For parsimony, we dropped the state insurance market competition variable in the specification presented in Tables 5 and 6.
These scenarios relate to phenomena in the literature, as discussed in Sects. 1 and 2. They have been generated based on the specification presented in Sect.
By no means do we claim that the representation specification presented here is complete, but would like to rather refer the reader elsewhere for a more detailed and rigorous explanation and implementation examples [23].
Under the preferred specification presented in column (2), which includes a full set of controls as well as municipality fixed effects, it is estimated that Seguro Popular reduced on average the monthly amount of private transfers received by 50.86 pesos.
OJ specifications designed to capture prior beliefs and non-linear responses to news detected some transient effects in many subjects, but for the most part the final regression is indistinguishable from the basic specification presented in this chapter.
Eight parameter MD specifications that allow separate learning for each level of each symptom also converged roughly to the basic specification presented above, but we detect a general bias towards overresponding to the more informative symptom levels and underresponding to the less informative symptom levels.
The initial model specification, presented in table 3, includes a total of 61 degrees of freedom (47 main, 14 interaction), compared to a possible maximum of 110.
In the specification presented in column 5, the regression is stratified by community and a fixed effect is added for each sample cluster.
Even though these specifications are abstract and platform-independent the new approach of developing implementations from such initial specifications presents obvious advantages over the approaches based on classical sequential specifications.
