Spurious Regressions and Near-Multicollinearity, with an Application to Aid, Policies and Growth

Chatelain, Jean-Bernard; Ralf, Kirsten - 2012

In multiple regressions, explanatory variables with simple correlation coefficients with the dependent variable below 0.1 in absolute value (such as aid with economic growth) may have very large and statistically significant estimated parameters which are unfortunately "outliers driven" and...

The donor footprint and gender gaps

Perrotta Berlin, Maria; Bonnier, Evelina; Olofsgård, Anders - 2017

In this paper we analyse the impact of foreign aid on gender outcomes and attitudes. We do this by matching geocoded household surveys with aid projects. This offers a middle way between project evaluations and aggregated cross-country comparisons, measuring an average community effect around...

Multilateral development aid : assessing the major replenishments of 2016

Manning, Richard - 2017

This survey of the 2016 replenishments of three multilateral development bank soft funds and of the Global Fund for AIDS, TB and Malaria shows that a significant re-set of the multilateral development finance system is taking place, with grant funding from traditional donors generally in decline...

The Formation of Cross-Sector Development Partnerships : How Bridging Agents Shape Project Agendas and Longer-Term Alliances

Manning, Stephan; Roessler, Daniel - 2017

Cross-sector development partnerships (CSDPs) are project-based collaborative arrangements between business, government, and civil society organizations in support of international development goals such as sustainability, health education, and economic development. Focusing on public private...

Connecting national ownership and local participation in aid recipient countries : the cases of Rwanda and Cambodia

Hasselskog, Malin; Ndizera, Vedaste; Öjendal, Joakim - 2023

This paper examines previously under-explored links between two aid-nurtured ideals. 'National ownership' and 'local participation' both aim to increase recipient influence and thereby address the inherent inequality of the aid relation. Questioning the common assumption of synergy, we analyse...

Har testing for spurious regression in trend

Phillips, Peter C. B.; Wang, XiaoHu; Zhang, Yonghui - In: Econometrics : open access journal 7 (2019) 4/50, pp. 1-28

The usual t test, the t test based on heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation consistent (HAC) covariance matrix estimators, and the heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation robust (HAR) test are three statistics that are widely used in applied econometric work. The use of these significance tests...

Estimation and inference with a (nearly) singular Jacobian

Han, Sukjin; McCloskey, Adam - In: Quantitative economics : QE ; journal of the … 10 (2019) 3, pp. 1019-1068

identification failure when the source of this identification failure is known. We examine models that may have a general deficient … rank Jacobian in certain parts of the parameter space. When identification fails in one of these models, it becomes … underidentified and the identification status of individual parameters is not generally straightforward to characterize. We provide a …

Identification‐ and singularity‐robust inference for moment condition models

Andrews, Donald W. K.; Guggenberger, Patrik - In: Quantitative economics : QE ; journal of the … 10 (2019) 4, pp. 1703-1746

This paper introduces a new identification‐ and singularity‐robust conditional quasi‐likelihood ratio (SR‐CQLR) test … and a new identification‐ and singularity‐robust Anderson and Rubin (1949) (SR‐AR) test for linear and nonlinear moment …‐CQLR test is shown to be asymptotically efficient in a GMM sense under strong and semi‐strong identification (for all k ≥ p …
