Assessing the robustness of the results of econometric analysis is a long standing subject of lively research. The majority of the literature focuses on sensitivity to model specification, while the quantification of sensitivity to sets of influential observations has received relatively...

Shifts in responses typically are obscured from users, so that regression proceeds as if unshifted. At issue is the infusion of such shifts into classical analysis. On projecting outliers into the “Regressor” and “Error” spaces of a model, findings here are that shifts in responses may...

In this study, we adapt sufficient bootstrap into the jackknife-after-bootstrap (JaB) algorithm. The performances of the sufficient and conventional JaB methods have been compared for detecting influential observations in linear regression. Comparison is based on two real-world examples and an...

Meta-analyses are becoming a popular tool for supporting benefit transfers, but the availability of studies is a direct consequence of policy issues, research funding, and investigator interest. We investigate fragility versus robustness of the meta-equation by considering sample selection,...

Using a firm level dataset from four regions of Russia covering 1996/97, an investigation was carried out into how the surplus created within the firm is divided between profits and wages. An efficient bargaining framework based on the work of Svejnar (1986) is employed which takes into account...
