Constrained conditional moment restriction models

Chernozhukov, Victor; Newey, Whitney K.; Santos, Andres - 2015

This paper examines a general class of inferential problems in semiparametric and nonparametric models defined by conditional moment restrictions. We construct tests for the hypothesis that at least one element of the identified set satisfies a conjectured (Banach space) "equality" and/or (a...

From late to MTE : alternative methods for the evaluation of policy interventions

Cornelißen, Thomas; Dustmann, Christian; Raute, Anna; … - 2016

This paper provides an introduction into the estimation of Marginal Treatment Effects (MTE). Compared to the existing surveys on the subject, our paper is less technical and speaks to the applied economist with a solid basic understanding of econometric techniques who would like to use MTE...

Abadie's kappa and weighting estimators of the local average treatment effect

Słoczyński, Tymon; Uysal, Selver Derya; Wooldridge, … - 2022

In this paper we study the finite sample and asymptotic properties of various weighting estimators of the local average treatment effect (LATE), several of which are based on Abadie (2003)’s kappa theorem. Our framework presumes a binary endogenous explanatory variable (“treatment”) and a...

On heckits, LATE, and numerical equivalence

Kline, Patrick; Walters, Christopher R. - 2018

Structural econometric methods are often criticized for being sensitive to functional form assumptions. We study parametric estimators of the local average treatment effect (LATE) derived from a widely used class of latent threshold crossing models and show they yield LATE estimates...

Instrumental variables and causal mechanisms : unpacking the effect of trade on workers and voters

Dippel, Christian; Gold, Robert; Heblich, Stephan; … - 2017

This paper shows that import exposure affects voting behavior because it affects local labor markets. We develop a new framework for mediation analysis where one instrumental variable is sufficient to identify three causal effects. Using German data from 1987-2009, we find that import exposure...

When should we (not) interpret linear IV estimands as LATE?

Słoczyński, Tymon - 2021

In this paper I revisit the interpretation of the linear instrumental variables (IV) estimand as a weighted average of conditional local average treatment effects (LATEs). I focus on a practically relevant situation in which additional covariates are required for identification while the...
