Estimating log models: to transform or not to transform?
Health economists often use log models to deal with skewed outcomes, such as health utilization or health expenditures. The literature provides a number of alternative estimation approaches for log models, including ordinary least-squares on ln(y) and generalized linear models. This study examines how well the alternative estimators behave econometrically in terms of bias and precision when the...
متن کاملTo log or not to log: The distribution of asset returns
In the context of the measurement of market risk, the random variable is taken as the rate of return of a financial asset. One may define the return in different ways, the two most common are arithmetic and geometric returns. The distinction between these two types of returns is not well understood. They are frequently assumed to be approximately equal. Moreover they both are assumed to be norm...

متن کاملChiral Gravity, Log Gravity, and Extremal CFT
We show that the linearization of all exact solutions of classical chiral gravity around the AdS3 vacuum have positive energy. Non-chiral and negative-energy solutions of the linearized equations are infrared divergent at second order, and so are removed from the spectrum. In other words, chirality is confined and the equations of motion have linearization instabilities. We prove that the only ...
متن کاملDiscrete-Log-Based Signatures May Not Be Equivalent to Discrete Log
We provide evidence that the unforgeability of several discrete-log based signatures like Schnorr signatures cannot be equivalent to the discrete log problem in the standard model. This contradicts in nature well-known proofs standing in weakened proof methodologies, in particular proofs employing various formulations of the Forking Lemma in the random oracle Model. Our impossibility proofs app...
