  Asymptotic properties of U-processes under long-range dependence 

  Levy-Leduc, C.; Boistard, H.; Moulines, E.; Taqqu, M. S.; Reisen, V. A. (INST MATHEMATICAL STATISTICS, 2011-06-01)

  Let (Xi)i≥1 be a stationary mean-zero Gaussian process with covariances $\rho(k)=\mathbb {E}(X_{1}X_{k+1})$ satisfying ρ(0) = 1 and ρ(k) = k−DL(k), where D is in (0, 1), and L is slowly varying at infinity. Consider the ...

  A wavelet whittle estimator of the memory parameter of a nonstationary Gaussian time series 

  Moulines, E.; Roueff, F.; Taqqu, M. S. (2008-08)

  We consider a time series X=Xk, k∈ℤ with memory parameter d0∈ℝ. This time series is either stationary or can be made stationary after differencing a finite number of times. We study the “local Whittle wavelet estimator” ...

  Biomechanical mechanisms underlying exosuit-induced improvements in walking economy after stroke 

  Bae, J.; Awad, L. N.; Long, A.; O'Donnell, K.; Hendron, K.; Holt, K. G.; Ellis, T. D.; Walsh, C. J.

  Stroke-induced hemiparetic gait is characteristically asymmetric and metabolically expensive. Weakness and impaired control of the paretic ankle contribute to reduced forward propulsion and ground clearance—walking subtasks ...

  A test of adverse selection in the market for experienced workers 

  Lang, K.; Weinstein, R. (National Bureau of Economic Research, 2016)

  We show that in labor market models with adverse selection, otherwise observationally equivalent workers will experience less wage growth following a period in which they change jobs than following a period in which they ...

  Ben-Porath meets Lazear: lifetime skill investment and occupation choice with multiple skills 

  Cavounidis, Costas; Lang, Kevin (2017-04)

  We develop a fairly general and tractable model of investment when workers can invest in multiple skills and different jobs put different weights on those skills. In addition to expected findings such as that younger workers ...
