Robust standard errors in transformed likelihood estimation of dynamic panel data models
Hayakawa, Kazuhiko; Pesaran, M. Hashem - 2012
This paper extends the transformed maximum likelihood approach for estimation of dynamic panel data models by Hsiao, Pesaran, and Tahmiscioglu (2002) to the case where the errors are crosssectionally heteroskedastic. This extension is not trivial due to the incidental parameters problem that...

Equality, equity and incentives: An experiment
Balafoutas, Loukas; Kocher, Martin G.; Putterman, Louis; … - 2010
We devise a new experimental game by nesting a voluntary contributions mechanism in a broader spectrum of incentive schemes. With it, we study tensions between egalitarianism, equity concerns, self-interest, and the need for incentives. In a 2x2 design, subjects eithervote on or exogenously...

The Meaning of Failed Replications: A Review and Proposal
Clemens, Michael A. - 2015
The welcome rise of replication tests in economics has not been accompanied by a single, clear definition of replication. A discrepant replication, in current usage of the term, can signal anything from an unremarkable disagreement over methods to scientific incompetence or misconduct. This...

The Analysis of Human Feelings: A Practical Suggestion for a Robustness Test
Bloem, Jeffrey R.; Oswald, Andrew J. - 2021
Governments, multinational companies, and researchers today collect unprecedented amounts of data on human feelings. These data provide information on citizens' happiness, levels of customer satisfaction, employees' satisfaction, mental stress, societal trust, and other important variables. Yet...

A Protocol for Structured Robustness Reproductions and Replicability Assessments
Ankel-Peters, Jörg; Brodeur, Abel; Dreber Almenberg, Anna - 2025
Robustness reproductions and replicability discussions are on the rise in response to concerns about a potential … focus on robustness. Starting with a computational reproduction upon data availability, the protocol encourages replicators … to prespecify robustness tests, prior to implementing them. The protocol contains three different reporting tools to …

From estimation resultsto stylized facts: Twelve recommendations for empirical research in international activities of heterogeneous firms
Wagner, Joachim - 2010
Heterogeneous firms are at the heart of both the New New International Trade Theory and the Micro-econometrics of International Firm Activities. One important aim of microeconometric studies is to uncover stylized facts that hold over space and time, and that can both inspire theoretical models...

A new approach to testing marginal productivity theory
Biewen, Martin; Weiser, Constantin - 2011
We address the long standing question of whether production factors are paid their marginal products. We propose a new approach that circumvents the need to specify production functions and to compare marginal products to factor payments. Our approach is based on a simple equation that directly...
