In this paper I discuss several of the difficulties involved in estimating the reliability of survey measurement. Reliability is defined on the basis of classical true-score theory , as the correlational consistency of ...
Strategic Interactions of Monetary Policymakers and Wage/Price Bargainers: A Review with Implications for the European Common-Currency Area
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2001-12)
This paper reviews recent work on macroeconomic management with varying organization of wage/price bargaining and degrees of credible monetary conservatism. The emerging literature synthesizes and extends theory and empirics ...
Characterization of optima in smooth Pareto economic systems
(Elsevier, 1975)
Simple techniques of calculus and geometry are used to study and characterize the optima of pure exchange economies in which the utility functions are smooth but not necessarily convex. It is also shown how one can reduce ...
Modeling and analyzing HIV transmission: the effect of contact patterns
(Elsevier, 1988-12)
A compartmental model is presented for the spread of HIV in a homosexual population divided into subgroups by degree of sexual activity. The model includes constant recruitment rates for the susceptibles in the subgroups. ...
How can we save social media data?
(2019-05-06)
The availability and scale of social media data offer researchers new opportunities to leverage those data for their work in broad areas such as public opinion, digital culture, labor trends, public health, and social ...
Counting Groves-Ledyard equilibria via degree theory
(Elsevier, 1983-10)
We study the Groves-Ledyard mechanism for determining optimal amounts of public goods in economies whose agents have the most general class of preferences for which a Pareto amount of public goods can be computed independently ...
A Profile Conditional Likelihood Approach for the Semiparametric Transformation Regression Model with Missing Covariates
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2001-09)
We propose a profile conditional likelihood approach to handle missing covariates in the general semiparametric transformation regression model. The method estimates the marginal survival function by the Kaplan-Meier ...
Saving Social Media Data: Understanding Data Management Practices Among Social Media Researchers and their Implications for Archives
(2020)
Social media data offer researchers new opportunities to leverage those data for their work in broad areas such as public opinion, digital culture, labor trends, and public health. Success of efforts to save social media ...
Wealth dynamics: reducing noise in panel data
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2006-09)
Although the asset data from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) is of very high quality, there is sufficient noise to frustrate attempts to study saving behaviour by examining wave-to-wave change in wealth. In this ...
