Bound by Ancestors : Immigration, Credit Frictions, and Global Supply Chain Formation

Choi, Jaerim; Hyun, Jay; Park, Ziho - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

structure of global supply chain networks. Using an instrumental variable strategy, combined with a novel dataset that links … firm-to-firm global supply chain information with a US establishment database and historical migration data, we find that … the co-ethnic networks formed by immigration have a positive causal impact on global supply chain relationships between …

Racial Disparities and Bias in Consumer Bankruptcy

Argyle, Bronson; Indarte, Sasha; Iverson, Benjamin; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2025

We document substantial racial disparities in consumer bankruptcy outcomes and investigate the role of racial bias in contributing to these disparities. Using data on the near universe of US bankruptcy cases and self-reported and manually-identified measures of race, we show that minority filers...

Financial Firepower : School Shootings and the Strategic Contributions of Pro-Gun PACs

Baldwin, Eric A.; Iwasaki, Takuma; Donohue, John J. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2025

Fatal school shootings often spark support for stricter gun laws, threatening the gun lobby's influence and agenda. To prevent political fallout, do pro-gun Political Action Committees increase contributions after fatal school shootings? Leveraging a novel dataset of pro-gun PAC contributions...

Uncertainty in Empirical Economics

Schorfheide, Frank; You, Zhiheng - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2025

Econometricians invest substantial effort in constructing standard errors that yield valid inference under a hypothetical data-generating process. This paper asks a fundamental question: Are the uncertainty statements reported by applied researchers consistent with empirical frequencies? The...

The Experimental Selection Correction Estimator : Using Experiments to Remove Biases in Observational Estimates

Athey, Susan; Chetty, Raj; Imbens, Guido - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2025

Researchers increasingly have access to two types of data: (i) large observational datasets where treatment (e.g., class size) is not randomized but several primary outcomes (e.g., graduation rates) and secondary outcomes (e.g., test scores) are observed and (ii) experimental data in which...

Using Multiple Outcomes to Adjust Standard Errors for Spatial Correlation

Della Vigna, Stefano; Imbens, Guido; Kim, Woojin; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2025

Empirical research in economics often examines the behavior of agents located in a geographic space. In such cases, statistical inference is complicated by the interdependence of economic outcomes across locations. A common approach to account for this dependence is to cluster standard errors...

Two-way Fixed Effects and Differences-in-Differences Estimators with Several Treatments

Chaisemartin, Clément de; D'Haultfœuille, Xavier - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022

We study two-way-fixed-effects regressions (TWFE) with several treatment variables. Under a parallel trends assumption, we show that the coefficient on each treatment identifies a weighted sum of that treatment's effect, with possibly negative weights, plus a weighted sum of the effects of the...

Contamination Bias in Linear Regressions

Goldsmith-Pinkham, Paul; Hull, Peter; Kolesár, Michal - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022

We study the interpretation of regressions with multiple treatments and flexible controls. Such regressions are often used to analyze stratified randomized control trials with multiple intervention arms, to estimate value-added (for, e.g., teachers) with observational data, and to leverage the...
