An extended single-index model is considered when responses are missing at random. A three-step estimation procedure is developed to define an estimator for the single index parameter vector by a joint estimating equation. The proposed estimator is shown to be asymptotically normal. An iterative...

Consider a setting where a treatment that starts at some point during a spell (e.g. in unemployment) may impact on the hazard rate of the spell duration, and where the impact may be heterogeneous across subjects. We provide Monte Carlo evidence on the feasibility of estimating the distribution...

Energy consumption brought about by economic growth has aggravated carbon emissions and climate change, and technological innovation is an important measure for energy conservation and emission reduction to mitigate climate change. Using the data of Asian and European countries from 1996 to...
