AbstractWe consider the biases that can arise in bias elicitation when expert assessors make random errors. After presenting a general framework of the phenomenon, we illustrate it for two examples: the case of omitting variables bias and that of the bias arising in adjusting relative risks. Results show that, even when assessors’ elicitations of bias have desirable properties, the nonlinear nature of biases can lead to elicitations of bias that are, themselves, biased. We show the corrections which can be made to remove this bias and discuss the implications for the applied literature which employs these methods. 相似文献

In this paper, we discuss the use of auxiliary information to estimate the population mean of a sensitive variable when data are perturbed by means of three scrambled response devices, namely the additive, the multiplicative and the mixed model. Emphasis is given to the calibration approach, and the behavior of different estimators is investigated through simulated and real data. It is shown that the use of auxiliary information can considerably improve the efficiency of the estimates without jeopardizing respondent privacy. 相似文献

Randomized response methods for quantitative sensitive data are treated in an unified approach which includes the use of auxiliary
information at the estimation stage. A class of estimators for the mean of a sensitive variable is proposed under a generic
randomization model and the optimum estimator is obtained. Some special models are discussed in detail. To evaluate the degree
of respondents’ confidentiality in models using auxiliary variables, a new measure of privacy protection is introduced. Different
models are then compared both from the perspective of efficiency and privacy protection. 相似文献

Two statistics are proposed for testing for the exponential distribution against monotone failure rate alternatives when ran-domly right censored data are available. One of them is a general-ization of the Billmann, Antle and Bain test based on the MLE of the shape parameter of the Weibull distribution. The second has the advantage of being given in closed form. For this test the asymptotic null distribution is given. Consistency of the two tests is proved starting from an expected value inequality characterizing monotone failure rate. 相似文献

We study social dilemmas in (quasi‐) continuous‐time experiments, comparing games with different durations and termination rules. We discover a stark qualitative contrast in behavior in continuous time as compared to previously studied behavior in discrete‐time games: cooperation is easier to achieve and sustain with deterministic horizons than with stochastic ones, and end‐game effects emerge, but subjects postpone them with experience. Analysis of individual strategies provides a basis for a simple reinforcement learning model that proves to be consistent with this evidence. An additional treatment lends further support to this explanation. 相似文献

This note argues that positive discounting is necessary for intergenerational equity, and that the choice of the discount
rate should be based on the principle that individuals of different generations should be treated in a symmetrical fashion.

In this paper we contribute to the debate on convergence, by presenting an overview of the catch up process of the European
regions between 1995 and 2006, focusing on both absolute and conditional β convergence. Our focus is on the role of infrastructure
stocks in shaping the growth and convergence process between EU regions and to what extent the spatial dimension of the data
affects results. We also explicitly examine the link between infrastructure evolution and regional economic growth with a
spatial panel data approach. Our results confirm an ongoing convergence process at the EU regional level, and assess the important
role of transport and telecommunication infrastructure, with traditional and spatial estimation techniques. We also confirm,
in a panel setting, the strong positive correlation between transport and TLC indicators and GDP growth at the regional level. 相似文献

Linearization methods are customarily adopted in sampling surveys to obtain approximated variance formulae for estimators of statistical functionals under the design-based approach. In the present paper, following the Deville [Variance estimation for complex statistics and estimators: linearization and residual techniques. Surv Methodol. 1999;25:193–203] approach stemming from the concept of design-based influence function, we provide a general result for linearizing a large family of population functionals which includes many of the inequality measures considered in social, economic and statistical studies, such as the Gini, Amato, Zenga, Atkinson and Generalized Entropy indices. The feasibility of our theoretical results is assessed by some simulation studies involving real and artificial data. 相似文献

In the last two decades or so, globalisation has prompted a great deal of attention in the study of the international organisation of production, with in-depth industry studies on its welfare effects, both for firms and for workers. Outcomes did not prove a unique direction of effects, although the heterogeneous firms?? approach emphasised the intra-industry reallocation through intra-sectoral international competition. Thus, differences in the inner structure of companies filled the gap on the micro-level analysis that featured the study of international trade for several decades, although there is still the need to understand the effects of internationalisation on local systems of production and link such results to the consolidated meso-level of analysis of trade flows. Thanks to the microdata provided by the Italian Statistical Office (ISTAT), we are able to access information on the presence of Italian firms abroad, distinguished by geographical area of origin, destination and industry and check for their influence on affiliates?? structure and performance through appropriate indicators. 相似文献
