Implementing the Double Bootstrap

Computational Economics, 1998, vol. 12, issue 1, 79-95

Abstract: The single bootstrap already is popular in economics, though the double bootstrap has better convergence properties. We discuss the theory and implementation of the double bootstrap, both with and without the pivotal transformation, and give detailed examples of each. One example is a nonlinear double bootstrap of a Cobb-Douglas production function, and explains the use of Gauss-Newton Regressions as a device to decrease computational time. Another example is double bootstrapping elasticities from a translog production function. Citation Copyright 1998 by Kluwer Academic Publishers.
