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 …

One innovation defined in the new market risk rules by the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB) is the Non-Modellable Risk Factor (NMRF) framework. This new concept introduces a methodology to differentiate between modellable and non-modellable risk factors in the Internal Models...

This paper focuses the development of the diagnostics for the perturbations of case-weights and explanatory variables (one or more) in a linear logistic regression model. The effect of specific perturbation scheme on the estimation of parameters is also assessed. In addition, the interpretation...

This paper shows through regression simulations that, when there are two highly collinear regressors, at least one of which has a simultaneous relationship with the dependent variable, t-ratios typically do not decline to non-significance as text book theory predicts. Coefficients and/or...

The Kumaraswamy distribution is very similar to the Beta distribution, but has the important advantage of an invertible closed-form cumulative distribution function. The parameterization of the distribution in terms of shape parameters and the lack of simple expressions for its mean and variance...

In the literature on tests of normality, much concern has been expressed over the problems associated with residual-based procedures. Indeed, the specialized tables of critical points which are needed to perform the tests have been derived for the location-scale model; hence, reliance on...

Textbook theory predicts that t-ratios decline towards zero in regressions when there is collinearity between two regressors. This paper shows that this often does not occur if the regression suffers from simultaneity or omitted variable bias. With more collinearity, t-ratios generally increase...

This paper aims to establish asymptotic normality of the local linear kernel estimator for quantile regression under near epoch dependence, a useful concept in characterising time series dependence of extensive interests in Econometrics. In particular, near epoch dependence can cover a wide...

The authors model COVID infections and COVID deaths, both reported and implied, for the 50 U.S. states as well as the District of Columbia, and separately for a sample of 33 countries, as a function of pre-existing circumstances that citizens have no ability to control over the short term. These...

We provide a simple distribution regression estimator for treatment effects in the difference-in-differences (DiD) design. Our procedure is particularly useful when the treatment effect differs across the distribution of the outcome variable. Our proposed estimator easily incorporates covariates...
