Inference with arbitrary clustering

Colella, Fabrizio; Lalive, Rafael; Sakalli, Seyhun Orcan; … - 2019

Analyses of spatial or network data are now very common. Nevertheless, statistical inference is challenging since unobserved heterogeneity can be correlated across neighboring observational units. We develop an estimator for the variance-covariance matrix (VCV) of OLS and 2SLS that allows for...

Sibling death clustering in India : state dependence vs. unobserved heterogeneity

Data from a range of different environments indicate that the incidence of death is not randomly distributed across families but, rather, that there is a clustering of death amongst siblings. A natural explanation of this would be that there are (observed or unobserved) differences across...

A comment on variance decomposition and nesting effects in two- and three-level designs

Konstantopoulos, Spyros (contributor) - 2007

Multilevel models are widely used in education and social science research. However, the effects of omitting levels of the hierarchy on the variance decomposition and the clustering effects have not been well documented. This paper discusses how omitting one level in three-level models affects...

Scars of recessions in a rigid labor market

Cockx, Bart; Ghirelli, Corinna - 2015

We study the impact of graduating in a recession in Flanders (Belgium), i.e. in a rigid labor market. In the presence of a high minimum wage, a typical recession hardly influences the hourly wage of low educated men, but reduces working time and earnings by about 4.5% up to twelve years after...

Shirking, standards and the probability of detection

Sessions, John G.; Skåtun, John Douglas F. - 2015

By relaxing the common efficiency wage assumption of exogenous shirking detection probabilities, we demonstrate how standards and efficiency wages are related. In a more general setting where the probability of detection depends upon the equilibrium effort level of non-shirkers, we show that the...
