We study an adaptive statistical approach to analyze brain networks represented by brain connection matrices of interregional connectivity (connectomes). Our approach is at a middle level between a global analysis and single connections analysis by considering subnetworks of the global brain network. These subnetworks represent either the inter-connectivity between two brain anatomical regions or by the intra-connectivity within the same brain anatomical region. An appropriate summary statistic, that characterizes a meaningful feature of the subnetwork, is evaluated. Based on this summary statistic, a statistical test is performed to derive the corresponding p-value. The reformulation of the problem in this way reduces the number of statistical tests in an orderly fashion based on our understanding of the problem. Considering the global testing problem, the p-values are corrected to control the rate of false discoveries. Finally, the procedure is followed by a local investigation within the significant subnetworks. We contrast this strategy with the one based on the individual measures in terms of power. We show that this strategy has a great potential, in particular in cases where the subnetworks are well defined and the summary statistics are properly chosen. As an application example, we compare structural brain connection matrices of two groups of subjects with a 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, distinguished by their IQ scores.

En aquest context de canvi econòmic i dels ritmes d’arribada dels fluxos migratoris, aquest treball aborda els efectes de la població immigrant sobre les empreses manufactureres localitzades en ciutats catalanes amb més de 1.000 habitants durant el període 2000-2008. El desenvolupament empíric posa especial èmfasi en la localització d’empreses i la població immigrada així com l’impacte que exerceix sobre el comportament de les empreses. Per tal de recollir les dades hem treballat amb tres bases de dades diferents: dades ofertes per Idescat, INE i Sistema de Anàlisis de Balances Ibéricos. En especial aquesta darrera base ha ofert informació a nivell individual de les empreses el qual ha requerit un procés de depuració complex i exhaustiu a través de programació estadística. En la literatura sobre els impactes econòmics dels immigrants predominen els treballs que han abordat un impacte sobre el mercat de treball, posant especial èmfasis en els diferencials salarials i la reducció de la bretxa salarial en funció del temps de residència dels immigrants. En canvi, en poques ocasions s’ha analitzat l’efecte de la immigració sobre el comportament de l’empresa. L’objectiu d’aquest treball és analitzar l’impacte dels entorns amb població immigrant a les ciutats catalanes i de forma més específica amb el creixement de les empreses locals i l’evolució dels seus nivells d’eficiència. Els objectius concrets que volem analitzar són els següents: i) mostrar les principals conclusions de la literatura ii) observar les pautes de localització d’immigrantsiii) mostrar les pautes de localització de les empreses iv) analitzar si les ciutats catalanes amb una major població immigrant presenten un impacte positiu o negatiu sobre el creixement de les empreses locals i l’evolució dels seus nivells d’eficiència a través d’eines economètriques.

The statistical properties of inflation and, in particular, its degree of persistence and stability over time is a subject of intense debate and no consensus has been achieved yet. The goal of this paper is to analyze this controversy using a general approach, with the aim of providing a plausible explanation for the existing contradictory results. We consider the inflation rates of 21 OECD countries which are modelled as fractionally integrated (FI) processes. First, we show analytically that FI can appear in inflation rates after aggregating individual prices from firms that face different costs of adjusting their prices. Then, we provide robust empirical evidence supporting the FI hypothesis using both classical and Bayesian techniques. Next, we estimate impulse response functions and other scalar measures of persistence, achieving an accurate picture of this property and its variation across countries. It is shown that the application of some popular tools for measuring persistence, such as the sum of the AR coefficients, could lead to erroneous conclusions if fractional integration is present. Finally, we explore the existence of changes in inflation inertia using a novel approach. We conclude that the persistence of inflation is very high (although non-permanent) in most post-industrial countries and that it has remained basically unchanged over the last four decades.
