As George Box [1976] put it, "all models are wrong but some are useful." This is especially true for derivative models, As sown during the 2008 financial crisis, most collaterized debt obligation (CDO) models failed to reflect the true risk of those structures. Therefore, one always faces the...

We study the portfolio problem of maximizing the outperformance probability over a random benchmark through dynamic trading with a fixed initial capital. Under a general incomplete market framework, this stochastic control problem can be formulated as a composite pure hypothesis testing problem....

Many committees--juries, political task forces, etc.--spend time gathering costly information before reaching a decision. We report results from lab experiments focused on such information-collection processes. We consider decisions governed by individuals and groups and compare how voting rules...

This paper develops a specification test for the instrument validity conditions in the heterogeneous treatment effect …. Our specification test infers this testable implication using a Kolmogorov-Smirnov type test statistic. We provide a … bootstrap algorithm to implement the proposed test and show its asymptotic validity. The proposed test procedure can apply to …

Identification in most sample selection models depends on the independence of the regressors and the error terms conditional on the selection probability. All quantile and mean functions are parallel in these models; this implies that quantile estimators cannot reveal any - per assumption...

If the number of assessors in a difference test is not large enough to ensure the desired power of the testing … their approach such that we get confidence limits. While the exposition concentrates on the triangle test, the approach is … also applicable for other difference testing procedures (e.g. pairwise difference test, duo-trio test). …
