In this note we derive the rate of divergence of the penalty term for consistent model selection in the linear regression model under a general error structure.

In this note we propose an estimator of the survival function at a given time point using a Bayesian argument, an approach different from that of [Susarla, V., Van Ryzin, J., 1976. Nonparametric Bayesian estimation of survival curves from incomplete observations, Journal of the American...

About 10% of primary school students in developing countries have poor vision, but very few of them wear glasses. Almost no research examines the impact of poor vision on school performance, and simple OLS estimates are likely to be biased because studying harder often adversely affect one’s...

The state is a key driver of corporate social responsibility across developed and developing countries. But the existing research provides comparatively little knowledge about: (1) how companies strategically manage the relationship with the state through corporate social responsibility (CSR);...
