Robust estimation of zero-inflated count models
Staub, Kevin E.; Winkelmann, Rainer - 2009

A note on bootstraps and robustness
Lancaster, Tony - 2003
In this note we consider several versions of the bootstrap and argue that it is helpful in explaining and thinking about such procedures to use an explicit representation of the random resampling process. To illustrate the point we give such explicit representations and use them to produce some...
