This paper presents a distribution-free test, based on the permutation approach, on treatment effects with a multivariate categorical response variable. The motivating example is a typical case-control biomedical study, performed to investigate the effect of the treatment called "assisted motor...

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...

Regressors often have heterogeneous effects in the social sciences, implying unit-specific slopes. OLS is frequently applied to these correlated coefficient models. I first show that without restrictions on the relation between slopes and regressors, OLS estimates can take any value including...

This paper proposes a subsampling inference method for extreme conditional quantiles based on a self-normalized version of a local estimator for conditional quantiles, such as the local linear quantile regression estimator. The proposed method circumvents difficulty of estimating nuisance...

This paper studies the finance-growth nexus in historical perspective. We employ a panel data model with interactive fixed effects and time-varying coefficients for a sample of advanced economies since the late 19th century. The model considers flexible specifications of heterogeneity and...
