Realistic poverty assessments necessitate high-quality household survey data. Such data provide the foundation for designing sound policies to sustainably reduce poverty. Despite of this, welfare measures from surveys are often plagued by non-sampling errors in form non-response and measurement error. Current research, while generating important lessons, is limited scope majority studies on determinants quality deal with quantifiable interviewer respondent characteristics. A comprehensive study an ongoing long-term panel Thailand Vietnam presented this paper. Determinants drawn characteristics, interview environment paradata found have a significant effect overall income-related We suggest that managers utilizing computerized questionnaires further develop optimize validation plausibility guidelines order minimize nonsampling errors.

Across many disciplines, the fixed effects estimator of linear panel data models is default method to estimate causal with nonexperimental that are not confounded by time-invariant, unit-specific heterogeneity. One feature estimator, however, often overlooked in practice: With over time t ∈ {1,...,T} for each unit observation i {1,...,N}, amount unobserved heterogeneity researcher can remove weakly decreasing T. Put differently, set attributes time-invariant invariant length panel. We consider several alternatives T > 2 when relevant including existing estimators such as first-difference, twice first-differenced, and interactive estimators. also introduce novel algorithms based on rolling In situations considered here, there little be gained much lose using estimator. recommend reporting results from multiple applied research.

Most farmers in China show an strange attitude towards food sale channels:they prefer low priced channel rather than high channel. This paper examines the mechanism by which price affect farmers’ choices of channels and role played risk aversion, based on 2022 Land Economic Survey. The results indicate that higher prices are more likely to lead choose dealers who private buyers offering flexible terms, compared with depots government procurement centers ensuring stable other channels. It reveals underlying reason for is certainty effect, causes certain profits over uncertain profits, despite prices. further found aversion has a mediating effect relationship between

Purpose The present study examines the impact of precipitation on Tunisian stock market, considering its vulnerability to droughts and potential for rainfall-driven returns. Design/methodology/approach Using daily data from 2020 2023, our research employs ordinary least squares, quantile regression, Shannon transfer entropy neural networks (NNs) analyze relationship between market indices, including sector-specific indices (financial, banks, insurance, financial services industrials). Findings Quantile regression analysis highlights heterogeneous responses across sectors conditions, emphasizing importance bullish bearish periods. Most show a positive with during periods (higher quantiles) negative or insignificant Transfer confirms unidirectional information flow returns, especially within sectors, indicating predictive value. We find that only seasonal component rainfall exhibits more pronounced influence, particularly sub-financial sectors. Research limitations/implications These findings highlight incorporating both variations in analyses risk management strategies context.

Abstract We consider a growing economy which is subject to recurring, random, uninsurable, and potentially large long-lasting climate shocks leading destruction of infrastructure, land degradation, collapse ecosystems or similar loss productive capacity. The associated damages the hazard rate are endogenously driven by stock greenhouse gases. highlight important role relative risk aversion provide analytical solutions for optimal policy, growth saving propensity economy. stress importance jointly determining these variables, especially if objective formulate meaningful policy prescriptions. If, example, assumed be exogenous, thus independent characteristics economic fundamentals, then future developments in face change and, consequently, mitigation efforts will deviate from paths. In quantitative assessment we show that with log-utility under favorable technological climatic conditions abatement expenditure represents only 0.5% output, equivalent $37 per ton carbon. Under less conditions, coupled exceeds unity, increases 2.9%, $212 carbon, it jumps striking 16% pessimistic scenario involving severe low efficiency technology.
