Robustness to missing data: breakdown point analysis
缺失数据稳健性：崩溃点分析
Missing data is pervasive in econometric applications, and rarely is it plausible that the data are missing (completely) at random. This paper proposes a methodology for studying the robustness of results drawn from incomplete datasets. Selection is measured as the divergence from the distribution of complete observations to the distribution of incomplete observations. The breakdown point is defined as the minimal amount of selection needed to overturn a given result.…
