Synthetic Control Methods for Comparative Case Studies: Estimating the Effect of California's Tobacco Control Program

Abadie, Alberto; Hainmueller, Jens; Diamond, Alexis - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2007

Building on an idea in Abadie and Gardeazabal (2003), this article investigates the application of synthetic control methods to comparative case studies. We discuss the advantages of these methods and apply them to study the effects of Proposition 99, a large-scale tobacco control program that...

Robust Inference with Multi-way Clustering

Cameron, Adrian Colin; Gelbach, Jonah B.; Miller, … - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2006

In this paper we propose a new variance estimator for OLS as well as for nonlinear estimators such as logit, probit and GMM, that provcides cluster-robust inference when there is two-way or multi-way clustering that is non-nested. The variance estimator extends the standard cluster-robust...

Inverse Probability Tilting for Moment Condition Models with Missing Data

Graham, Bryan S.; Pinto, Cristine Campos de Xavier; … - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2008

We propose a new inverse probability weighting (IPW) estimator for moment condition models with missing data. Our estimator is easy to implement and compares favorably with existing IPW estimators, including augmented inverse probability weighting (AIPW) estimators, in terms of efficiency,...

Generalized Moments Estimation for Panel Data

Horrace, William C.; Druska, Viliam - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2003

This paper considers estimation of a panel data model with disturbances that are autocorrelated across cross …. If the time dimension of the data is large, feasible and efficient estimation proceeds by using the time dimension to … estimate spatial dependence parameters. For the case where the time dimension is small (the usual panel data case), we develop …

Linear Social Interactions Models

Brock, William A.; Durlauf, Steven N.; Blume, Lawrence E.; … - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2013

This paper provides a systematic analysis of identification in linear social interactions models. This is both a theoretical and an econometric exercise as the analysis is linked to a rigorously delineated model of interdependent decisions. We develop an incomplete information game that...

Broken or Fixed Effects?

Gibbons, Charles E.; Serrato, Juan Carlos Suárez; … - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2014

This paper provides empirical evidence of an established theoretical result: in the presence of heterogeneous treatment effects, OLS is generally not a consistent estimator of the sample-weighted average treatment effect (SWE). We propose two alternative estimators that do recover the SWE in the...

Is the Stock Market Just a Side Show? Evidence from a Structural Reform

Campello, Murillo; Ribas, Rafael Perez; Wang, Yan - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2014

The 2005 split-share reform in China mandated the conversion of nontradable stocks into tradable status. This paper examines the effects of stock markets on corporate outcomes exploiting multiple institutional features of the Chinese conversion program. Using a generalized propensity score...

Estimating Person-Centered Treatment (PeT) Effects Using Instrumental Variables

Basu, Anirban - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2012

This paper builds on the methods of local instrumental variables developed by Heckman and Vytlacil (1999, 2001, 2005) to estimate person-centered treatment (PeT) effects that are conditioned on the person's observed characteristics and averaged over the potential conditional distribution of...

The Effect of Mandated Child Care on Female Wages in Chile

Prada, María F.; Rucci, Graciana; Urzúa, Sergio S. - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2015

This paper studies the effect of mandated employer-provided child care on the wages of women hired in large firms in Chile. We use a unique employer-employee database from the country's unemployment insurance (UI) system containing monthly information for all individuals that started a new...
