In this note we show that the standard, loglinear growth regression specification is consistent with one and only one model in the class of stochastic Ramsey models. This model is highly restrictive: it requires a Cobb-Douglas technology and a 100% depreciation rate and it implies that risk does...

There is a growing interest in extending project evaluation methods to the evaluation of programs: complex interventions involving multiple activities. In general a program evaluation cannot be based on separate evaluations of its components since interactions between the activities are likely...

Elbers, Lanjouw, and Lanjouw discuss the use of imputed data in regression analysis, in particular the use of highly disaggregated welfare indicators (from so-called quot;poverty mapsquot;). They show that such indicators can be used both as explanatory variables on the right-hand side and as...

We discuss the use of imputed data in regression analysis, in particular the use of highly disaggregated welfare indicators (from so-called `poverty maps`). We show that such indicators can be used both as explanatory variables on the right-hand side and as the phenomenon to explain on the...
