In studying the asymptotic and finite sample properties of quasi-maximum likelihood (QML) estimators for the spatial linear regression models, much attention has been paid to the spatial lag dependence (SLD) model; little has been given to its companion, the spatial error dependence (SED) model....

In an attempt to free bootstrap theory from the shackles of asymptotic considerations, this paper studies the … possibility of justifying, or validating, the bootstrap, not by letting the sample size tend to infinity, but by considering the … sequence of bootstrap P values obtained by iterating the bootstrap. The main idea of the paper is that, if this sequence …

The bootstrap is a convenient tool for calculating standard errors of the parameter estimates of complicated … econometric models. Unfortunately, the bootstrap can be very time-consuming. In a recent paper, Honoré and Hu (2017), we propose a … "Poor (Wo)man's Bootstrap" based on one-dimensional estimators. In this paper, we propose a modified, simpler method and …

Propensity score matching estimators have two advantages. One is that they overcome the curse of dimensionality of covariate matching, and the other is that they are nonparametric. However, the propensity score is usually unknown and needs to be estimated. If we estimate it nonparametrically, we...

The focus of the research will be on the modifiable areal unit problem (MAUP) within which two aspects will be considered: the scale problem and the aggregation problem. In the article we consider the use of random fields theory for the needs of the 'Scale Problem' issue. The Scale Problem is...

This paper develops a specification test for instrument validity in the heterogeneous treatment effect model with a binary treatment and a discrete instrument. The strongest testable implication for instrument validity is given by the condition for nonnegativity of point-identifiable complier's...
