Revisiting the Nexus Between Trade Liberalisation and Income Inequality: The Case of Sub‐Saharan African Countries

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the impact of trade liberalisation on income inequality across 24 Sub‐Saharan African (SSA) countries from 2000 to 2020. Using IV‐Tobit and 2SLS models, we consistently find that greater trade openness significantly exacerbates inequality in the region. Critically, we document an inverted U‐shaped relationship between trade

Motive and Opportunity: Order Choice in a Limit Order Book With Dispersed Information

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We test predictions of market microstructure theory relating to the determinants of order choice in a limit order book where information is dispersed among traders. Using an experimental limit order book, with a large state space, we find that informed traders exhibit patience, compatible with the ‘waiting game’ behaviour described in Foster ...

Impact of Geography on Institutions in Agricultural and Nomadic Societies

International Studies of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How geography affects the choice of institutions is studied in a theoretical model. In this model, nations are located around a circle. Rulers compete through choosing tax rates, the level of military spending, and the degree of formality of institutions. Geographic condition is captured by population density.

Robust Tests of Forecast Accuracy for Factor‐Augmented Regressions With an Application to the Novel EA‐MD‐QD Dataset

Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We present four novel tests of equal predictive accuracy and encompassing á Pitarakis (2023, 2025) for factor‐augmented regressions. Factors are estimated using cross‐section averages (CAs) of grouped series and our theoretical findings are empirically relevant: asymptotic normality, robustness to an overspecification of the number of factors,

Improving the Finite Sample Estimation of Average Treatment Effects Using Double/Debiased Machine Learning With Propensity Score Calibration

Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Double/debiased machine learning (DML) uses for estimating an average treatment effect (ATE) a double‐robust score function that relies on the prediction of nuisance functions, such as the propensity score, which is the probability of treatment assignment given covariates.

A Joint Test of Unconfoundedness and Common Trends

Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We introduce an overidentification test of two alternative assumptions to identify the average treatment effect on the treated in a two‐period panel data setting: unconfoundedness and common trends. Under unconfoundedness, treatment assignment and post‐treatment outcomes are independent, conditional on control variables and pre‐treatment ...

Domain‐adapted driving scene understanding with uncertainty‐aware and diversified generative adversarial networks

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Autonomous vehicles are required to operate in an uncertain environment. Recent advances in computational intelligence techniques make it possible to understand driving scenes in various environments by using a semantic segmentation neural network, which assigns a class label to each pixel.

Hitting Times in the Binomial Random Graph

Journal of Graph Theory, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fix k ≥ 2 $k\ge 2$, choose log n n ( k − 1 ) ∕ k ≤ p ≤ 1 − Ω ( log 4 n n ) $\frac{\mathrm{log}n}{{n}^{(k-1)\unicode{x02215}k}}\le p\le 1-{\rm{\Omega }}(\frac{{\mathrm{log}}^{4}n}{n})$, and consider G ~ G ( n , p ) $G\unicode{x0007E}G(n,p)$. For any pair of vertices v , w ∈ V ( G ) $v,w\in V(G)$, we give a simple and precise formula for the ...

Stable Cuts, NAC‐Colourings and Flexible Realisations of Graphs

Journal of Graph Theory, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A (2‐dimensional) realisation of a graph G $G$ is a pair ( G , p ) $(G,p)$, where p $p$ maps the vertices of G $G$ to R 2 ${{\mathbb{R}}}^{2}$. A realisation is flexible if it can be continuously deformed while keeping the edge lengths fixed, and rigid otherwise.

Linear Versus Centred Colouring via Pseudogrids

Journal of Graph Theory, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A centred colouring of a graph is a vertex colouring in which every connected subgraph contains a vertex whose colour is unique and a linear colouring is a vertex colouring in which every (not‐necessarily induced) path contains a vertex whose colour is unique. For a graph G $G$, the centred chromatic number χ cen ( G ) ${\chi }_{\text{cen}}(G)$
