Determinants of the Shadow Economy in the Czech Regions: A Region-Level Study

Review of Economic Perspectives, 2017
This paper investigates the size and development of the shadow economy in the Czech Republic on the state-level base over the 2005-2014 period. The multiple indicators multiple causes (MIMIC) model is used to assess the estimation of the shadow economy ...

Explaining Implausible Results in Shadow Economy Estimation Using MIMIC Models [PDF]

Statistika: Statistics and Economy Journal
For decades, economists have been trying to estimate the magnitude of the shadow economy (SE), which is not directly observable. This paper explores how the MIMIC (Multiple Indicator Multiple Cause) model can yield estimates of the SE/GDP (the proportion

3D Bioprinting of Model Tissues That Mimic the Tumor Microenvironment

Micromachines, 2021
The tumor microenvironment (TME) influences cancer progression. Therefore, engineered TME models are being developed for fundamental research and anti-cancer drug screening.

Once a Batesian mimic, not always a Batesian mimic: mimic reverts back to ancestral phenotype when the model is absent [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2008
Batesian mimics gain protection from predation through the evolution of physical similarities to a model species that possesses anti-predator defences. This protection should not be effective in the absence of the model since the predator does not identify the mimic as potentially dangerous and both the model and the mimic are highly conspicuous. Thus,

MIMIC Models for Uniform and Nonuniform DIF as Moderated Mediation Models [PDF]

Applied Psychological Measurement, 2019
In this article, the authors describe how multiple indicators multiple cause (MIMIC) models for studying uniform and nonuniform differential item functioning (DIF) can be conceptualized as mediation and moderated mediation models. Conceptualizing DIF within the context of a moderated mediation model helps to understand DIF as the effect of some ...

How close can an Inhomogeneous Universe mimic the Concordance Model?

, 2010
Recently, spatially inhomogeneous cosmological models have been proposed as an alternative to the LCDM model, with the aim of reproducing the late time dynamics of the Universe without introducing a cosmological constant or dark energy.

Efficiency and Economic Performance: An Application of the MIMIC Model

Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 2000
Using measures of allocative, technical, and overall efficiency as indicators of a latent "performance" variable, and a set of farm operating ratios as indicators of the amount of effort to improve the quality of feeding, breeding, and labor productivity,

Confinement of Brownian Polymers under Geometric Area Tilts [PDF]

, 2018
We consider tightness for families of non-colliding Brownian bridges above a hard wall, which are subject to geometrically growing self-potentials of tilted area type. The model is introduced in order to mimic level lines of $2+1$ discrete Solid-On-Solid
