• El redisseny de la política social en una etapa de crisi econòmica

  López i Casasnovas, Guillem (Societat Catalana d'Economia, 2015)

  Demographic trends, with the relevant ageing of the population, are affecting the orientation of social policy (in terms of health, social services, pensions, future proposals to cover dependence, etc.). This is unfortunate ...

• Smoking and cancers: case-robust analysis of a classic data set

  Bentler, Peter M.; Satorra, Albert; Yuan, Ke-Hai (Taylor & Francis, 2009)

  A typical structural equation model is intended to reproduce the means, variances, and correlations or covariances among a set of variables based on parameter estimates of a highly restricted model. It is not widely ...
• On insensitivity of the chi-square model test to nonlinear misspecification in structural equation models

  Mooijaart, Ab; Satorra, Albert (Springer, 2009)

  In this paper, we show that for some structural equation models (SEM), the classical chi-square goodness-of-fit test is unable to detect the presence of nonlinear terms in the model. As an example, we consider a regression ...
• Testing model nesting and equivalence

  Bentler, Peter M.; Satorra, Albert (American Psychological Association (APA), 2010)

  When using existing technology, it can be hard or impossible to determine whether two structural equation models that are being considered may be nested. There is also no routine technology for evaluating whether two very ...
• Ensuring positiveness of the scaled difference chi-square test statistic

  Satorra, Albert; Bentler, Peter M. (Springer, 2010)

  A scaled difference test statistic T~d that can be computed from standard software of structural equation models (SEM) by hand calculations was proposed in Satorra and Bentler (Psychometrika 66:507–514, 2001). The statistic ...
• A multigroup structural equation approach: a demonstration by testing variation of firm profitability across EU samples

  Bou, Juan Carlos; Satorra, Albert (SAGE Publications, 2010)

  We extend standard methodology for multigroup mean and covariance structure (MACS) analysis to the case where assessment of across-group variation of model parameters is the focus of the study and the data deviate from ...
• Principles and practice of scaled difference chi-square testing

  Bryant, Fred B.; Satorra, Albert (Taylor & Francis, 2012)

  We highlight critical conceptual and statistical issues and how to resolve them in conducting Satorra–Bentler (SB) scaled difference chi-square tests. Concerning the original (Satorra & Bentler, 2001) and new (Satorra & ...
• Moment testing for interaction terms in structural equation modeling

  Mooijaart, Ab; Satorra, Albert (Springer, 2013)

  Starting with Kenny and Judd (Psychol. Bull. 96:201–210, 1984) several methods have been introduced for analyzing models with interaction terms. In all these methods more information from the data than just means and ...
• Revisiting the competency trap

  Denrell, Jerker; Le Mens, Gaël (Oxford University Press, 2020)

  We revisit the competency trap and reexamine when it occurs. We show that a bias against alternatives that improve with practice does not require that learning is myopic in the sense of lacking foresight or failing to ...
• A comment on a paper by H. Wu and M. W. Browne

  Satorra, Albert (Springer, 2015)

  I congratulate Hao Wu and Michael W. Browne (henceforth, WB) on their thought-provoking approach to specification error in moment structure analysis. To my reading, the novel and challenging issue of their paper is to ...
• A propòsit de la redistribució de la renda

  López i Casasnovas, Guillem (Generalitat de Catalunya. Departament de la Vicepresidència i d’Economia i Hisenda, 2016)

  La preocupació recent per la redistribució de la renda al nostre país sobrepassa l’àmbit acadèmic, amb notables aportacions de Thomas Piketty’s Capital in the Twenty-First Century, François Bourguignon The Globalization ...
• Población mayor en situación de dependencia de la Argentina: propuesta de clasificación según severidad basada en datos secundarios

  Monteverde, Malena; Pujol-Jover, María; Alemany, Ramón; López i Casasnovas, Guillem (Universidad de Costa Rica. Centro Centroamericano de Población, 2017)

  La magnitud de la población de 65 años y más en situación de dependencia de la Argentina sería de más de un millón de personas. Dada la gran heterogeneidad en el tipo y en la intensidad ...
• L'impacte de la crisi a la salut

  López i Casasnovas, Guillem (Fundació Josep Irla, 2017)

  El binomi economia/salut no parteix d’una relació senzilla. És fàcil quantifi car les despeses d’un servei, però —malgrat existir indicadors que ens hi aproximen— molt més complicat mesurar la salut de les persones amb ...
• Is regional redistribution harmful for growth? An empirical analysis on the Spanish Autonomous Communities. 2001–2016

  López i Casasnovas, Guillem; Rosselló Villalonga, Joan (Wiley, 2019)

  In this paper we estimate the relationship between the growth rate of Spanish regions' GDP and the level of regional redistribution. We will do so considering the period 2002–2016 using a panel of 17 Spanish regions. Our ...
