranted and comprehensive robustness measures for regression analysis are …

We illustrate the practical value of such a framework by … studying the issue of rerandomization. Rerandomization creates a trade-off between subjective performance and robustness …

is comparable to numeric models used in policy advising. Uncertainty surrounding climate change remains large. The closed …-form expressions of welfare loss from shocks and epistemological uncertainty identify the interaction of (intertemporal) risk attitude …, distributional moments, and the climatic shadow values. Welfare gains from reducing uncertainty about temperature feedbacks are much …

Our results indicate that greater uncertainty has a negative impact on growth of employment and the … generally non-existent or weaker. Our results suggest that to truly understand the effects of uncertainty on firms' decisions …

some recipients are exposed to uncertainty. Although, under certainty almost all uninvolved participants distribute … resources equally, they exhibit remarkable heterogeneity in just allocations under uncertainty. Moreover, uninvolved … participants allocate on average less to recipients exposed to higher degrees of uncertainty and allocations are correlated with …

The argument that policy risk, i.e., uncertainty about monetary and fiscal policy, has been holding back the economic … business cycle fluctuations by using an estimated New Keynesian model featuring policy risk as well as uncertainty about … technology. We directly measure uncertainty from aggregate time series and find considerable evidence of time-varying policy risk …
