Eliciting probabilistic expectations with visual aids in developing countries...
Eliciting subjective probability distributions in developing countries is often based on visual aids such as beans to represent probabilities and intervals on a sheet of paper... -
On reproducible econometric research (replication data)
Recent software developments are reviewed from the vantage point of reproducible econometric research. We argue that the emergence of new tools, particularly in the open-source... -
Inferring disability status from corrupt data (replication data)
In light of widespread concerns about the reliability of self-reported disability, we investigate what can be learned about the prevalence of work disability under various... -
Simple solutions to the initial conditions problem in dynamic, nonlinear pane...
I study a simple, widely applicable approach to handling the initial conditions problem in dynamic, nonlinear unobserved effects models. Rather than attempting to obtain the... -
Econometric methods for fractional response variables with an application to ...
We develop attractive functional forms and simple quasi-likelihood estimation methods for regression models with a fractional dependent variable. Compared with log-odds type... -
Asymptotic theory and econometric practice (replication data)
The classical paradigm of asymptotic theory employed in econometrics presumes that model dimensionality, p, is fixed as sample size, n, tends to inifinity. Is this a plausible...
