Multivariate generalized linear mixed models with semi-nonparametric and smooth nonparametric random effects densities
We extend the family of multivariate generalized linear mixed models to include random effects that are generated by smooth densities. We consider two such families of densities, the so-called semi-nonparametric (SNP) and smooth nonparametric (SMNP) densities. Maximum likelihood estimation, under either the SNP or the SMNP densities, is carried out using a Monte Carlo EM algorithm. This algorit...
متن کاملThe Distribution of Firm Size
In this paper, we studies the distribution of firm size by using a model based on Sato’s paper in 1970, and proved the static distribution of firm size satisfies Pareto distribution in its upper tail.
متن کاملMeasuring Firm Size in Empirical Corporate Finance
In empirical corporate finance, firm size is commonly used as an important, fundamental firm characteristic. However, no paper comprehensively assesses the sensitivity of empirical results in corporate finance to different measures of firm size. This paper fills this hole by providing empirical evidence for “measurement effect” in “size effect”. In particular, this paper studies the influences ...
متن کاملMeasuring Firm Performance using Nonparametric Quantile-type Distances
When faced with multiple inputs X ∈ R+ and outputs Y ∈ R q +, traditional quantile regression of Y conditional on X = x for measuring economic efficiency in the output (input) direction is thwarted by the absence of a natural ordering of Euclidean space for dimensions q (p) greater than one. Daouia and Simar (2007) used nonstandard conditional quantiles to address this problem, conditioning on ...
متن کاملFirm size distribution in small samples
Sutton (1998) has recently proposed a theoretical lower bound to firm size inequality when a market is made of several independent submarkets. His results are valid asymptotically, as the number of submarkets becomes arbitrarily large. We show that, in small samples, his results can be interpreted as a positive relationship between an index of firm size inequality and the number of submarkets. ...
