When sampling in a finite population, an important step lies in the choice of inclusion probabilities for the sampling units and of a sampling algorithm respecting these probabilities. This algorithm needs to be efficient, i.e. makes use of available auxiliary information to draw samples leading to...

Le présent travail propose d’étudier l’impact des plans de sondage sur les processus empiriques. En nous plaçant dans le cadre des modèles de surpopulation, nous considérons une variable aléatoire d’intérêt dont les réalisations dans la population sont indépendantes et de même loi de probabilité....

In most fields such as biology, statistical physics and sociology for example, the behaviour of a system as a whole is not considered to be the same as that of an individual nor of some “representative” or average component of the system. Thus the passage from micro behaviour to macro behaviour is...

We report results from a randomized experiment designed and implemented by the Brazilian central government audit agency to test whether increased audit risk deters corruption and waste in local public procurement and improves provision of public services. We measure waste and corruption as...

We explore the role of inflation credibility in self-fulfilling debt crises. In particu-lar, we propose a continuous time model of nominal debt with the potential for self-fulfilling debt crises as in Calvo (1988) and Cole and Kehoe (2000). We characterize crisis equilibria conditional on the level...

We investigate the effects of the introduction of carbon reduction labels on the prices of detergents using a detailed scanner level data set which records consumers’ transaction prices before and after the introduction of the carbon labels. In contrast to other empirical studies looking at the...
