Regional policy evaluation : interactive fixed effects and synthetic control

Gobillon, Laurent; Magnac, Thierry - 2014

In this paper, we investigate the use of interactive effect or linear factor models in regional policy evaluation. We contrast treatment effect estimates obtained by Bai (2009)'s least squares method with the popular difference in differences estimates as well as with estimates obtained using...

Regional equilibrium unemployment theory at the age of the internet

Lutgen, Vanessa; Van der Linden, Bruno - 2015

This paper studies equilibrium unemployment in a two-region economy with matching frictions, where workers and jobs are free to move and wages are bargained over. Job-seekers choose between searching locally or searching in both regions. Search-matching externalities are amplified by the latter...

Local employment multiplier : evidence from relocation of public-sector entities in South Korea

Lee, Hwanoong; Ko, Changsu; Kim, Wookun - 2023

sector employment to estimate the local employment multiplier. We find that the introduction of one public sector employment … neighborhoods; this effect is also localized. Lastly, by estimating the local employment multiplier for each relocation site, we … document the heterogeneity of the local employment multiplier and provide suggestive evidence that this het-erogeneity is …

Regional economic forecasting : state-of-the-art methodology and future challenge

Lehmann, Robert; Wohlrabe, Klaus - 2014

Over the last decade, the topic of regional economic forecasting has become increasingly prevalent in academic literature. The most striking problem in this context is data availability at a regional level. However, considerable methodological improvements have been made to address this problem....

Trade openness and income inequality : new empirical evidence

Dorn, Florian; Fuest, Clemens; Potrafke, Niklas - 2021

We examine how trade openness influences income inequality within countries. The sample includes 139 countries over the period 1970-2014. We employ predicted openness as instrument to deal with the endogeneity of trade openness. The effect of trade openness on income inequality differs across...

Let the data speak? : on the importance of theory-based instrumental variable estimations

Grossmann, Volker; Osikominu, Aderonke - 2019

In absence of randomized controlled experiments, identification is often aimed via instrumental variable (IV) strategies, typically two-stage least squares estimations. According to Bayes' rule, however, under a low ex ante probability that a hypothesis is true (e.g. that an excluded instrument...

Globalization and income inequality revisited

Dorn, Florian; Fuest, Clemens; Potrafke, Niklas - 2018

This paper re-examines the link between globalization and income inequality. We use data for 140 countries over the period 1970-2014 and employ an IV approach to deal with the endogeneity of globalization measures. We find that the link between globalization and income inequality differs across...

From late to MTE : alternative methods for the evaluation of policy interventions

Cornelißen, Thomas; Dustmann, Christian; Raute, Anna; … - 2016

This paper provides an introduction into the estimation of Marginal Treatment Effects (MTE). Compared to the existing surveys on the subject, our paper is less technical and speaks to the applied economist with a solid basic understanding of econometric techniques who would like to use MTE...

On heckits, LATE, and numerical equivalence

Kline, Patrick; Walters, Christopher R. - 2018

Structural econometric methods are often criticized for being sensitive to functional form assumptions. We study parametric estimators of the local average treatment effect (LATE) derived from a widely used class of latent threshold crossing models and show they yield LATE estimates...
