The first graph in the econ...just another thought:<br /><br />The first graph in the economist article cited by Fernando shows a huge difference between mean and median in the Reinhart-Rogoff analysis.<br /><br />This would require some heavy skewness in the data or some very large negative outliers, and would require a closer look. The median is a robust statistic and shows that the reduction in growth is small for half of all countries. <br /><br />We can use statsmodels.RLM if we want robust estimates, or, soon to come, quantile regression to see the impact on different groups of countries and years.Josef Perktoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04810164380416139793noreply@blogger.com
