Intuition suggests that altering the covariance structure of a parametric model for repeated-measures data alters the variances of the model's estimated mean parameters. The purpose of this article is ...

Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) estimation of monetary policy rules produces potentially inconsistent estimates of policy parameters. The reason is that central banks react to variables, such as ...

The assumption of iid observations that underlies many statistical procedures is called into question when analyzing complex survey data. The population structure--particularly the existence of ...

In this sense, the proposed method is an extension of the variance of the regression estimator for two-stage sampling. The method is applied to quarterly data from the Labor Force Survey where ...
