We characterize the bias of propensity score based estimators of common average treatment effect parameters in the case …

This paper introduces bias-corrected estimators for nonlinear panel data models with both time invariant and time …/selection bias. We then estimate the primary equation by fixed effects including an appropriately constructed control function from … both steps might employ nonlinear fixed effects procedures it is necessary to bias adjust the estimates due to the …

If the marginal utility of consumption depends on health status, this will affect the economic analysis of a number of … central problems in public finance, including the optimal structure of health insurance and optimal life cycle savings. In … this paper, we describe the promises and challenges of various approaches to estimating the effect of health on the …

We investigate the evolution of health inequality over the life-course. Health is modeled as a latent variable that is … variation in health for the college educated, but between 35% and 70% of total health variability for people without college … degrees. Consistent with this, we find that health inequality moves substantially more slowly over the life-course for the …
