Instrumental variables in models with multiple outcomes : the general unordered case

Heckman, James J. (contributor); Urzua, Sergio (contributor) - 2008

This paper develops the method of local instrumental variables for models with multiple, unordered treatments when treatment choice is determined by a nonparametric version of the multinomial choice model. Responses to interventions are permitted to be heterogeneous in a general way and agents...

A note on adapting propensity score matching and selection models to choice based samples

Heckman, James J.; Todd, Petra - 2009

The probability of selection into treatment plays an important role in matching and selection models. However, this … note establishes that the selection and matching procedures can be implemented using propensity scores fit on choice … monotonically related to the odds ratio of the true propensity scores. -- Choice-based sampling ; matching models ; propensity …

Causality and econometrics

Heckman, James J.; Pinto, Rodrigo - 2022

This paper examines the econometric causal model for policy analysis developed by the seminal ideas of Ragnar Frisch and Trygve Haavelmo. We compare the econometric causal model with two popular causal frameworks: Neyman-Holland causal model and the do-calculus. The Neyman-Holland causal model...

The identification and economic content of ordered choice models with stochastic thresholds

Cunha, Flávio (contributor); Heckman, James J. (contributor) - 2007

This paper extends the widely used ordered choice model by introducing stochastic thresholds and interval-specific outcomes. The model can be interpreted as a generalization of the GAFT (MPH) framework for discrete duration data that jointly models durations and outcomes associated with...

Nonparametric identification and stimation of nonadditive hedonic Models

Heckman, James J.; Matzkin, Rosa L.; Nesheim, Lars - 2009

This paper studies the identification and estimation of preferences and technologies in equilibrium hedonic models. In it, we identify nonparametric structural relationships with nonadditive heterogeneity. We determine what features of hedonic models can be identified from equilibrium...

Causal analysis after Haavelmo

Heckman, James J.; Pinto, Rodrigo - 2013

Haavelmo's seminal 1943 paper is the first rigorous treatment of causality. In it, he distinguished the definition of causal parameters from their identification. He showed that causal parameters are de fined using hypothetical models that assign variation to some of the inputs determining...

Econometric causality

Heckman, James J. (contributor) - 2008

This paper presents the econometric approach to causal modeling. It is motivated by policy problems. New causal parameters are defined and identified to address specific policy problems. Economists embrace a scientific approach to causality and model the preferences and choices of agents to...

Removing the veil of ignorance in assessing the distributional impacts of social policies

Carneiro, Pedro; Hansen, Karsten T.; Heckman, James J. - 2002

This paper summarizes our recent research on evaluating the distributional consequences of social programs. This research advances the economic policy evaluation literature beyond estimating assorted mean impacts to estimate distributions of outcomes generated by different policies and determine...
