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...

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 …

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...

Measuring and changing control : women's empowerment and targeted transfers
Almås, Ingvild; Armand, Alex; Attanasio, Orazio P.; … - 2015
This paper studies how targeted cash transfers to women affect their empowerment. We use a novel identification strategy to measure women's willingness to pay to receive cash transfers instead of their partner receiving it. We apply this among women living in poor households in urban Macedonia....

Inference for ranks with applications to mobility across neighborhoods and academic achievement across countries
Mogstad, Magne; Romano, Joseph P.; Shaikh, Azeem M.; … - 2022
It is often desired to rank different populations according to the value of some feature of each population. For example, it may be desired to rank neighborhoods according to some measure of intergenerational mobility or countries according to some measure of academic achievement. These rankings...

Finite- and large-sample inference for ranks using multinomial data with an application to ranking political parties
Bazylik, Sergei; Mogstad, Magne; Romano, Joseph P.; … - 2021
It is common to rank different categories by means of preferences that are revealed through data on choices. A prominent example is the ranking of political candidates or parties using the estimated share of support each one receives in surveys or polls about political attitudes. Since these...
