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 … econometric techniques who would like to use MTE estimation. Our framework of analysis is a generalized Roy model based on the … IV estimation with a discrete instrument resulting in a local average treatment effect (LATE). Turning to IV estimation …

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...

The causal component in the intergenerational transmission of income
De Haan, Monique; Stubhaug, Magnus - 2024
We apply a partial identification analysis using comprehensive Norwegian register data to investigate the causal effect of father’s income on child income. We find a strong association between the incomes of fathers and children. The causal effect, however, equals at least 1% and at most 51%...

The effects of free secondary school track choice : a disaggregated synthetic control approach
Osikominu, Aderonke; Pfeifer, Gregor; Strohmaier, Kristina - 2021
We exploit a recent state-level reform in Germany that granted parents the right to decide on the highest secondary school track suitable for their child, changing the purpose of the primary teacher's recommendation from mandatory to informational. Applying a disaggregated synthetic control...

Pricing for a cooler planet : an empirical analysis of the effect of taxing carbon
Mideksa, Torben K. - 2021
Finland introduced the planet’s first carbon tax in 1990 to experiment with, to most economists, the best policy to reverse carbon emissions. I estimate the causal effect of taxing carbon on Finnish emissions using the Synthetic Control Approach (Abadie, 2021). The results suggest that taxing...

Abadie's kappa and weighting estimators of the local average treatment effect
Słoczyński, Tymon; Uysal, Selver Derya; Wooldridge, … - 2022
In this paper we study the finite sample and asymptotic properties of various weighting estimators of the local average treatment effect (LATE), several of which are based on Abadie (2003)’s kappa theorem. Our framework presumes a binary endogenous explanatory variable (“treatment”) and a...
