Effects of prenatal and early life malnutrition: Evidence from the Greek famine

Neelsen, Sven; Stratmann, Thomas - 2010

This paper examines the long run education and labor market effects from early-life exposure to the Greek 1941-42 famine. Given the short duration of the famine, we can separately identify the famine effects for cohorts exposed in utero, during infancy and at one year of age. We find that...

Does Homeownership Promote Wealth Accumulation?

Kaas, Leo; Kocharkov, Georgi; Preugschat, Edgar - 2016

It is well known that homeowners are richer than renters, even after controlling for observable characteristics. This is often used as an argument for policies that foster homeownership. However, the causal link between homeownership and wealth is difficult to establish due to many potential...

Abadie's Kappa and Weighting Estimators of the Local Average Treatment Effect

Sloczynski, Tymon; Uysal, S. Derya; Wooldridge, Jeffrey M. - 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...

Estimating the Laffer Tax Rate on Capital Income: Cross-Base Responses Matter!

Lefebvre, Marie-Noëlle; Lehmann, Etienne; Sicsic, Michaël - 2022

We theoretically express the Laffer tax rate on capital income as a function of the elasticities of capital income (the "direct" elasticity) and of labor income (the "cross" elasticity) with respect to the net-of-tax rate on capital income. We estimate these elasticities using salient capital...

Doubly Robust Estimation of Local Average Treatment Effects Using Inverse Probability Weighted Regression Adjustment

Sloczynski, Tymon; Uysal, S. Derya; Wooldridge, Jeffrey M. - 2022

We revisit the problem of estimating the local average treatment effect (LATE) and the local average treatment effect on the treated (LATT) when control variables are available, either to render the instrumental variable (IV) suitably exogenous or to improve precision. Unlike previous...

Rainy Day Politics - An Instrumental Variables Approach to the Effect of Parties on Political Outcomes

Lind, Jo Thori - 2014

Rain affects electoral turnout both through a direct effect on the cost of voting and by changing the opportunity cost. In a panel of Norwegian municipalities I find that rain on Election Day increases turnout. As turnout affects electoral outcomes, rain provides an exogeneous source of...

Did Globalization Influence Credit Market Deregulation

Eppinger, Peter; Potrafke, Niklas - 2015

We investigate whether globalization influenced credit market deregulation over the period 1970-2010. Globalization is measured by the KOF indices of globalization. Credit market deregulation is measured by the credit market freedom indicators of the Fraser Institute. The results from both...
