A theory for ranking distribution functions

Aaberge, Rolf; Havnes, Tarjei; Mogstad, Magne - 2013

rather than another. In this paper, we develop a theory for ranking distribution functions. Our theory offers a general … ranking can be attained without introducing weaker criteria than second-degree stochastic dominance. The conventional approach … that give an unambiguous ranking of any set of distribution functions. We also provide an axiomatization of the sequences …

A simple GMM estimator for the semi-parametric mixed proportional hazard model

Bijwaard, Govert; Ridder, Geert - 2009

Ridder and Woutersen (2003) have shown that under a weak condition on the baseline hazard there exist root-N consistent estimators of the parameters in a semiparametric Mixed Proportional Hazard model with a parametric baseline hazard and unspecified distribution of the unobserved heterogeneity....

First-place loving and last-place loathing : how rank in the distribution of performance affects effort provision

Gill, David; Kissová, Zdenka; Lee, Jaesun; Prowse, … - 2015

Rank-order relative-performance evaluation, in which pay, promotion and symbolic awards depend on the rank of workers in the distribution of performance, is ubiquitous. Whenever firms use rank-order relative-performance evaluation, workers receive feedback about their rank. Using a real-effort...
