Asymptotic and bootstrap tests are studied for testing whether there is a relation of stochastic dominance between two distributions. These tests have a null hypothesis of nondominance, with the advantage that, if this null is rejected, then all that is left is dominance. This also leads us to...

The most widely used measure of segregation is the so‐called dissimilarity index. It is now well understood that this measure also reflects randomness in the allocation of individuals to units (i.e. it measures deviations from evenness, not deviations from randomness). This leads to...

The understanding of causal chains and mechanisms is an essential part of any scientific activity that aims at better explanation of its subject matter, and better understanding of it. While any account of causality requires that a cause should precede its effect, accounts of causality inphysics...

Nous cherchons à mesurer l'impact de l'article 55 de loi SRU sur la production effective de logements sociaux, en utilisant plusieurs méthodes contrefactuelles (Double Différence, Double Changement) et en les confrontant à une nouvelle méthode qui utilise uniquement l'information passée...
