This paper illustrates how to handle a sequence of extreme observations-such as those recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic-when estimating a Vector Autoregression, which is the most popular time-series model in macroeconomics. Our results show that the ad-hoc strategy of dropping these...

We examine the presence of outliers and time-varying jumps in the returns of four major cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin … are contaminated with outliers. Time-varying jumps are present in Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ripple, and the cryptocurrency index …. Notably, the presence of jumps in Bitcoin is significant after correcting for outliers. The main findings point to a price …

In this paper, two modified, design-based calibration ratio-type estimators are presented. The suggested estimators were developed under stratified random sampling using information on an auxiliary variable in the form of robust statistical measures, including Gini's mean difference, Downton's...

Water pH and active ingredient concentration are two of the most important variables to consider in the manufacturing process of fungicides. If these variables do not meet the required standards, the quality of the product may be compromised and lead to poor fungicide performance when water is...

We analyse the effect of COVID-19 on the Okun's law relationship for several EU countries and the US. Results are based on regressions and a systematic DF-Beta analysis. Our results indicate that the year 2020 is an outlier in the Okun relationship. However, the direction of change is different...
