This article revisits the issue of crop-yield distributions using improved model specifications, estimation, and testing procedures that address the concerns raised in recent literature, which could have invalidated previous findings of yield nonnormality. It concludes that some aggregate and...

In this paper we examine the properties of conditional distribution functions in the presence of several types of misspecification. We derive the properties of the cumulative conditional distribution function in the case of measurement error in the dependent variable, measurement error in the...
