Dear Yuval, sorry for the mishap. Unfortunately, like Steve reported some days ago, I do not have access to your article, since I am not a resident academic. Anyway, congratulations on your paper. Kindest Regards, Carlo -----Messaggio originale----- Da: owner-statalist@hsphsun2.harvard.edu [mailto:owner-statalist@hsphsun2.harvard.edu] Per conto di Yuval Arbel Inviato: sabato 3 dicembre 2011 18.58 A: statalist@hsphsun2.harvard.edu Oggetto: Re: st: Re: Thanks Carlo. Note, however, this is the working paper. The official paper in its final form may be found at: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0166046210000438 You don't need to purchase it: My guess is that every university with a reasonable economics/business departments has a subscription to the electronic version of sciencedirect. What is nice about the tables in the paper is that they state the formulas for the simple t-test which compares between groups. Needless to say you can run these tests and confidence intervals in stata by -ttest- and -ci- commands If you come to think about it, this methodology is a good way to simulate scientific comparisons between groups On Sat, Dec 3, 2011 at 2:45 PM, Carlo Lazzaro <carlo.lazzaro@tin.it> wrote: > For those who may concern, I have freely downloaded Yuval's article at: > http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1804689. > > Kindest Regards, > Carlo > -----Messaggio originale----- > Da: owner-statalist@hsphsun2.harvard.edu > [mailto:owner-statalist@hsphsun2.harvard.edu] Per conto di Yuval Arbel > Inviato: giovedì 1 dicembre 2011 7.05 > A: statalist@hsphsun2.harvard.edu > Oggetto: Re: st: Re: > > Steve and David, > > I still suggest you take a look at the full version of my RSUE paper: > you can access it through science direct (www.sciencedirect.com).
