Concave-Monotone Treatment Response and Monotone Treatment Selection: With an Application to the Returns to Schooling

Okumura, Tsunao; Usui, Emiko - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2010

This paper identifies sharp bounds on the mean treatment response and average treatment effect under the assumptions of both concave monotone treatment response (concave-MTR) and monotone treatment selection (MTS). We use our bounds and the US National Longitudinal Survey of Youth to estimate...

Identification of Peer Effects through Social Networks

Bramoullé, Yann; Djebbari, Habiba; Fortin, Bernard - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2007

We provide new results regarding the identification of peer effects. We consider an extended version of the linear … cases, we provide easy-to-check necessary and sufficient conditions for identification. We show that endogenous and … exogenous effects are generally identified under network interaction, although identification may fail for some particular …
