‎In this article‎, ‎we develop two nonparametric smoothing estimators for parameter of a time-variant parametric model‎. ‎This parameter can be from any parametric family or from any parametric or semi-parametric regression model‎. ‎Estimation is based on a two-step procedure‎, ‎in which we first get the raw estimate of the parameter at a set of disjoint time...

Human capital production in the U.S. economy is no longer what it used to be. Graduation rates for high school and college have fallen (Card and Lemieux 2001; Heckman and Lafontaine 2007). As a result, the rate of growth of the stock of human capital has slowed considerably (Goldin and Katz 2008). At the same time, other countries are improving their educational attainment. Although the United ...

The previous literature has demonstrated that countries’ regulative contexts positively influence voluntary corporate carbon disclosures. However, little research been conducted into the relationship between different components of dimension institutions and disclosure. Drawing on theoretical framework New Institutional Sociology (NIS), this study examines context (rules; monitoring mechanisms ...

The Heckman selection model is perhaps the most popular econometric in analysis of data with sample selection. analyses this are based on normality assumption for error terms, however, some applications, distribution term departs significantly from normality, instance, presence heavy tails and/or atypical observation. In paper, we explore selection-t where random errors follow a bivariate Stude...

Kamenev and Mezard, and Yurkevich and Lerner, have recently shown how to reproduce the large-frequency asymptotics of the energy level correlations for disordered electron systems, by doing perturbation theory around the saddles of the compact nonlinear σ model derived from fermionic replicas. We present a critical review of their procedure and argue that its validity is limited to the perturba...
