Use of minimum risk approach in the estimation of regression models with missing observations

This article considers a linear regression model with some missing observations on the response variable and presents two estimators of regression coefficients employing the approach of minimum risk estimation. Small disturbance asymptotic properties of these estimators along with the traditional unbiased estimator are analyzed and conditions, that are easy to check in practice, for the superiority of one estimator over the other are derived.

The non-linear impact of oil price on the oil demand

ABSTRACT

A panel smooth transition regression model was adopted to analyse the non-linear impact of oil prices on oil demand. Data for 42 countries was obtained from the International Energy Agency for the time period spanning from January 1990 to June 2017. The results indicate that a threshold value does exist. Furthermore, when the oil price was lower than this threshold value, a positive relationship between oil price and oil demand was observed. When the price of oil was higher than the threshold value, however, a negative relationship between price and demand was found.     

企业职工薪酬激励程度核算研究

职工薪酬激励程度和职工的努力程度均难以直接观察,这直接导致企业激励政策的盲目性.本文通过分析,提出企业薪酬激励程度核算方法,利用相关数据建构企业薪酬激励程度与企业增加值之间的回归模型,并结合有关激励模型确定企业职工最优薪酬激励程度,为企业制定薪酬激励政策提供参考依据.

Are voters rational?

We test whether a voter's decision to cast a vote depends on its probability of affecting the election outcome. Using exogenous variation arising at population cutoffs determining council sizes in Finnish municipal elections, we show that larger council size increases both pivotal probabilities and turnout. These effects are statistically significant, fairly large and robust. Finally, we use a novel instrumental variables design to show that the jumps in the pivotal probabilities are the likely candidate for explaining the increase in turnout, rather than the other observed simultaneous jumps at the council size cutoffs. Moreover, our results indicate that turnout responds only to within-party pivotal probabilities, perhaps because they are more salient to the voters than the between-party ones.     

回归分析法在经济预测中的应用浅析

回归分析法是在经济预测中常用的方法之一，它是在观察和分析经济发展的历史和现状的基础上，按照一定的方式建立反映其关系的数学模型，然后根据自变量在未来的变化来计算预测变量的变化，从而对未来的经济发展趋势进行预测。其关键是建立回归模型，并进行相关分析和结果预测。     

中国传统村落空间分布特征与影响因素分析

村落是乡村振兴战略实施的载体,认知传统村落空间分布及其影响因素对传统村落的传承和发展有重要价值。以中国传统村落为对象,采用核密度方法识别核心和次核心;构建"格网分析—空间自相关—地理加权回归"的影响因素研究方法,并进行实践分析。发现:①在地理格局上,传统村落主要分布在"胡焕庸线"以东、第二和第三级阶梯、年均降水量400 mm以上的区域、亚热带季风气候区和温带季风气候区;从行政区划来看,部分省份、地级市的交界地带为传统村落的密度核心。②GWR结果显示,对于地形因素,第二阶梯海拔越低、第三阶梯海拔越高传统村落越集中;对于生态因素,在农产品主产区或生态环境保护区,既出现生态环境越好传统村落越密集特征,也出现生态环境越好传统村落越分散特征;对于人口因素,"胡焕庸线"以西的大部分地区人口越密集传统村落越集中,而该线以东区域则相反;对于经济因素,中西部大部分经济发展水平较低的区域传统村落趋于聚集,东部地区经济水平总体较高传统村落趋于分散;交通和城市因素在不同区域对传统村落空间分布亦存在两面性特征。总体看,各地理要素的回归系数存在正负值、正负值比重差异以及高低值空间差异,反映各要素对传统村落空间分布...
