Unconditional Variance Estimation Under Complex Surveys
Summary The unconditional framework treats the samples and the variables of interest as random variables. This is particularly suitable with analytic inference, when modelling survey data. We show that variance estimation does not involve finite population corrections and joint‐inclusion probabilities, even with large sampling fractions and under ...

The Random Power Function for Tests Based on Pivotal Quantities
Summary In clinical trials planning, evaluation of the probability of success of an experiment is of central interest, for instance, in sample size determination. This assessment typically involves analyses of the power function of a test on a parameter of interest, such as a relevant treatment effect.

Do robots boost productivity? A quantitative meta‐study
ABSTRACT This meta‐study analyzes the productivity effects of industrial robots. More than 1800 estimates from 85 primary studies are collected. The meta‐analytic evidence suggests that robotization has so far provided, at best, a small boost to productivity. There is strong evidence of publication bias in the positive direction.

Markov Determinantal Point Process for Dynamic Random Sets
ABSTRACT The Law of Determinantal Point Process (LDPP) is a flexible parametric family of distributions over random sets defined on a finite state space, or equivalently over multivariate binary variables. The aim of this paper is to introduce Markov processes of random sets within the LDPP framework. We show that, when the pairwise distribution of two

Multiple Chains Markov Switching Vector Autoregression
ABSTRACT Both the U.S. stock and bond returns exhibit distinct Markovian regimes. However, because these regimes display limited coherence, conventional models typically require highly parameterized systems to adequately capture their joint distribution.

Why Do Prosocial People Dislike Markets in Some Countries and Like Them in Others?
ABSTRACT Based on the doux commerce thesis, which suggests that people in market‐oriented societies hold stronger prosocial values than those in less market‐oriented ones, one can expect prosocial and pro‐market values to be positively associated. The fact that the association holds for cross‐country observations but does not universally hold for cross‐
