Proxy Means Tests for Targeting Subsidies Scheme in Iran
In this paper I develop a Proxy Means Tests (PMT) model and examine several targeting lines based on 2008 household survey data to identify beneficiaries for a targeting subsidy scheme in Iran. Based on the findings of this study, setting a cut-off percentile of 40% is expected to provide compensation for almost 70 percent of the poorest households. This will result in the highest accuracy main...
متن کاملHow to Represent Measurement Errors ?
What is the set of possible values of a measurement error? In the majority of practical applications, an error is caused not by a single cause; it is caused by a large number of independent causes, each of which adds a small component to the total error. As a result, we get a geometric description of the area of possible values of error. In this paper, we formulate the known result (for 1-dimen...
متن کاملTesting capability indices for one-sided processes with measurement errors
In the manufacturing industry, many product characteristics are of one-sided tolerances. The process capability indices C p (u, v) and C l p(u, v) can be used to measure process performance. Most research work related to capability indices assumes no gauge measurement errors. This assumption insufficiently reflects real situations even when advanced measuring instruments are used. In this paper...
متن کاملTesting Overall and Subpopulation Treatment Effects with Measurement Errors.
There is a growing interest in the discovery of important predictors from many potential biomarkers for therapeutic use. In particular, a biomarker has predictive value for treatment if the treatment is only effective for patients whose biomarker values exceed a certain threshold. However, biomarker expressions are often subject to measurement errors, which may blur the biomarker's predictive c...
