We find that both power and bias are similar when the number of variables used is the same …. Raising the number of variables lowers the bias but may also raise the power unacceptably because it lowers the chances of …

We show that grouping can also create substantial aggregation bias, calling into question how well pseudo-panels can … mimic panel estimates. We create two metrics for assessing the grouping process, one for each potential source of bias. If …

An extensive literature uses anthropometric measures, typically heights, to draw inferences about living standards in the past. This literature's influence reaches beyond economic history; the results of historical heights research appear as crucial components in development economics and...
