Stronger Utility

Empirical research often requires a method how to convert a deterministic economic theory into an econometric model. A popular method is to add a random error term on the utility scale. This method, however, violates stochastic dominance. A modification of this method is proposed to avoid violations of dominance. The modified model compares favorably to other existing models in terms of goodnes...

Functional connectivity from the amygdala to the hippocampus grows stronger after stress.

The cellular and molecular effects of stress on the amygdala are strikingly different compared with those in the hippocampus. Previous findings on stress-induced plasticity were based primarily on postmortem analysis within individual areas. However, little is known about how stress affects dynamic changes and interactions in neuronal activity between the two areas. Hence, we simultaneously mon...

Stronger Instruments By Design

Natural experiments provide one means for credibly estimating causal effects with observational data. The instrumental variable (IV) method is often applied to natural experiment reflecting a belief that combining the power of natural random assignment with an instrumental variable approach will solve many of the problems endemic to observational data. While IV analysis can be quite powerful, t...
