Background: Although mega-dams play a significant role in development, providing electricity, irrigation, and flood control, perceptions of their contribution remain mixed, particularly regarding the environmental impacts. Methods: This study jointly determines perceived favorable and adverse...

We develop testable implications for the identifying assumptions of Tobit and IV-Tobit models: linear index, (joint) normality of errors, treatment (instrument) exogeneity, and relevance. The new testable equalities can detect all possible observable violations of the identifying conditions. The...

When evaluating partial effects, it is important to distinguish between structural endogeneity and measurement errors. In contrast to linear models, these two sources of endogeneity affect partial effects differently in nonlinear models. We study this issue focusing on the Instrumental Variable...

Censoring from above is a common problem with wage information as the reported wages are typically top-coded for confidentiality reasons. In administrative databases the information is often collected only up to a pre-specified threshold, for example, the contribution limit for the social...

Given data on a scalar random variable 𝑌, a prediction set for 𝑌 with miscoverage level 𝛼 is a set of values for 𝑌 that contains a randomly drawn 𝑌 with probability 1 − 𝛼, where 𝛼 ∈ (0, 1). Among all prediction sets that satisfy this coverage property, the oracle...

This study presents an indicator system to assess the green economy efficiency (GEE) of China's provinces and explores its relationship with population aging. Based on panel data covering 30 provincial-level regions from 2000 to 2020, a slacks-based measure-data envelopment analysis (SBM-DEA)...
