Speaking in numbers : the effect of reading performance on math performance among immigrants
Isphording, Ingo Eduard; Piopiunik, Marc; … - 2015
This paper is the first to estimate a causal effect of immigrant students' reading performance on their math performance. To overcome endogeneity issues due to unobserved ability, we apply an IV approach exploiting variation in age-at-arrival and the linguistic distance between origin and...

High-ability influencers? : the heterogeneous effects of gifted classmates
Balestra, Simone; Sallin, Aurélien; Wolter, Stefan C. - 2020
This paper examines how exposure to students identified as gifted (IQ ≥ 130) affects achievement in secondary school, enrollment in post-compulsory education, and occupational choices. By using student-level administrative data on achievement combined with psychological examination records, we...

Identification and estimation of heterogeneous agent models : a likelihood approach
Parra-Alvarez, Juan Carlos; Posch, Olaf; Wang, Mu-Chun - 2017
In this paper, we study the statistical properties of heterogeneous agent models with incomplete markets. Using a Bewley-Hugget-Aiyagari model we compute the equilibrium density function of wealth and show how it can be used for likelihood inference. We investigate the identifiability of the...
