"Approximate Distributions of the Likelihood Ratio Statistic in a Structural Equation with Many Instruments" [PDF]
This paper studies the properties of Likelihood Ratio (LR) tests associated with the limited information maximum likelihood (LIML) estimators in a structural form estimation when the number of instrumental variables is large.

Accounting for animal health in efficiency analysis: An application to Swedish dairy farms
Abstract Poor animal health is a central concern in modern livestock production. Despite the necessity to incorporate animal health in efficiency analysis, the theoretical and empirical developments are limited on this subject. This article appropriately characterizes the axiomatic properties of animal health within a production framework.

Abstract Large‐scale land reforms constitute a substantial redistribution of wealth and reallocation of agricultural land, which is a major form of asset and production input in developing countries. While land redistribution (from the rich to the poor) remains a highly controversial issue, extensive evidence on its effect is limited.

Asymptotic operating characteristics of an optimal change point detection in hidden Markov models
Let \xi_0,\xi_1,...,\xi_{\omega-1} be observations from the hidden Markov model with probability distribution P^{\theta_0}, and let \xi_{\omega},\xi_{\omega+1},...

Abstract The oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.

Application of Bootstrap Methods in Investigation of Size of the Granger Causality Test for Integrated VAR Systems [PDF]
This paper examines the size performance of the Toda-Yamamoto test for Granger causality in the case of trivariate integrated and cointegrated VAR systems. The standard asymptotic distribution theory and the residual-based bootstrap approach are applied.

Mid‐Domain Effect and Wooded Habitat Shape Mediterranean Reptile Communities
Analyzing a large number of reptiles observed across protected areas in Central Italy, we tested whether the mid‐domain effect explains hump‐shaped richness–elevation patterns. Species richness was best predicted by the combined influence of geometric constraints and woodland cover, revealing two contrasting species clusters and offering a robust ...

Inference about predictive ability when there are many predictors [PDF]
We enhance the theory of asymptotic inference about predictive ability by considering the case when a set of variables used to construct predictions is sizable.

ABSTRACT The United States (U.S.) faces challenges in achieving its ambitious net‐zero carbon emissions target by 2050, with current emissions having fallen by less than 1% in 2024. Despite an investment of $500 billion in low‐carbon resources while holding the second‐largest green technology patent portfolio globally, it is further imperative to ...
