Lack of global convergence and the formation of multiple welfare clubs across countries: An unsupervised machine learning approach

Mendez, Carlos - In: Economies 7 (2019) 3, pp. 1-17

The cross-country convergence hypothesis is one of the central topics of long-run macroeconomics. This paper revisits this hypothesis in a context beyond GDP. It uses a novel welfare index that incorporates measures of consumption, leisure, life expectancy, and inequality. Based on a sample of...

PARAMETRIC DISTRIBUTION FAMILIES USEFUL FOR MODELLING NON-LIFE INSURANCE PAYMENTS DATA. TAIL BEHAVIOUR

Teodorescu, Sandra - In: Global Economic Observer 1 (2013) 2, pp. 104-111

The present paper describes a series of parametric distributions used for modeling non-life insurance payments data. Of those listed, special attention is paid to the transformed Beta distribution family. This distribution as well as those which are obtained from it (special cases of...

Monotonicity of chi-square test statistics

Ryu, Keunkwan - 2003

This paper establishes monotonicity of the chi-square test statistic. As the more efficient parameter estimator is plugged into the test statistic, the degrees of freedom of the resulting chi-square test statistic monotonically increase.
