Optimal transfers with distribution regressions : an application to Egypt at the dawn of the XXIst century
Muller, Christophe - 2016
Social programmes for poverty alleviation involve eligibility rules and transfer rules that often proxy-means tests. We … propose to specify the estimator in connection with the poverty alleviation problem. Three distinct stages emerge from the …-values of living standards plugged into the poverty minimization programme to obtain the transfer amounts. We apply these …

Sensitivity to missing data assumptions : theory and an evaluation of the U.S. wage structure
Kline, Patrick; Santos, Andres - In: Quantitative economics : QE ; journal of the … 4 (2013) 2, pp. 231-267
This paper develops methods for assessing the sensitivity of empirical conclusions regarding conditional distributions to departures from the missing at random (MAR) assumption. We index the degree of nonignorable selection governing the missing data process by the maximal Kolmogorov–Smirnov...

No need to run millions of regressions
Sturm, Jan-Egbert - 2000
We argue that in modelling cross-country growth models one should first identify so-called outlying observations. For the data set of Sala-i-Martin, we use the least median of squares (LMS) estimator to identify outliers. As LMS is not suited for inference, we then use reweighted least squares...

Unreported standard errors in meta-analysis
Longford, Nicholas T. - In: Statistics in transition : an international journal of … 22 (2021) 4, pp. 1-17
A study that would otherwise be eligible is commonly excluded from a meta-analysis when the standard error of its treatment-effect estimator, or the estimate of the variance of the outcomes, is not reported and cannot be recovered from the available information. This is wasteful when the...
