This paper uses two complementary approaches to estimate the effect of right-to-work (RTW) laws on wages and … indicate that RTW laws lower wages and unionization rates. Under the assumption that RTW laws only affect wages by lowering the … unionization rate, RTW can be used as an instrumental variable (IV) to estimate the causal effect of unions on wages. In our …

We study identification in a binary choice panel data model with a single predetermined binary covariate (i.e., a …

We formalize a noted [Guryan et al., 2009] but unexplored source of bias in peer effect estimation, arising because … the bias in a test of random peer assignment. We demonstrate that, when estimating endogenous peer effects, the negative … exclusion bias dominates the positive reflection bias when the true peer effect is small. We discuss conditions under which …

We provide a bias-adjusted HR estimator that is (nT)1/2 -consistent under any sequences (n, T) in which n and/or T … (with or without a degrees of freedom adjustment), applied to the fixed effects estimator for panel data with serially …

We consider a linear panel event-study design in which unobserved confounds may be related both to the outcome and to … leads to pre-event trends ("pre-trends") in the outcome. Alternative approaches, such as estimation following a test for pre …

We propose a generalization of the linear quantile regression model to accommodate possibilities afforded by panel data …; Section 2.6). We show that panel data allows the econometrician to (i) introduce dependence between the regressors and the … (NLSY79). Consistent with prior work (e.g., Chamberlain, 1982; Vella and Verbeek, 1998), we find that using panel data to …

In this paper, I present a simple characterization of the sample selection bias problem that is also applicable to the … problem of sample selection bias is fit within the conventional specification error framework of Griliches and Theil. A simple … estimator is discussed that enables analysts to utilize ordinary regression methods to estimate models free of selection bias …
