Complementarity and Aggregate Implications of Assortative Matching : A Nonparametric Analysis

Graham, Bryan S. - 2009

, potentially complementary, input fixed. We introduce a class of such reallocations -- correlated matching rules -- that includes … the status quo allocation, a random allocation, and both the perfect positive and negative assortative matching …

Measuring the Effects of Segregation in the Presence of Social Spillovers : A Nonparametric Approach

Graham, Bryan S. - 2010

In this paper we nonparametrically analyze the effects of reallocating individuals across social groups in the presence of social spillovers. Individuals are either 'high' or 'low' types. Own outcomes may vary with the fraction of high types in one's social group. We characterize the average...

Nonparametric Tests for Common Values at First-Price Sealed-Bid Auctions

Haile, Philip A. - 2003

We develop tests for common values at first-price sealed-bid auctions. Our tests are nonparametric, require observation only of the bids submitted at each auction, and are based on the fact that the winner's curse' arises only in common values auctions. The tests build on recently developed...

Identification and Efficient Semiparametric Estimation of a Dynamic Discrete Game

Bajari, Patrick - 2015

In this paper, we study the identification and estimation of a dynamic discrete game allowing for discrete or continuous state variables. We first provide a general nonparametric identification result under the imposition of an exclusion restriction on agent payoffs. Next we analyze large sample...

Identification and Efficiency Bounds for the Average Match Function under Conditionally Exogenous Matching

Graham, Bryan S. - 2016

. Consider the following matching mechanism: take a random draw from the `W=w_j` subgroup of the first population and match her … function (AMF), denote the expected output associated with this match. We show that (i) the AMF is identified when matching is … conditionally exogenous, (ii) conditionally exogenous matching is compatible with a pairwise stable aggregate matching equilibrium …

Regression Discontinuity Designs with an Endogenous Forcing Variable and an Application to Contracting in Health Care

Bajari, Patrick - 2011

Regression discontinuity designs (RDDs) are a popular method to estimate treatment effects. However, RDDs may fail to yield consistent estimates if the forcing variable can be manipulated by the agent. In this paper, we examine one interesting set of economic models with such a feature....
