The extended Gini regression is a semi parametric regression which allows the user to assign different weights to different sections of the explanatory variables. We illustrate, via examples, the ability of extended Gini (EG) regression to detect sections of monotonic increase or decrease, as...

Two regression methods can be interpreted as based on Gini's Mean Difference (GMD). One, the semi-parametric approach, relies on a weighted average of slopes defined between adjacent observations and the other, the minimization approach, is based on minimization of the GMD of the errors. The...

The aim of this paper is to suggest a new, nonparametric multiple regression method, based on the Extended Gini (EG) measures of dispersion, which enables the user to follow the curvature of the regression curve. The method is capable of estimating a series of linear approximations of the...

The semi parametric Gini regression is more robust than ordinary least squares (OLS) regression when the underlying assumptions of the OLS fail and therefore has been used by many researchers. Several measures for goodness of fit of Gini regression were suggested in the literature. However, to...

About thirty years ago Edward Leamer criticized the credibility of empirical research in economics. Since then there were huge improvements in research design, data collection and econometric methodology. On the other hand, the huge increase in computing power has increased the number of...

In this paper we illustrate the potential use of an old/new methodology which combines the use of concentration curves in order to investigate the components that make up a regression coefficient. The illustration is based on examining gender differences in the effect of age on labor market...

The main purpose of this paper is to analyze patterns of non-response in the social survey and to evaluate its effect on potential biases on satisfaction from life. An additional purpose is to apply the method of mixed regression, which combines the method of Ordinary Least Squares with Gini...
