Econometric Views (EViews)

142
Econometric Views, often stylized as EViews, is a package that merges statistical analysis with econometric studies. It is designed to provide tools for time series analysis, forecasting, and econometric model simulation. The software originated from MicroTSP software and has evolved significantly since its inception in 1981. The history of EViews is marked by a continuous effort to enhance its computational speed and user interface. It was initially developed for large computing systems but...

Actuarial Approach01:20

Actuarial Approach

77
The actuarial approach, a statistical method originally developed for life insurance risk assessment, is widely used to calculate survival rates in clinical and population studies. This method accounts for participants lost to follow-up or those who die from causes unrelated to the study, ensuring a more accurate representation of survival probabilities.
Consider the example of a high-risk surgical procedure with significant early-stage mortality. A two-year clinical study is conducted,...

Production Efficiency01:01

Production Efficiency

16.8K
Net production efficiency (NPE) is the efficiency at which organisms assimilate energy into biomass for the next trophic level. Due to low metabolic rates and less energy spent on thermoregulatory processes, the NPE of ectotherms (cold-blooded animals) is 10 times higher than endotherms (warm-blooded animals).

As a system undergoes a change, its internal energy can change, and energy can be transferred from the system to the surroundings, or from the surroundings to the system.

Quantitative Analysis01:12

Quantitative Analysis

291
Quantitative analysis is a technique for measuring the amount of specific constituents in a sample. When the sample's composition is unknown, qualitative analysis is performed first to identify its components, which ensures that the correct substances are measured during the quantitative phase.
In quantitative analysis, two key measurements are made: the sample quantity and a property proportional to the amount of the analyte (the substance being analyzed). This forms the basis of the...

Quantifying and Rejecting Outliers: The Grubbs Test01:02

Quantifying and Rejecting Outliers: The Grubbs Test

1.6K
Sometimes, a data set can have a recorded numerical observation that greatly  deviates from the rest of the data. Assuming that the data is normally distributed, a statistical method called the Grubbs test can be used to determine whether the observation is truly an outlier.  To perform a two-tailed Grubbs test, first, calculate the absolute difference between the outlier and the mean. Then, calculate the ratio between this difference and the standard deviation of the sample. This...

Area of Science:

  • Economics
  • Public Policy
  • Entrepreneurship

Background:

  • The Italian government introduced the Start Up Act in October 2012.
  • This policy offers incentives like tax breaks, loan guarantees, and flexible labor laws.
  • It targets firms registered as "innovative startups" to foster innovation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of the Italian Start Up Act.
  • To assess the policy's effect on startups' access to equity and debt capital.
  • To determine the policy's influence on employment within innovative startups.

  • Employed conditional difference-in-difference (DiD) models.
  • Analyzed data on equity, debt, and employment for Italian startups.
  • Utilized econometric techniques to establish causality.

Main Results:

  • Italian innovative startups under the Act secured more equity and debt financing.
  • Participating startups demonstrated a significant increase in hiring employees.
  • The policy effectively met its objectives of facilitating capital and labor access.

Conclusions:

  • The Italian Start Up Act is successful in stimulating innovative entrepreneurship.
  • The policy enhances financial accessibility and job creation for young enterprises.
