POL 571: Convergence of Random Variables
imai.fas.harvard.edumodel because in theory one can obtain the infinite number of random sample from the population (hence, the population size is infinite). In the social sciences, this often requires one to think about ... implies that the marginal distribution of X i is the same as the case of sampling with replacement. 1.

imai.fas.harvard.eduFinally, we emphasize that the independence of random variables implies the mean independence, but the latter does not necessarily imply the former. Theorem 2 (Expectation and Independence) Let X and Y be independent random variables. Then, the two random variables are mean independent, which is defined as, E(XY) = E(X)E(Y).
Measuring the Economic Impact of Civil War

Wars that spill out across the entire country, require the highest level of military recruitment, and result in the greatest number of fatalities are the most damaging to the domestic economy. This paper also makes methodological improvements. First, we improve the data.
