Environmental degradation and inclusive human development in sub-Saharan Africa (2018, positive): “A double-censored Tobit model is employed to control for the limited range in the dependent indicator (Kumbhakar & Lovell, 2000; Koetter et al., 2008; McDonald, 2009; Coccorese & Pellecchia, 2010; Ariss, 2010).”

Fiscal decentralization and public sector efficiency: evidence from OECD countries (2013, methodology): “, McDonald (2009)) suggest that least-squares based methods are also sufficient for an analysis of DEA scores into their determinants.”
Bank supervision, regulation, and efficiency: evidence from the European Union (2012, background): “A recent development by McDonald (2009) asserts that efficiency is not the outcome of a truncated process but rather the outcome of a fractional logit process.”
An automatic-democratic approach to weight setting for the new human development index (2012, neutral): “Nguefack-Tsague et al. (2011) also felt that using equal weights was arbitrary; they applied principal component analysis based on the correlations between the three components.”
Fractional regression models for second stage DEA efficiency analyses (2010, methodology): “In contrast to Hoff (2007) and McDonald (2009), who considered only the logit fractional regression model, we analyze several alternative functional forms that may be more useful for dealing with the typical asymmetric nature of DEA scores.”
On the comparative performance of socially responsible and Islamic mutual funds (2014, background): “As summarized in Simar and Wilson (2011), this literature kept on expanding to include Banker and Natarajan (2008), Hoff (2007), McDonald (2009), or Ramalho et al. (2010), among others.”
Two-stage DEA: caveat emptor (2011, methodology): “Such a model is conspicuously absent in Hoff (2007), McDonald (2009) and Ramalho et al. (2010).”
