Selection into Identification in Fixed Effects Models, with Application to Head Start
Miller, Douglas L. - 2019
Many papers use fixed effects (FE) to identify causal impacts of an intervention. In this paper we show that when the treatment status only varies within some groups, this design can induce non-random selection of groups into the identifying sample, which we term selection into identification...

Identification of Non-Additive Fixed Effects Models : Is the Return to Teacher Quality Homogeneous?
Hahn, Jinyong; Singleton, John D.; Yildiz, Neşe - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023
Panel or grouped data are often used to allow for unobserved individual heterogeneity in econometric models via fixed … effects. In this paper, we discuss identification of a panel data model in which the unobserved heterogeneity both enters … additively and interacts with treatment variables. We present identification and estimation methods for parameters of interest in …

Regularization from Economic Constraints : A New Estimator for Marginal Emissions
Holland, Stephen P.; Mansur, Erin; Verdier, Valentin; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024
Environmental policy is increasingly concerned with measuring emissions resulting from local changes to electricity consumption. These marginal emissions are challenging to measure because electricity grids encompass multiple locations and the information available to identify the effect of each...

How Regressive are Mobility-Related User Fees and Gasoline Taxes?
Glaeser, Edward L.; Gorback, Caitlin S.; Poterba, James M. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022
Pigouvian taxes and user fees can address environmental externalities and efficiently fund transportation infrastructure, but these policies may place burdens on poorer households. This paper presents new evidence on the distributional consequences of the gasoline tax, bus and light rail charges...

The Distributional Impacts of a VMT-Gas Tax Swap
Metcalf, Gilbert E. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022
More stringent fuel economy standards and increased market penetration of electric vehicles (EVs) present challenges to federal policy makers who historically have relied on motor vehicle fuel excise taxes to fund highway projects. This paper considers the distributional implications of a...

Vertical Externalities in Tax Setting : Evidence from Gasoline and Cigarettes
Besley, Timothy J. - 1999
A common feature of federal systems is that tax bases are joint property. Consequently, state and federal tax setting decisions are interdependent. Our aim here is to put forward a rudimentary theoretical analysis of this phenomenon, and to use the theory as a framework for econometrically...
