Estimating the effect of central bank independence on inflation using longitudinal targeted maximum likelihood estimation

Baumann, Philipp F. M.; Schomaker, Michael; Rossi, Enzo - In: Journal of Causal Inference 9 (2021) 1, pp. 109-146

Abstract The notion that an independent central bank reduces a country’s inflation is a controversial hypothesis. To date, it has not been possible to satisfactorily answer this question because the complex macroeconomic structure that gives rise to the data has not been adequately...

Estimator selection and combination in scalar-on-function regression

Goldsmith, Jeff; Scheipl, Fabian - In: Computational Statistics & Data Analysis 70 (2014) C, pp. 362-372

Scalar-on-function regression problems with continuous outcomes arise naturally in many settings, and a wealth of estimation methods now exist. Despite the clear differences in regression model assumptions, tuning parameter selection, and the incorporation of functional structure, it remains...
