The microeconometric estimation of treatment effects: an overview
Caliendo, Marco; Hujer, Reinhard - 2005
The need to evaluate the performance of active labour market policies is not questioned any longer. Even though OECD countries spend significant shares of national resources on these measures, unemployment rates remain high or even increase. We focus on microeconometric evaluation which has to...

Evaluating environmental programs: the perspective of modern evaluation research
Frondel, Manuel; Schmidt, Christoph M. - 2001
Large-scale environmental programs generally commit substantial societal resources, making the evaluation of their actual effects on the relevant outcomes imperative. As the example of the subsidization of energy-saving appliances illustrates, much of the applied environmental economics...

Knowing What Works The Case for Rigorous Program Evaluation
Schmidt, Christoph M. - 1999
Since interventions by the public sector generally commit substantial societal resources, the evaluation of effects and costs of policy interventions is imperative. This paper outlines why program evaluation should follow well-respected scientific standards and why it should be performed by...

Conditional systemic risk with penalized copula
Okhrin, Ostap; Ristig, Alexander; Sheen, Jeffrey R.; … - 2015
Financial contagion and systemic risk measures are commonly derived from conditional quantiles by using imposed model assumptions such as a linear parametrization. In this paper, we provide model free measures for contagion and systemic risk which are independent of the specifcation of...

Forecast combination under heavy-tailed errors
Cheng, Gang; Wang, Sicong; Yang, Yuhong - In: Econometrics : open access journal 3 (2015) 4, pp. 797-824
Forecast combination has been proven to be a very important technique to obtain accurate predictions for various applications in economics, finance, marketing and many other areas. In many applications, forecast errors exhibit heavy-tailed behaviors for various reasons. Unfortunately, to our...

Non-Parametric Tests for Firm Efficiency in Case of Errors-in-Variables
Kuosmanen, Timo; Post, Thierry - 2009
This paper develops a novel statistic for firm efficiency called efficiency depth that allows for statistical inference in case of errors-in-variables. We derive statistical tests that require minimal statistical assumptions; neither the sample distribution nor the noise level is required. An...
