Linear and Nonlinear Causality between Energy Consumption and Economic Growth: the Case of Mexico 1965-2014
(MDPI, 2018-03-29)
This paper analyzes the causal link between aggregated and disaggregated levels of energy consumption and economic growth in Mexico between 1965 and 2014, with the presence of structural breaks stemming from the series. ...
Cuban inmigrants in the United States: what determines their earnings distribution?
(Universidad de Medellín, 2016-12)
In this paper the conditional earnings distribution of Cuban immigrants in the U.S. using OLS and Quantile Regression is analyzed. The data used in the study come from the 2011 American Com munity Survey (ACS) in the U.S. ...

In this paper we address several issues related to collective dichotomous decision-making by means of quaternary voting rules, i.e., when voters may choose between four actions: voting yes, voting no, abstaining and not ...
Improving the Representativeness of a Simple Random Sample: An Optimization Model and Its Application to the Continuous Sample of Working Lives
(MDPI, 2020-07-25)
This paper proposes an optimization model for selecting a larger subsample that improves the representativeness of a simple random sample previously obtained from a population larger than the population of interest. The ...
Kalman Filtering in R
(Journal of Statistical Software, 2011-03)
Support in R for state space estimation via Kalman filtering was limited to one package, until fairly recently. In the last five years, the situation has changed with no less than four additional packages offering general ...

[EN] Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) is an increasingly used valuation method to guide policy-makers in their landscape management decision-making. However, due to time and budget constraints, conducting an original DCE ...
A More Flexible Model or Simply More Effort? On the Use of Correlated Random Parameters in Applied Choice Studies
(Elsevier, 2018-08-28)
The random parameter logit model has become the dominating model for analyzing stated choice data in environmental valuation. The unrestricted version of the model with correlated random parameters, however, is rarely ...
Interpreting correlated random parameters in choice experiments
(Elsevier, 2020-07-28)
The random parameter logit (RPL) model with uncorrelated coefficients is a restrictive version of the mixed logit model, but it is one of the most frequently used models for analysing stated choice data in environmental ...
