Matching estimators are widely used in statistical data analysis. However, the distribution of matching estimators has … matching estimators. This representation allows the use of martingale limit theorems to derive the asymptotic distribution of … matching estimators. As an illustration of the applicability of the theory, we derive the asymptotic distribution of a matching …

In the context of the Beckerian theory of marriage, when men and women match on a single-dimensional index that is the weighted sum of their respective multivariate attributes, many papers in the literature have used linear canonical correlation, and related techniques, in order to estimate...

This paper investigates the method of matching regarding two crucial implementation choices, the distance measure and … the type of algorithm. We implement optimal full matching - a fully efficient algorithm - and present a framework for … that decisions regarding the matching algorithm depend on the structure of the data: In the case of strong selection into …

We propose a theory of skill mobility across cities. It predicts the well documented city size-wage premium: the wage distribution in large cities first-order stochastically dominates that in small cities. Yet, because this premium is reflected in higher house prices, this does not necessarily...

This paper proposes sequential matching and inverse selection probability weighting to estimate dynamic causal effects …. The sequential matching estimators extend simple, matching estimators based on propensity scores for static causal … analysis that have been frequently applied in the evaluation literature. A Monte Carlo study shows that the suggested …
