Estimation and Inference for Threshold Effects in Panel Data Stochastic Frontier Models
One of the most enduring problems in cross-section or panel data models is heterogeneity among individual observations. Different approaches have been proposed to deal with this issue, but threshold regression models offer intuitively appealing ...

GMM Estimation of Autoregressive Roots Near Unity with Panel Data [PDF]
This paper investigates a generalized method of moments (GMM) approach to the estimation of autoregressive roots near unity with panel data. The two moment conditions studied are obtained by constructing bias corrections to the score functions under OLS ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Second‐order habitat selection is influenced by a variety of factors, including individual‐ and species‐specific traits and resource requirements, as well as landscape characteristics. By comparing home range characteristics across individuals, species, and landscapes, we can draw conclusions regarding whether and how different factors influence home ...

Ontogeny of foraging behaviour in an opportunistic gull inhabiting urban marine ecosystems
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Urbanization affects ecosystems by reducing biodiversity and displacing species from native habitats. While some suffer, others, like urban wildlife, adapt through innovative feeding and behaviours that improve their fitness in human‐altered settings. Despite research on wildlife in urban areas, the development of foraging behaviour in urban species is

New to town: home range size, habitat selection and behavioral adaptations by urban hares
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.European hares Lepus europaeus have recently been shown to colonize urban areas in different parts of Europe. This appears to be a novel phenomenon, and little is known about the space use and behavioral adaptations of hares living in urban areas. Here, we describe the first findings concerning home range sizes from GPS‐collared hares (n = 3) in Aarhus

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.The consumption of human food subsidies influences ecological processes, and can affect individual behavior and fitness with population level changes in abundance and distribution. American black bears Ursus americanus often consume human food subsidies, which have been correlated with increased bear body size, age‐specific fertility and mortality ...

On the uniqueness of probability matching priors
, 2007 Probability matching priors are priors for which Bayesian and frequentist inference, in the form of posterior quantiles, or confidence intervals, agree to some order of approximation.
