Nonparametric Survival Estimation With Contaminated and Adjudicated Events
ABSTRACT We study the conditional expert Kaplan–Meier estimator, an extension of the classical Kaplan–Meier estimator designed for time‐to‐event data subject to both right‐censoring and contamination. Such contamination, where observed events may not reflect true outcomes, is common in applied settings, including insurance and credit risk, where expert

Is the World Getting Smaller? Network‐Driven Heterogeneity in Gravity‐Model Elasticities
ABSTRACT Gravity models constitute the workhorse of empirical international trade research, yet the temporal stability of their core parameters—distance and GDP elasticities—remains underexplored, particularly in relation to the evolving structure of trade networks.

How many people are employed in South Africa?
ABSTRACT The main labour market survey in South Africa is the Quarterly Labour Force Survey (QLFS) but the General Household Survey (GHS) also measures employment. We show that despite often identical sample designs and questions about employment, the GHS produces higher estimates of total employment from around 2012 than the QLFS, which finds more ...

Frequency‐dependent contraction rates for the Bayesian method to the inverse source problem
Abstract This paper addresses an inverse source problem for acoustic waves in a range of frequencies. Our study has two main goals. First, although the problem is severely ill‐posed with a logarithmic stability estimate, we demonstrate, through careful analysis of the forward map's singular values, that increasing the frequency range enhances stability,
