Replication to assess statistical adequacy
Owen, Dorian - 2018
argues for more emphasis on replication that specifically assesses whether the results reported in empirical studies are … diagnostic tests for misspecification. A replication plan is briefly outlined to illustrate what this would involve in practice …

Simple t-distribution based tests for meta-analysis
Hartung, Joachim; Makambi, K. H. - 1999
The variance function of the optimal estimator of the overall mean in a heteroscedastic one-way ANOVA model is dominated by positive semi-definite quadratic functions. This makes it possible to develop closely related tests on the nullity of the overall mean parameter in one-way fixed and random...

Which tests not witch hunts : a diagnostic approach for conducting replication research
Brown, Annette N.; Kuflick Wood, Benjamin Douglas - 2018
Replication research can be used to explore original study results that researchers consider questionable, but it … is to design a replication plan open to both supporting the original findings and uncovering potential problems. The … purpose of this paper is to provide replication researchers with an objective list of checks or tests to consider when …

Revisiting gender identity and relative income within households: a cautionary tale on the potential pitfalls of density estimators
Kühnle, Daniel; Oberfichtner, Michael; Ostermann, Kerstin - 2021
We show that Bertrand et al.'s (QJE 2015) finding of a sharp drop in the relative income distribution within married couples at the point where wives start to earn more than their husbands is unstable across different estimation procedures and varies across contexts. We apply the estimators by...

Spotlight on researcher decisions : infrastructure evaluation, instrumental variables, and specification screening
Ankel-Peters, Jörg; Bensch, Gunther; Vance, Colin - 2023
This paper revisits the instrumental variable (IV) approach in Lipscomb et al. (2013, 2021, LMB) to study the impacts of electrification. We first make corrections to the construction of the dataset, including the modelled IV. Revised estimates on main outcomes and mechanisms are statistically...

Estimating a Dynamic Discrete Choice Model with Partial Observability for Household Mortgage Default and Prepayment Behaviors
Ma, Chao - 2016
Households are forward-looking when deciding whether to default on or refinance their mortgages. There are two types of default generated by two mechanisms: illiquidity-triggered default and strategic default. However, researchers can observe only whether households default but not whether the...

External Validity in a Stochastic World
Rosenzweig, Mark R. - 2016
We examine the generalizability of internally valid estimates of causal effects in a fixed population over time when that population is subject to aggregate shocks. This temporal external validity is shown to depend upon the distribution of the aggregate shocks and the interaction between these...
