A complete framework for model-free difference-in-differences estimation
Henderson, Daniel J.; Sperlich, Stefan - 2022
We propose a complete framework for model-free difference-in-differences analysis with covariates, where model-free means data-driven, in particular nonparametric estimation and testing, variable and scale choice. We start with searching for the preferred data setup by simultaneously choosing...

The relationship between subjective wellbeing and subjective wellbeing inequality: taking ordinality and skewness seriously
Grimes, Arthur L.; Jenkins, Stephen; Tranquilli, Florencia - 2020
We argue that the relationship between individual satisfaction with life (SWL) and SWL inequality is more complex than … described by leading earlier research such as Goff, Helliwell, and Mayraz (Economic Inquiry, 2018). Using inequality indices … inequality, matters for individual SWL outcomes; so too does whether we look upwards or downwards at the (skewed) distribution …

Survey under-coverage of top incomes and estimation of inequality : what is the role of the UK's SPI adjustment?
Burkhauser, Richard V.; Hérault, Nicolas; Jenkins, Stephen - 2017
Survey under-coverage of top incomes leads to bias in survey-based estimates of overall income inequality. Using income … how it affects estimates of overall income inequality. More generally, we assess whether the SPI adjustment is fit for …

Well-being over the life span : semiparametric evidence from British and German longitudinal data
Wunder, Christoph; Wiencierz, Andrea; Schwarze, Johannes; … - 2009
This paper applies semiparametric regression models using penalized splines to investigate the profile of well-being over the life span. Splines have the advantage that they do not require a priori assumptions about the form of the curve. Using data from the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS)...

Optimal bandwidth choice for the regression discontinuity estimator
Imbens, Guido; Kalyanaraman, Karthik - 2009
We investigate the problem of optimal choice of the smoothing parameter (bandwidth) for the regression discontinuity estimator. We focus on estimation by local linear regression, which was shown to be rate optimal (Porter, 2003). Investigation of an expected-squared-error-loss criterion reveals...
