We study asymptotic inference based on cluster-robust variance estimators for regression models with clustered errors, focusing on the wild cluster bootstrap and the ordinary wild bootstrap. We state conditions under which both asymptotic and bootstrap tests and confidence intervals will be...

This paper introduces the minCluster portfolio, which is a portfolio optimization method combining the optimization of downside risk measures, hierarchical clustering and cellwise robustness. Using cellwise robust association measures, the minCluster portfolio is able to retrieve the underlying...
