Does Economic Diversification Lead to Financial Development? Evidence From topography

Ramcharan, Rodney - International Monetary Fund (IMF) - 2006

An influential theoretical literature has observed that economic diversification can reduce risk and increase financial development. But causality operates in both directions, as a well functioning financial system can enable a society to invest in more productive but risky projects, thereby...

Do Inspection and Traceability Provide Incentives for Food Safety?

Starbird, S. Andrew; Amanor-Boadu, Vincent - In: Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics 31 (2006) 01

One of the goals of inspection and traceability is to motivate suppliers to deliver safer food. The ability of these policies to motivate suppliers depends on the accuracy of the inspection, the cost of failing inspection, the cost of causing a foodborne illness, and the proportion of these...

Methods for second order meta-analysis and illustrative applications

Schmidt, Frank L.; Oh, In-Sue - In: Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes 121 (2013) 2, pp. 204-218

-analyses examining ostensibly the same relationship in different contexts. First order meta-analysis greatly reduces sampling error … variance but does not eliminate it. The residual sampling error is called second order sampling error. The purpose of a second … order meta-analyses attributable to second order sampling error and to use this information to improve accuracy of …

Using a Farmer's Beta for Improved Estimation of Actual Production History (APH) Yields

Carriquiry, Miguel A.; Babcock, Bruce A.; Hart, Chad E. - 2005

The effect of sampling error in estimation of farmers mean yields for crop insurance purposes is explored using farm …-level corn yield data in Iowa from 1990 to 2000 and Monte Carlo simulations. We find that sampling error combined with … mean yields. Accounting for the adverse selection caused by sampling error results in crop insurance rates that will exceed …

Zero Tolerance Ecology: Improving Ecological Inference By Modelling the Source of Zero Observations

Martin, Tara G.; Wintle, Brendan A.; Rhodes, Jonathan R.; … - 2005

A common feature of ecological datasets is their tendency to contain many zero values. Statistical inference based on such data is likely to be inefficient or wrong unless careful thought is given to how these zeros arose and how best to model them. In this paper, we propose a framework for...
