Cleaning Up the Kitchen Sink: Growth Empirics When the World Is Not Simple [PDF]
This paper explores the relevance of unknown nonlinearities for growth empirics. Recent theoretical contributions and case-study evidence suggest that nonlinearities are pervasive in the growth process.

Asymptotic refinements of bootstrap tests in a linear regression model ; A CHM bootstrap using the first four moments of the residuals [PDF]
We consider linear regression models and we suppose that disturbances are either Gaussian or non Gaussian. Then, by using Edgeworth expansions, we compute the exact errors in the rejection probability (ERPs) for all one-restriction tests (asymptotic and ...

Opening the Black Box of Intra-Household Decision-Making: Theory and Non-Parametric Empirical Tests of General Collective Consumption Models [PDF]
We non-parametrically test a general collective consumption model with public consumption and externalities inside the household.We further propose a novel approach to model special cases of the general collective model.These special cases include ...

TO ANALYZE AND PRESENT EXPERIMENTAL DATA IN KEEPING WITH THE MODERN PARADIGM
Фундаментальная и клиническая медицина, 2017 we discuss the recent trends on statistical analysis and presentation of the experimental data. Among these are: 1) choice of non- parametric instead of parametric tests for the statistical analysis; 2) presentation of the data

On the robust detection of edges in time series filtering [PDF]
Abrupt shifts in the level of a time series represent important information and should be preserved in statistical signal extraction. We investigate rules for detecting level shifts that are resistant to outliers and which work with only a short time ...

The Size Distortion of Bootstrap Tests [PDF]
Bootstrap tests are tests for which the significance level is calculated by some sort of bootstrap procedure, which may be parametric or nonparametric. We provide a theoretical framework in which to study the size distortions of bootstrap P values.
