Exponent of cross-sectional dependence : estimation and inference

Bailey, Natalia; Kapetanios, George; Pesaran, M. Hashem - 2012

An important issue in the analysis of cross-sectional dependence which has received renewed interest in the past few years is the need for a better understanding of the extent and nature of such cross dependencies. In this paper we focus on measures of cross-sectional dependence and how such...

Compulsory Schooling Laws and Formation of Beliefs : Education, Religion and Superstition

Mocan, Naci H. - 2014

We exploit information on compulsory schooling reforms in 11 European countries, implemented mostly in the 1960s and 70s, to identify the impact of education on religious adherence and religious practices. Using micro data from the European Social Survey, conducted in various years between 2002...

Estimating trade policy effects with structural gravity

Piermartini, Roberta; Yotov, Yoto V. - 2016

The objective of this manuscript is to serve as a practical guide for estimations with the structural gravity model. After a brief review of the theoretical foundations, we summarize the main challenges with gravity estimations and we review the solutions to address those challenges. Then, we...

Endogenous Stratification in Randomized Experiments

Abadie, Alberto - 2013

Researchers and policy makers are often interested in estimating how treatments or policy interventions affect the outcomes of those most in need of help. This concern has motivated the increasingly common practice of disaggregating experimental data by groups constructed on the basis of an...

External Validity in a Stochastic World

Rosenzweig, Mark R. - 2016

We examine the generalizability of internally valid estimates of causal effects in a fixed population over time when that population is subject to aggregate shocks. This temporal external validity is shown to depend upon the distribution of the aggregate shocks and the interaction between these...
