Conditional Quantile Estimators : A Small Sample Theory
Franguridi, Grigory; Gafarov, Bulat; Wuthrich, Kaspar - 2021
We study the small sample properties of conditional quantile estimators such as classical and IV quantile regression. First, we propose a higher-order analytical framework for comparing competing estimators in small samples and assessing the accuracy of common inference procedures. Our framework...

The role of stigma in the design of welfare programs
Blumkin, Tomer; Margalioth, Yoram; Sadka, Efraim - 2008

Spin Doctors : A Model and an Experimental Investigation of Vague Disclosure
Deversi, Marvin - 2018
such positive spin? We use a theoretical model and a laboratory experiment to study the strategic use of vagueness in a … interval that contains her actual type. Theory predicts that when facing a possibly naive receiver, the sender discloses an … interval that separates her from worse types but is upwardly vague. Senders in the experiment adopt this strategy and some …
