We investigate the relationship between remittances inflow and economic growth in a sample of 65 emerging countries over the period 1988-2018 using the semi-parametric panel data model with fixed effects as proposed by Baltagi and Li (2002). Our empirical results show that the effect of...

It has been shown that, despite being consistent and in some cases efficient, maximum pseudo-likelihood (MPL) estimation for copula models overestimates the level of dependence, especially for small samples with a low level of dependence. This is especially relevant in finance and insurance...

This paper proposes nonparametric estimates for the two information measures extropy and entropy when a progressively Type-I interval censored data is available. Different nonparametric approaches are used for deriving the estimates, including: moments of the empirical cumulative distribution...
