Rate My Professor Robert Bartels

Bartels' influential publications demonstrate his impact across statistical methodology and applied economics. His 1982 paper, 'The rank version of von Neumann's ratio test for randomness,' published in the Journal of the American Statistical Association, has received 411 citations. Similarly, 'The effect of sample size on the mean efficiency in DEA with an application to electricity distribution in Australia, Sweden and New Zealand' (Journal of Productivity Analysis, 1998) has 317 citations. He contributed to understanding public policy implications through 'The economic costs of schizophrenia: Implications for public policy' (Archives of General Psychiatry, 1985, 213 citations). Additional key works include 'Distributed electricity generation in competitive energy markets: a case study in Australia' (The Energy Journal, 1997, 102 citations), 'Residential end-use electricity demand: results from a designed experiment' (The Energy Journal, 2000, 92 citations), 'A random coefficient approach to the estimation of residential end-use load profiles' (Journal of Econometrics, 1991, 79 citations), 'The robustness of the Durbin-Watson test' (The Review of Economics and Statistics, 1981, 66 citations), and 'The Frisch-Waugh theorem and generalized least squares' (Econometric Reviews, 1996, 57 citations). These publications highlight his expertise in econometric modeling, energy demand analysis, data envelopment analysis, and statistical robustness testing. Recognized as a notable member of the University of Sydney, Bartels' work continues to inform research in efficiency measurement, energy policy, and health economics.
