Dopo aver ripercorso la storia degli studi sul reddito nazionale, l’articolo si sofferma sui principali aspetti teorici degli aggregati macroeconomici considerati, pervenendo alla conclusione che il più rappresentativo del livello di benessere della popolazione sembra essere il reddito...

This paper investigates the nature of the IV method for tackling endogeneity. By tracing the rise and fall of the method in macroeconometrics and its subsequent revival in microeconometrics, it pins the method down to an implicit model respecification device-breaking the circular causality of...

The main objective of this paper is to expose the evolution of R, as the most used data analysis tool among statisticians and the academic researchers. Its flexibility and complexity simply gained the statisticians and data scientists. The paper examines some of the reasons behind the popularity...

Chan and Maheu (2002) developed a GARCH-jump mixture model, namely, the GARCH-jump with autoregressive conditional jump intensity (GARJI) model, in which two conditional independent processes, i.e., a diffusion and a compounded Poisson process, are used to describe stock price movements caused...

We examine how the criteria for choosing estimation samples affect the ability to detect discretionary accruals, using several variants of the Jones (1991) model. Researchers commonly estimate accruals models in cross-section, and define the estimation sample as all firms in the same industry....

The present paper exposes an overview of the state-of-the-art of R statistical software in the official statistics in Romania, predominantly in the social statistics. Examples on data analysis and econometric models of Small Area Estimation successfully completed are given.The scientific...

The Doing Business (DB) Project of the World Bank has a large impact on media, policy makers and private sector and could have a significant influence on future policies implementation. For these reasons it would be important to better evaluate the rank criteria and avoid the choice of...

The sampling design strategies used for estimation of economic indicators in short-term statistics domain are heterogeneous depending on the characteristic the variable to be estimated and timeliness required for the indices. On the occasion of change of the base year for the turnover indices...

The distribution-free chain ladder reserving method belongs to the most frequently used approaches in general insurance. It is well known, see Mack (1993), that the estimators f̂j of the development factors are unbiased and mutually uncorrelated under some mild conditions on the mean structure...

Improving the energy efficiency of building stock, commercial equipment, and household appliances can have a major positive impact on energy use, carbon emissions, and building services. Sub-national regions such as the U.S. states wish to increase energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, or...
