In the presence of heteroskedasticity, conventional test statistics based on the ordinary least square estimator lead … to incorrect inference results for the linear regression model. Given that heteroskedasticity is common in cross …-sectional data, the test statistics based on various forms of heteroskedasticity consistent covariance matrices (HCCMs) have been …

In this study, the finite sample properties of the robust GMM estimator are compared with the estimators based on the … Bayesian MCMC approach for the spatial autoregressive models with heteroskedasticity of an unknown form.

In this paper we specify a linear Cliff and Ord-type spatial model. The model allows for spatial lags in the dependent variable, the exogenous variables, and disturbances. The innovations in the disturbance process are assumed to be heteroskedastic with an unknown form. We formulate a multi-step...

Microcredit, a financial tool providing uncollateralized loans to low-income individuals, has seen a shift from joint-liability (JL) to individual liabil- ity (IL) lending models. This article tests a theory explaining this shift, focusing on borrowers matching into groups exposed to similar...

In many contexts we may be interested in understanding whether direct connections between agents, such as declared friendships in a classroom or family links in a rural village, affect their outcomes. In this paper we review the literature studying econometric methods for the analysis of social...
