Long-run effects of dynamically assigned treatments : a new methodology and an evaluation of training effects on earnings

Berg, Gerard J. van den; Vikström, Johan - 2019

We propose and implement a new method to estimate treatment effects in settings where individuals need to be in a certain state (e.g. unemployment) to be eligible for a treatment, treatments may commence at different points in time, and the outcome of interest is realized after the individual...

Policy discontinuity and duration outcomes

Berg, Gerard J. van den; Bozio, Antoine; Dias, Mónica Costa - 2014

Causal effects of a policy change on hazard rates of a duration outcome variable are not identified from a comparison of spells before and after the policy change, if there is unobserved heterogeneity in the effects and no model structure is imposed. We develop a discontinuity approach that...
