Monte-Carlo simulation studies in survey statistics: An appraisal

Burgard, Jan Pablo; Dörr, Patricia; Münnich, Ralf T. - 2020

two types of inferences have to be considered. First, the classical randomization methods used for developments in … statistical inference is based on the classical randomization approach based on the model assumptions. This confounds classical … randomization with sampling inference. The question arises under which circumstances - if any - the sampling design can then be …

The power of experiments: How big is your n?

Asanov, Igor; Bühren, Christoph; Zacharodimou, Panagiota - 2020

The replicability and credibility crisis in psychology and economics sparked the debate on underpowered experiments, publication biases, and p-hacking. Analyzing the number of independent observations of experiments published in Experimental Economics, Games and Economic Behavior, and the...

Inference in economic experiments

Hirschauer, Norbert; Grüner, Sven; Mußhoff, Oliver; … - In: Economics: The Open-Access, Open-Assessment E-Journal 14 (2020) 2020-7, pp. 1-14

Replication crisis and debates about p-values have raised doubts about what we can statistically infer from research findings, both in experimental and observational studies. With a view to the ongoing debate on inferential errors, this paper systematizes and discusses experimental designs with...

The Effects of Decentralized and Video-Based Extension on the Adoption of Integrated Soil Fertility Management – Experimental Evidence from Ethiopia

Hörner, Denise - 2020

The slow adoption of new agricultural technologies is an important factor in explaining persistent productivity deficits among smallholders in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Farmers delay in particular the uptake of technology packages. Since knowledge constraints are an important barrier to...

Monetary Policy Communications and Their Effects on Household Inflation Expectations

Coibion, Olivier - 2020

We study how different forms of communication influence inflation expectations in a randomized controlled trial using nearly 20,000 U.S. individuals. We elicit individuals' inflation expectations in the Nielsen Homescan panel and then provide eight different forms of information regarding...

Dependence-Robust Inference Using Resampled Statistics

Leung, Michael P. - 2020

We develop inference procedures robust to general forms of weak dependence. The procedures use test statistics constructed by resampling data in a manner that does not depend on the unknown correlation structure of the data. We prove that the statistics are asymptotically normal under the weak...
