This paper considers the problem of deriving heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation robust (HAR) inference about a scalar parameter of interest. The main assumption is that there is a known upper bound on the degree of persistence in data. I derive finite-sample optimal tests in the Gaussian...

This paper revisits the instrumental variable (IV) approach in Lipscomb et al. (2013, 2021, LMB) to study the impacts of electrification. We first make corrections to the construction of the dataset, including the modelled IV. Revised estimates on main outcomes and mechanisms are statistically...
