calculating population attributable fraction for cardiovascular risk factors using different methods in a population based cohort study
background: population attributable fraction (paf) is one of the most practical measures for estimating the burden of risk factors with some challenges in its calculation. cardiovascular disease (cvd) is the first cause of death worldwide and the estimation of accurate pafs for cvd risk factors is of great importance in conducting preventive strategies. our aim was to estimate the pafs of cvd r...

This paper estimates the role of both tax and non-tax determinants in the choice in Sweden to be a closely-held corporation vs. a proprietorship, using individual data for 2004 to 2008 on owners of closely-held businesses. While lower-income individuals face relatively neutral incentives, higher income individuals face strong tax incentives to be corporate. The data suggest a relatively strong ...

Using the Mirrlees optimal income tax model, with no income e¤ects on labour supply, this article shows that the discrete population approach provides new insights into the characterization of the optimal tax system, which complements the previous ndings. The analysis is based on the "Spence-Mirrlees wedge" which corresponds, at each observed gross income level, to a ratio between the marginal...
متن کاملPopulation-based cohort studies on premorbid cognitive function in schizophrenia.
Many previous studies have found associations between poor cognitive function and schizophrenia. However, the majority of these studies used retrospective data, leading to the possibility of selection and recall biases. Retrospective studies are also unable to distinguish whether cognitive deficits exist prior to the onset of schizophrenia, suggesting that they are important in etiology, or fol...

In a Regression Kink (RK) design with a finite sample, a confounding smooth nonlinear relationship between an assignment variable and an outcome variable around a threshold can be spuriously picked up as a kink and result in a biased estimate. In order to investigate how well RK designs handle such confounding nonlinearity, I firstly implement Monte Carlo simulations and then study the effect o...
