The costs of simplicity : why multilevel models may benefit from accounting for cross-cluster differences in the effects of controls

Heisig, Jan Paul; Schaeffer, Merlin; Giesecke, Johannes - 2017

Context effects, where a characteristic of an upper-level unit or cluster (e.g., a country) affects outcomes and relationships at a lower level (e.g., that of the individual), are a primary object of sociological inquiry. In recent years, sociologists have increasingly analyzed such effects...

Inference in linear regression models with many covariates and heteroskedasticity

Cattaneo, Matias D.; Jansson, Michael; Newey, Whitney K. - 2017

The linear regression model is widely used in empirical work in Economics, Statistics, and many other disciplines. Researchers often include many covariates in their linear model specification in an attempt to control for confounders. We give inference methods that allow for many covariates and...

Survey-based cross-country comparisons where countries vary in sample design: Issues and solutions

Kaminska, Olena; Lynn, Peter - 2016

In multi-national surveys different countries usually implement different sample designs. When making estimates of differences between countries, analysts often fail to take sample design appropriately into account. This failure is sometimes because variables indicating stratification,...
