In evaluation research, an average causal effect is usually defined as the expected difference between the outcomes of the treated, and what these outcomes would have been in the absence of treatment. This definition of causal effects makes sense for binary treatments only. In this paper, we...

Modelling complex economic systems is an effective method of research. The widespread class is formed by economic systems in which the determined character of observable processes is combined with their stochastic nature. Laws which are observed in systems of economic exchange, in many respects...

The paper deals with the problem of determinants of the auction prices of the works of art. A specialattention is given to the attributes of works of art i.e.: the name of artist, time of creation, format (size), theme, technique, signature and their influence on the level of auction prices. The...

This paper uses the marginal treatment effect (MTE) to unify the nonparametric literature on treatment effects with the econometric literature on structural estimation using a nonparametric analog of a policy invariant parameter; to generate a variety of treatment effects from a common...

This paper shows a convenient way to test whether instrumental variables are correlated with individual effects in a panel data set. It shows that the correlated fixed effects specification tests developed by Hausman and Taylor (1981) extend in an analogous way to panel data sets with endogenous...

We develop a procedure to rank-order countries and commodities using dis-aggregated American imports data. We find strong evidence that both countries and commodities can be ranked, consistent with the product cycle' hypothesis. Countries habitually begin to export goods to the United States...

Topological data analysis provides a new perspective on many problems in the domain of complex systems. Here, we establish the dependency of the mean value of functional $p$-norms of 'persistence landscapes' on a uniform scaling of the underlying multivariate distribution. Furthermore, we...

We examine the empirical evidence on the expectations hypothesis of the term structure of interest rates in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany using the Campbell-Shiller (1991) regressions and a vector-autoregressive" methodology. We argue that anomalies in the U.S. term...

This paper aims to assess the degree of students’ interest in mathematics and statistics. Five universities, having Engineering and technology education in Sindh Province, have been taken as targeted population. Non-parametric test Statistic X2 at X = 0.05 on collected categorical data has...
