The Empirical Economic Growth Literature : Robustness, Significance and Size
Florax, Raymond J.G.M; de Groot, Henri L. F.; Heijungs, … - 2002
The empirical economic growth literature is criticized for its lack of robustness. For different definitions of … robustness, conclusions vary from "almost every correlation is fragile" to "a substantial number of explanatory variables are … robustness using quasi-experiments. The analysis pertains to sign, size and significance of the effects, and we relax the quasi …

A Robust Sensitivity Analysis of Cross-Country Finance-Growth Regressions
Bhatti, Arshad - 2014
This paper addresses the issue of outliers in finance-growth literature and provides a robust sensitivity analysis of some past studies and an updated data set. We employ the robust regression methods of median quantile regression and least trimmed squares. It shows that the findings of past...

No need to run millions of regressions
Sturm, Jan-Egbert - 2000
We argue that in modelling cross-country growth models one should first identify so-called outlying observations. For the data set of Sala-i-Martin, we use the least median of squares (LMS) estimator to identify outliers. As LMS is not suited for inference, we then use reweighted least squares...

Uncertain identification
Giacomini, Raffaella; Kitagawa, Toru; Volpicella, Alessio - In: Quantitative economics : QE ; journal of the … 13 (2022) 1, pp. 95-123
Uncertainty about the choice of identifying assumptions is common in causal studies, but is often ignored in empirical practice. This paper considers uncertainty over models that impose different identifying assumptions, which can lead to a mix of point‐ and set‐identified models. We propose...

A convex hull approach to counterfactual analysis of trade openness and growth
Funke, Michael; Gronwald, Marc - 2009
In this paper, we apply a convex hull approach to counterfactual analysis of trade openness and growth. The experiments we choose evaluate the importance of trade openness for growth across African countries. Specifically, we ask the question what would happen if African countries were more...
