On econometric inference and multiple use of the same data [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 In fields that are mainly nonexperimental, such as economics and finance, it is inescapable to compute test statistics and confidence regions that are not probabilistically independent from previously examined data. The Bayesian and Neyman-Pearson inference theories are known to be inadequate for such a practice.

Minimum Sliced Distance Estimation in a Class of Nonregular Econometric Models [PDF]
arXivThis paper proposes minimum sliced distance estimation in structural econometric models with possibly parameter-dependent supports. In contrast to likelihood-based estimation, we show that under mild regularity conditions, the minimum sliced distance estimator is asymptotically normally distributed leading to simple inference regardless of the presence/

Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The cocoa‐chocolate value chain faces significant environmental and social challenges, driving firms to adopt sustainability strategies ranging from individual practices to third‐party certifications. This study investigates the factors associated with these strategies by analyzing 304 cocoa‐chocolate companies using firm‐level data from the ...

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.Abstract This article examines the contested impact of financial sanctions on Australian employment services, with government evaluation relying on job‐search theory to justify sanctions while research from sociological and psychological perspectives suggests they exacerbate labour market disadvantages and poverty. The division in perspectives reflects

Implementing Convex Optimization in R: Two Econometric Examples [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Economists specify high-dimensional models to address heterogeneity in empirical studies with complex big data. Estimation of these models calls for optimization techniques to handle a large number of parameters. Convex problems can be effectively executed in modern statistical programming languages.

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.Abstract The Next Generation EU (NGEU) economic recovery package has set the conditions for unprecedented investment in policy areas considered of strategic importance by each Member State. This article focusses on the Italian case, characterised by long‐lasting weaknesses in active labour market policies and public employment services (PES) to analyse

Reflections on Bayesian inference and Markov chain Monte Carlo
Canadian Journal of Statistics, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 1213-1227, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Bayesian inference and Markov chain Monte Carlo methods are vigorous areas of statistical research. Here we reflect on some recent developments and future directions in these fields. Résumé L'inférence bayésienne et les méthodes de Monte‐Carlo par chaîne de Markov sont des domaines dynamiques de la recherche statistique.
