Robust inference on average economic growth
We discuss a method to estimate the confidence bounds for average economic growth, which is robust to misspecification of the unit root property of a given time series. We derive asymptotic theory for the consequences of such misspecification. Our empirical method amounts to an implementation of the bootstrapping procedure advocated in Romano and Wolf (2001). Simulation evidence supports the th...
متن کاملPoverty , economic growth , and average exit time *
A simple transformation of the Watts poverty index yields a ‘‘meaningful’’ measure with appealing ordinal properties and a natural interpretation in terms of the potential for economic growth to alleviate poverty. The index is illustrated with data from Bangladesh and Bolivia. 1998 Elsevier Science S.A.
متن کاملRobust Inference on Average Treatment Effects with Possibly More Covariates than Observations
This paper concerns robust inference on average treatment effects following model selection. In the selection on observables framework, we show how to construct confidence intervals based on a doubly-robust estimator that are robust to model selection errors and prove that they are valid uniformly over a large class of treatment effect models. The class allows for multivalued treatments with he...
متن کاملRobust sample average approximation
Sample average approximation (SAA) is a widely popular approach to data-driven decisionmaking under uncertainty. Under mild assumptions, SAA is both tractable and enjoys strong asymptotic performance guarantees. Similar guarantees, however, do not typically hold in finite samples. In this paper, we propose a modification of SAA, which we term Robust SAA, which retains SAA’s tractability and asy...
متن کاملRobust Inference
Robust statistics deals with deviations from ideal parametric models and their dangers for the statistical procedures derived under the assumed model. Its primary goal is the development of procedures which are still reliable and reasonably efficient under small deviations from the model, i.e. when the underlying distribution lies in a neighborhood of the assumed model. Robust statistics is the...
