How much should we trust differences-in-differences estimates? Quarterly Journal of Economics 119:249–75
, 2004
"... Most papers that employ Differences-in-Differences estimation (DD) use many years of data and focus on serially correlated outcomes but ignore that the resulting standard errors are incon-sistent. To illustrate the severity of this issue, we randomly generate placebo laws in state-level data on fema ..."

Measuring individual differences in implicit cognition: The implicit association test
- J PERSONALITY SOCIAL PSYCHOL 74:1464–1480
, 1998
"... An implicit association test (IAT) measures differential association of 2 target concepts with an attribute. The 2 concepts appear in a 2-choice task (e.g., flower vs. insect names), and the attribute in a 2nd task (e.g., pleasant vs. unpleasant words for an evaluation attribute). When instructions ..."

oblige highly associated categories (e.g., flower + pleasant) to share a response key, performance is faster than when less associated categories (e.g., insect + pleasant) share a key. This performance difference implicitly measures differential association of the 2 concepts with the attribute. In 3
MACAW: Media access protocol for wireless lans
- In In Proceedings of the ACM SIGCOMM Conference
, 1994
"... In recent years, a wide variety of mobile computing devices has emerged, including portables, palmtops, and personal digit al assistants. Providing adequate network connectivity y for these devices will require a new generation of wireless LAN technology. In this paper we study media access protocol ..."

Generating Representative Web Workloads for Network and Server Performance Evaluation
, 1997
"... One role for workload generation is as a means for understanding how servers and networks respond to variation in load. This enables management and capacity planning based on current and projected usage. This paper applies a number of observations of Web server usage to create a realistic Web worklo ..."

A standardized set of 260 pictures: Norms for name agreement, image agreement, familiarity, and visual complexity
- JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY: HUMAN LEARNING AND MEMORY
, 1980
"... In this article we present a standardized set of 260 pictures for use in experiments investigating differences and similarities in the processing of pictures and words. The pictures are black-and-white line drawings executed according to a set of rules that provide consistency of pictorial represent ..."

Sources of naming variance, and mean familiarity and complexity of the exemplars, differed significantly across the set of categories investigated. The potential significance of each

As readers of the literature, many of us too often merely look at the results of a trial and take the authors at their word regarding the statistical significance of their findings.

Performance of optical flow techniques
- INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMPUTER VISION

"... While different optical flow techniques continue to appear, there has been a lack of quantitative evaluation of existing methods. For a common set of real and synthetic image sequences, we report the results of a number of regularly cited optical flow techniques, including instances of differential, ..."
