As shown in Table 6, robust regression estimation (specification VII) results suggest its presence, while WLS (specification XVII) rejects it.
We interpret parameter λ as the structural state dependence following Heckman (1981).2 age and ysm (years-since-migration) are two key variables for our assimilation model, and their second-order terms (age 2 and ysm 2) are used in the estimation specification but are not presented here to simplify the presentation.
The empirical model of ionospheric irregularities based on ROTI data is actually for space weather studies and transionospheric radio propagation applications, i.e., estimation, specification, and prediction of the probability and area of ionospheric irregularity development and their dependence on solar and geomagnetic activity.
The existence of stochastic convergence and β-convergence is verified by employing different estimation methods and using various estimation specifications.
We assess the sensitivity of the results across a wide set of alternative datasets, estimation specifications, variable specifications, and estimation methods.

State-of-the-art estimation methods, specification tests, and sensitivity analyses are poor substitutes for better data.
By contrast, the effect is positive in the UK as it was in the unweighted sample and non-robust in France, since it is insignificant in the IV estimation of specifications (4) and (5), unlike the unweighted case.
Topics discussed in the paper include: Project Objectives, Project Stages, Scope Definition, Design Basis, Codes and Standards, Technology Selection, Capital Cost Estimation, Schedule Development and Control, Operating Cost Estimation, Value Improvement Practices, Equipment Specification, Contractor Bid Specification, Constructability Review, Construction Management, and Commissioning.
Results of estimations of specifications (1) and (2) are shown in Table 7. Table 7 Non-cognitive skills in the Mincerian equation by level of education (non self-reports) (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) (10 1112) (12) Separated Joint Low educ.
