Comparing performance between log-binomial and robust Poisson regression models for estimating risk ratios under model misspecification

open access: yesBMC Medical Research Methodology, 2018
Background Log-binomial and robust (modified) Poisson regression models are popular approaches to estimate risk ratios for binary response variables. Previous studies have shown that comparatively they produce similar point estimates and standard errors.

Kryptonite for Cryptocurrencies? What Are the Effects of Regulatory Controls on Bitcoin Returns and Volatility?

open access: yesInternational Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the impact of regulatory controls on Bitcoin's excess returns and volatility. The paper innovates by proxying changes in the regulatory environment using global Google search volume intensity data. The generated regulatory indices accurately identify episodes of regulatory tightening within cryptocurrency markets.

MULTIPARAMETRIC AND HIERARCHICAL SPATIAL AUTOREGRESSIVE MODELS: THE EVALUATION OF THE MISSPECIFICATION OF SPATIAL EFFECTS USING A MONTE CARLO SIMULATION

open access: yesActa Universitatis Lodziensis. Folia Oeconomica, 2014
The aim of this paper is to evaluate the spatial and hierarchical models for data generating processes with spatial heterogeneity and spatial dependence at the higher level.

Misspecification tests based on quantile residuals [PDF]

open access: yesThe Econometrics Journal, 2012
Summary  We develop quantile residual-based misspecification tests and apply them to non-linear time series models for which conventional residuals are unsuited. We formulate a general framework and use it to obtain computationally simple tests aimed at detecting autocorrelation, conditional heteroscedasticity and non-normality in quantile residuals ...

Forecasting Natural Gas Prices in Real Time

open access: yesJournal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the forecastability of the real price of natural gas in the United States at the monthly frequency considering a universe of models that differ in complexity and economic content. We find that considerable reductions in mean‐squared prediction error relative to a no‐change benchmark can be ...

Monetary policy analysis with potentially misspecified models [PDF]

open access: yes
The paper proposes a novel method for conducting policy analysis with potentially misspecified dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models and applies it to a New Keynesian DSGE model along the lines of Christiano, Eichenbaum, and Evans (JPE ...

Count Data Models With Heterogeneous Peer Effects Under Rational Expectations

open access: yesJournal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper develops a peer effect model for count responses under rational expectations. The model accounts for heterogeneity in peer effects across groups based on observed characteristics. Identification is based on the linear model condition that requires the presence of friends of friends who are not direct friends.

The impact of physical activity on psychological distress in young people: An analysis of longitudinal data from the Millennium Cohort Study using causal machine learning

open access: yesJCPP Advances, EarlyView.
Using causal machine learning, we estimated the causal effect of meeting government guidelines on physical activity on psychological distress in young people. Whilst observing no overall impact, we did identify some groups who benefit relatively more from meeting the physical activity guidelines, including males.

Detecting heritable phenotypes without a model using fast permutation testing for heritability and set-tests

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Standard approaches for heritability and set testing in statistical genetics rely on parametric models that might not hold in reality and give inflated p-values.
