Recovering latent variables by matching
Arellano, Manuel; Bonhomme, Stéphane - 2020
We propose an optimal-transport-based matching method to nonparametrically estimate linear models with independent …

Identification and efficiency bounds for the average match function under conditionally exogenous matching
Graham, Bryan S.; Imbens, Guido; Ridder, Geert - 2016
following matching mechanism: take a random draw from the W = wj subgroup of the first population and match her with an …), denote the expected output associated with this match. We show that (i) the AMF is identified when matching is conditionally … exogenous, (ii) conditionally exogenous matching is compatible with a pairwise stable aggregate matching equilibrium under …

Microeconomic models with latent variables : applications of measurement error models in empirical industrial organization and labor economics
Hu, Yingyao - 2015
This paper reviews recent developments in nonparametric identi.cation of mea- surement error models and their applications in applied microeconomics, in particular, in empirical industrial organization and labor economics. Measurement error models describe mappings from a latent distribution to...

Inference in experiments with matched pairs
Bai, Yuehao; Romano, Joseph P.; Shaikh, Azeem M. - 2019
This paper studies inference for the average treatment effect in randomized controlled trials where treatment status is determined according to a "matched pairs" design. By a "matched pairs" design, we mean that units are sampled i.i.d. from the population of interest, paired according to...

Household willingness to pay for organic products
Griffith, Rachel (contributor); Nesheim, Lars (contributor) - 2008
We use hedonic prices and purchase quantities to consider what can be learned about household willingness to pay for baskets of organic products and how this varies across households. We use rich scanner data on food purchases by a large number of households to compute household specific lower...

Estimating households' willingness to pay
Griffith, Rachel; Nesheim, Lars - 2010
The recent literature has brought together the characteristics model of utility and classic revealed preference arguments to learn about consumers' willingness to pay. We incorporate market pricing equilibrium conditions into this setting. This allows us to use observed purchase prices and...

Optimal data collection for randomized control trials
Carneiro, Pedro; Lee, Sokbae; Wilhelm, Daniel - 2016
In a randomized control trial, the precision of an average treatment effect estimator can be improved either by collecting data on additional individuals, or by collecting additional covariates that predict the outcome variable. We propose the use of pre-experimental data such as a census, or a...

Optimal data collection for randomized control trials
Carneiro, Pedro; Lee, Sokbae; Wilhelm, Daniel - 2017
In a randomized control trial, the precision of an average treatment effect estimator and the power of the corresponding t-test can be improved either by collecting data on additional individuals, or by collecting additional covariates that predict the outcome variable. We propose the use of...

Knowledge spillovers and patent citations : trends in geographic localization, 1976-2015
Kwon, Hyuk-Soo; Lee, Jihong; Lee, Sokbae; Oh, Ryungha - 2019
This paper examines the trends in geographic localization of knowledge spillovers via patent citations, extracting multiple cohorts of new sample US patents from the period of 1976-2015. Despite accelerating globalization and widespread perception of the "death of distance," our matched-sample...
