Robust Dynamic Panel Data Models Using E-Contamination

Baltagi, Badi H. - 2020

This paper extends the work of Baltagi et al. (2018) to the popular dynamic panel data model. We investigate the robustness of Bayesian panel data models to possible misspecication of the prior distribution. The proposed robust Bayesian approach departs from the standard Bayesian framework in...

Using Machine Learning to Predict Nosocomial Infections and Medical Accidents in a Nicu

Beltempo, Marc - 2020

Background: Adult studies have shown that nursing overtime and unit overcrowding is associated with increased adverse patient events but there exists little evidence for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Objectives: To predict the onset on nosocomial infections and medical accidents in a...

Infections, Accidents and Nursing Overtime in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit : A Bayesian Semiparametric Panel Data Logit Model

Beltempo, Marc - 2020

The paper investigates the effects of nursing overtime on nosocomial infections and medical accidents in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The literature lacks clear evidence on this issue and we conjecture that this may be due to empirical and methodological factors. We thus focus on a...

Robust Dynamic Space-Time Panel Data Models Using?-Contamination : an Application to Crop Yields and Climate Change

Baltagi, Badi H.; Bresson, Georges; Chaturvedi, Anoop; … - 2023

This paper extends the Baltagi et al. (2018, 2021) static and dynamic ?-contamination papers to dynamic space-time models. We investigate the robustness of Bayesian panel data models to possible misspecification of the prior distribution. The proposed robust Bayesian approach departs from the...

Robust Linear Static Panel Data Models Using Ε-Contamination

Baltagi, Badi H. - 2014

The paper develops a general Bayesian framework for robust linear static panel data models using ε-contamination. A two-step approach is employed to derive the conditional type-II maximum likelihood (ML-II) posterior distribution of the coefficients and individual effects. The ML-II posterior...

We use several composite technology indices based on appropriate combinations … of the external economic factors which are indicators of different aspects of technology. These technology indices are … specific external economic factors. Furthermore, the technology shifters allow for non-neutral and biased shifts in TC. We also …

We define … technology index based on the external economic factors which are indicators of technology. Thus our definition of production … function is amended to accommodate several technology shifters which are not separable from the traditional inputs. That is …

Estimating the Returns to Firm-Sponsored On-the-Job and Classroom Training

Dostie, Benoit - 2010

In this paper, we estimate returns to classroom and on-the-job firm-sponsored training in terms of value-added per worker using longitudinal linked employee-employer Canadian data from 1999 to 2006. We estimate a standard production function controlling for endogenous training decisions because...
