A Framework for Eliciting, Incorporating, and Disciplining Identification Beliefs in Linear Models
DiTraglia, Francis - 2016
To estimate causal effects from observational data, an applied researcher must impose beliefs. The instrumental variables exclusion restriction, for example, represents the belief that the instrument has no direct effect on the outcome of interest. Yet beliefs about instrument validity do not...

Errors of Measurement in Output Deflators
Lichtenberg, Frank R. - 1986
In this paper we investigate the incidence of measurement errors in two independent estimates of long-term price change, within the framework of "multiple indicators" models of price measurement. We develop estimates of the measurement-error variances associated with both the Producer Price...

Seasonal Adjustment with Measurement Error Present
Hausman, Jerry A. - 1983
Seasonal adjustment procedures attempt to estimate the sample realizations of an unobservable economic time series in the presence of both seasonal factors and irregular factors. In this paper we consider a factor which has not been considered explicitly in previous treatments of seasonal...
