A quantile-based nonadditive fixed effects model [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
I propose a quantile-based nonadditive fixed effects panel model to study heterogeneous causal effects. Similar to standard fixed effects (FE) model, my model allows arbitrary dependence between regressors and unobserved heterogeneity, but it generalizes the additive separability of standard FE to allow the unobserved heterogeneity to enter ...

Characterization of Dolomite Reservoir Pore‐Throat Structure Based on Cast Thin Section Image Analysis and Fractal Theory: A Case Study of Middle Jurassic Dolomite in the Southern Depression of Qiangtang Basin, Northern Tibetan Plateau, China

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
The pore throat structure of the dolomite reservoir of the Buqu Formation in the Middle Jurassic in the Qiangtang Basin was evaluated by using the cast thin section image method combined with fractal theory. The results were combined with the reservoir space formation process to discuss the possible controlling factors of pore formation.
