Reliable inference with clustered data has received a great deal of attention in recent years. The overwhelming majority of this research assumes that the cluster structure is known. This assumption is very strong, because there are often several possible ways in which a dataset could be...

Efficient computational algorithms for bootstrapping linear regression models with clustered data are discussed. For OLS regression, a new algorithm is provided for the pairs cluster bootstrap, and two algorithms for the wild cluster bootstrap are compared. One of these is a new way to express...

Methods for cluster-robust inference are routinely used in economics and many other disciplines. However, it is only recently that theoretical foundations for the use of these methods in many empirically relevant situations have been developed. In this paper, we use these theoretical results to...

Cluster-robust inference is widely used in modern empirical work in economics and many other disciplines. The key unit of observation is the cluster. We propose measures of "high-leverage" clusters and "influential" clusters for linear regression models. The measures of leverage and partial...
