Deep L' and M-band Imaging for Planets Around Vega and epsilon Eridani (2008)

Heinze, A. N., Hinz, Philip M., Kenworthy, Matthew, Miller, Douglas, Sivanandam, Suresh

We have obtained deep Adaptive Optics (AO) images of Vega and epsilon Eri to search for planetary-mass companions. We observed at the MMT in the L' (3.8 micron) and M (4.8 micron) bands using Clio, a...

Ong, Paul M., Spencer, James, Zonta, Michela, Nelson, Todd, Miller, Douglas, Heintz-Mackoff, Julia

Changes in the economic conditions are responsible for broad gains and losses across a region, but the ways that these changes play out at a neighborhood level throughout the region are not uniform....

California Transportation Needs Assessment: The Transportation Barriers and Needs of Welfare Recipients and Low-Wage Workers (2003)

Public Policy and Extended Families: Evidence from Pensions in South Africa (2003)

Bertrand, Marianne, Mullainathan, Sendhil, Miller, Douglas

How are resources allocated within extended families in developing economies? This question is investigated using a unique social experiment: the South African pension program. Under that program the...

Economic Needs of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in Distressed Areas: Establishing Baseline Information (2002)

Ong, Paul M., Miller, Douglas

This report provides baseline statistics needed for policy-oriented research on disadvantaged Asian-Pacific Americans (APAs) neighborhoods. We profile 17 poor APA neighborhoods across the United...

Formation of extrachromosomal circular DNA in HeLa cells by nonhomologous recombination (1994)

Van Loon, Nanette, Miller, Douglas, Murnane, John P.

Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) generated from chromosomal DNA is found in all mammalian cells and increases with cell stress or aging. Studies of eccDNA structure and mode of formation...

Relative Income, Race, and Mortality

Douglas Miller, Christina Paxson

The topic of this paper is the relationship between relative income and health. We examine whether people whose incomes are high relative to others who live in the same geographic area have lower or...

An Information Theoretic Approach to Flexible Stochastic Frontier Models

Douglas Miller

Parametric stochastic frontier models have a long history in applied production eco- nomics, but the class of tractible parametric models is relatively small. Consequently, researchers have recently...

Behavioral Foundations for Conditional Markov Models of Aggregate Data

Douglas Miller

Conditional Markov chain models of observed aggregate sharetype data have been used by economic researchers for several years, but the classes of models commonly used in practice are often criticized...

Public Policy and Extended Families: Evidence from South Africa

Marianne Bertrand, Douglas Miller, Sendhil Mullainathan

Tightly knit extended families, in which people often give money to and get money from relatives, characterize many developing countries. These intra-family flows mean that public policies may affect...

IMPACT OF FARMLAND PRESERVATION PROGRAMS ON THE RATE OF URBAN DEVELOPMENT

Miller, Douglas, Nickerson, Cynthia

This paper examines whether purchase of development right (PDR) programs slow the rate of farmland conversion or shift land and amenity losses to adjacent areas. We use county-level data from several...

ENTROPY-BASED ESTIMATION AND INFERENCE IN BINARY RESPONSE MODELS UNDER ENDOGENEITY

Miller, Douglas, Mittelhammer, Ron, Judge, George

This paper considers estimation and inference for the binary response model in the case where endogenous variables are included as arguments of the unknown link function. Semiparametric estimators...

AN ALTERNATIVE APPROACH TO DETERMINING THE ELASTICITY OF EXCESS DEMAND FACING THE UNITED STATES

Miller, Douglas, Paarlberg, Philip

The United States embarked on a policy assuming excess demands for commodities are elastic. Some analysts question the success of that policy and argue that excess demands for farm commodities are...

Bootstrap-Based Improvements for Inference with Clustered Errors

Cameron, A. Colin, Miller, Douglas, Gelbach, Jonah B.

Microeconometrics researchers have increasingly realized the essential need to account for any within-group dependence in estimating standard errors of regression parameter estimates. The typical...

Unilateral vs. Bilateral Incentives: Evidence from the U.S. Pork Industry

Jang, Jongick, Miller, Douglas, Sykuta, Michael, Won, Seoung Joun
