The wild bootstrap is studied in the context of regression models with heteroskedastic disturbances. We show that, in one very specific case, perfect bootstrap inference is possible, and a substantial reduction in the error in the rejection probability of a bootstrap test is available much more...

This paper tests whether individual perceptions of markets as good or bad for a public good is correlated with the propensity to report gaps in willingness to pay and willingness to accept revealed within an incentive compatible mechanism. Identifying people based on a notion of market affinity,...

We investigate a general problem of comparing pairs of distributions which includes approaches to inequality measurement, the evaluation of “unfair” income inequality, evaluation of inequality relative to norm incomes, and goodness of fit. We show how to represent the generic problem simply...

[fre] Dans la pratique, la plupart des statistiques de test ont une distribution de probabilité de forme inconnue. Généralement, on utilise leur loi asymptotique comme approximation de la vraie loi. Mais, si l'échantillon dont on dispose n'est pas de taille suffisante, cette approximation...

After a decade of research on the relationship between institutions and growth, there is no consensus about the exact way in which these two variables interact. In this paper we re-examine the role that institutions play in the growth process using data for developed and developing economies...

In this paper, I investigate the finite sample performance of a test robust to heteroskedasticity of unknown form, based on the consistent covariance matrix estimator proposed in Eicker (1963) and White (1980). The simulation results suggest that, as often used in practice, this test could be...
