A Contribution to the Empirics of Press Freedom and Corruption (2007, methodology): “…avoid some well-known criticisms of standard EBA being too restrictive for a potentially important variable to pass as robust (Sala-i-Martin, 1997; Temple, 2000), we carefully screen the regression models for potential problems of similarity, collinearity and fit that may help to explain why a…”
Intelligence, Human Capital, and Economic Growth: A Bayesian Averaging of Classical Estimates (BACE) Approach (2005, unknown): “A rich literature developed that attempted to create robust growth regressions (inter alia, Bleaney and Nishiyama 2002; Brock and Durlauf, 2001; Levine and Renelt, 1992; Sala-i-Martin, 1997a,b; Sala-i-Martin, Doppelhofer, and Miller, 2004; Temple, 2000).”
Does More Democracy Lead to Greater Economic Freedom (2003, methodology): “However, single-case diagnostics are well known to be inadequate in the presence of multiple outliers or leverage points (Temple, 2000).”
Greasing the wheels of entrepreneurship (2007, background): “As argued by Temple (2000), it is rare in empirical research that we can say with certainty that one model dominates all other possibilities in all dimensions.”
How Robust is the Growth-Openness Connection? Historical Evidence (2002, result): “The diagnostic tests confirm previous results in Temple (2000) on the econometric problems of growth regressions, but for a relatively small number of the empirical specifications.”
Determinants of long-term growth: New results applying robust estimation and extreme bounds analysis (2005, methodology): “As argued by Temple (2000) , the EBA is an intuitively appealing way to deal with the problem of model uncertainty.”
Infrastructure and Growth: Empirical Evidence (2009, background): “One of the common problems of growth regressions is the abundance of potential explanatory variables (Temple, 2000, see also Section 6).”
Are output growth-rate distributions fat-tailed? some evidence from OECD countries (2008, background): “22 Such an issue could, for example, be addressed through robust growth-regression techniques accounting for the problems discussed in Temple (2000).”
We Ran One Regression (2004, unknown): “Literally millions of regressions have been estimated, as several tit les proudly announce: see inter alia, Barro and Sala-i-Martin (1995), Levine and Renelt (1992), Sala-i-Martin (1997a, 1997b), Temple (2000) , Fern´ andez et al. (2001) and Hoover and Perez (2004).”
Greasing the wheels? The impact of regulations and corruption on firm entry (2011, unknown): “However, as pointed out by Temple (2000), there is no reason why standard model selection procedures cannot be used in advance to identify”
Economic Growth: The Role of Policies and Institutions (2001, background): “Recent work by Temple (2000) and Sturm and de Haan (2000) shows that, when rigorous control of outliers is allowed for, growth regressions tend to be more robust, although they might lead to different results from regressions without outlier control.”
Does Human Capital Matter for Growth in OECD Countries (2001, unknown): “Finally, as noted by Temple (2000), reverse causality problems of the kind analysed by Bils and Klenow (2000) are less severe when a measure of human capital stock is considered.”
