Computing Generalized Method of Moments and Generalized Empirical Likelihood with R
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show how to estimate models by the generalized method of moments and the generalized empirical likelihood using the R package gmm, which is a modied version of Chauss e (2010) published in the Journal of Statistical Software.

Potential energy surface for interactions between two hydrogen molecules.
Konrad Patkowski,Wojciech Cencek,Piotr Jankowski,Krzysztof Szalewicz,James B. Mehl,Giovanni Garberoglio,Allan H. Harvey +6 more
TL;DR: Nonrelativistic clamped-nuclei energies of interaction between two ground-state hydrogen molecules with intramolecular distances fixed at their average value in the lowest rovibrational state have been computed and agreement with experiment is substantially better than in any previous work.

Philip K. Thornton,P.G. Jones,Tom Owiyo,Russell L. Kruska,Mario Herrero,Victor Orindi,Suruchi Bhadwal,Patricia M. Kristjanson,An Maria Omer Notenbaert,Nigat Bekele,Abisalom Omolo +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the generation of information that combines projected climate change in agricultural systems with vulnerability data, in terms of vulnerable people particularly at risk for deleterious effects of climate change, are being used for impact assessment, targeting and priority setting, to help identify locations for specific research and adaptation activities.

Benchmark Thermochemistry of the CnH2n+2 Alkane Isomers (n = 2-8) and Performance of DFT and Composite Ab Initio Methods for Dispersion-Driven Isomeric Equilibria
TL;DR: The thermochemistry of linear and branched alkanes with up to eight carbons has been reexamined by means of W4, W3.2lite and W1h theories and the B2GP-PLYP and B2K- PLYP double hybrids and the PW6B95 hybrid meta-GGA clearly outperform other DFT functionals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Psychometric analysis of the Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale (GAD-7) in primary care using modern item response theory.
TL;DR: The commonly suggested ultra-brief measure consisting of the first two items, the GAD-2, was supported by item information analysis and discriminated better than the last three items with respect to latent anxiety.

Impact Evaluation of a Conditional Cash Transfer Program: The Nicaraguan Red de Proteccion Social
John A. Maluccio,Rafael Flores +1 more
TL;DR: The impact evaluation of a conditional cash transfer program was performed by the Nicaraguan Red de Proteccion Social (RPS) as discussed by the authors, which evaluated the effectiveness of the program.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Case for Randomized Field Trials in Economic and Policy Research
TL;DR: The advantages and disadvantages of experiments in comparison with other research techniques are examined and the circumstances where randomized trials should be preferred over other methods are described.

An evaluation of the impact of progresa on pre-school child height
Jere R. Behrman,John Hoddinott +1 more
TL;DR: One of the major components of the PROGRESA program has been directed toward improving the nutritional status of small children in poor rural communities in Mexico as mentioned in this paper, which has been shown to have a substantial effect on lifetime productivities and earnings of currently small children.

Progressing through progresa: an impact assessment of a school subsidy experiment
TL;DR: The authors used a Markov schooling transition model applied to the experimental data to assess the impact of the educational subsidy program along several dimensions, including effects on initial ages of school entry, dropout rates, grade repetition rates, and school reentry rates.

A New Approach to Social Assistance: Latin America’s Experience with Conditional Cash Transfer Programs
TL;DR: Conditional cash transfer as discussed by the authors is a departure from more traditional approaches to social assistance, that represents an innovative, and increasingly popular channel for the delivery of social services that represents a demand-side complement to the supply of health, and education services.
