Nonparametric identification and stimation of nonadditive hedonic Models

Heckman, James Joseph; Matzkin, Rosa Liliana; Nesheim, Lars - 2009

This paper studies the identification and estimation of preferences and technologies in equilibrium hedonic models. In it, we identify nonparametric structural relationships with nonadditive heterogeneity. We determine what features of hedonic models can be identified from equilibrium...

Evaluating marginal policy changes and the average effect of treatment for individuals at the margin

Carneiro, Pedro; Heckman, James Joseph; Vytlacil, Edward - 2009

This paper develops methods for evaluating marginal policy changes. We characterize how the effects of marginal policy changes depend on the direction of the policy change, and show that marginal policy effects are fundamentally easier to identify and to estimate than conventional treatment...

The identification and economic content of ordered choice models with stochastic thresholds

Cunha, Flavio; Heckman, James Joseph; Navarro, Salvador - 2007

This paper extends the widely used ordered choice model by introducing stochastic thresholds and interval-specific outcomes. The model can be interpreted as a generalization of the GAFT (MPH) framework for discrete duration data that jointly models durations and outcomes associated with...

Simulation and Estimation of Hedonic Models

Heckman, James Joseph; Matzkin, Rosa Liliana; Nesheim, Lars - 2003

Making use of restrictions imposed by equilibrium, theoretical progress has been made on the nonparametric and semiparametric estimation and identification of scalar additive hedonic models (Ekeland, Heckman, and Nesheim, 2002) and scalar nonadditive hedonic models (Heckman, Matzkin, and...

Instrumental variables in models with multiple outcomes: the general unordered case

Heckman, James Joseph; Urzúa, Sergio; Vytlacil, Edward - 2008

This paper develops the method of local instrumental variables for models with multiple, unordered treatments when treatment choice is determined by a nonparametric version of the multinomial choice model. Responses to interventions are permitted to be heterogeneous in a general way and agents...

A note on adapting propensity score matching and selection models to choice based samples

Heckman, James Joseph; Todd, Petra E. - 2009

The probability of selection into treatment plays an important role in matching and selection models. However, this … note establishes that the selection and matching procedures can be implemented using propensity scores fit on choice …

The Performance of Performance Standards

Heckman, James Joseph; Heinrich, Carolyn J.; Smith, … - 2002

This paper examines the performance of the JTPA performance system, a widely emulated model for inducing efficiency in government organizations. We present a model of how performance incentives may distort bureaucratic decisions. We define cream skimming within the model. Two major empirical...
