论文摘要
核密度是核函数的总体,它本身是密度,并且可能是核密度。这用于将内核分解为其组成部分。皮尔逊(Pearson)对比例平等的测试应用于分位数,以测试组件分布是否彼此不同。通过对碳的社会成本进行荟萃分析来说明所提出的方法。不同的折现率会导致明显不同的Pigou税,但增长率没有不同。估计随着时间的流逝没有变化。不同的作者贡献了不同的估计,但是这些差异微不足道。内核分解可以应用于具有离散解释变量的许多其他领域。
A kernel density is an aggregate of kernel functions, which are itself densities and could be kernel densities. This is used to decompose a kernel into its constituent parts. Pearson's test for equality of proportions is applied to quantiles to test whether the component distributions differ from one another. The proposed methods are illustrated with a meta-analysis of the social cost of carbon. Different discount rates lead to significantly different Pigou taxes, but not different growth rates. Estimates have not varied over time. Different authors have contributed different estimates, but these differences are insignificant. Kernel decomposition can be applied in many other fields with discrete explanatory variables.
