Ordinal Distributional Change and Conservative Transition Benchmarks: Measurement, Identification, and Inference
Rami V. Tabri
Repeated cross-sections reveal changes in ordinal distributions but not the transitions producing them. I axiomatically characterize a threshold-weighted probability metric for ord…
A Sieve M-Estimator for Entropic Optimal Transport
Rami V. Tabri
Entropically regularized optimal transport between probability measures supported on compact subsets of Euclidean space admits a representation as an information projection under m…
Testing for Restricted Stochastic Dominance under Survey Nonresponse with Panel Data: Theory and an Evaluation of Poverty in Australia
Rami V. Tabri, Mathew J. Elias
This paper lays the groundwork for a unifying approach to stochastic dominance testing under survey nonresponse that integrates the partial identification approach to incomplete da…
The Impossibility of Testing for Dependence Using Kendall's Under Missing Data of Unknown Form
Oliver R. Cutbill, Rami V. Tabri
This paper discusses the statistical inference problem associated with testing for dependence between two continuous random variables using Kendall's in the context of the miss…
The Information Projection in Moment Inequality Models: Existence, Dual Representation, and Approximation
Rami V. Tabri
This paper presents new existence, dual representation, and approximation results for the information projection in the infinite-dimensional setting for moment inequality models. T…
Inference for Moment Inequalities: A Constrained Moment Selection Procedure
Rami V. Tabri, Christopher D. Walker
Inference in models where the parameter is defined by moment inequalities is of interest in many areas of economics. This paper develops a new method for improving the performance…
