Identification and inference in regression discontinuity designs with a manipulated running variable

Gerard, François; Rokkanen, Miikka; Rothe, Christoph - 2015

A key assumption in regression discontinuity analysis is that units cannot manipulate the value of their running variable in a way that guarantees or avoids assignment to the treatment. Standard identification arguments break down if this condition is violated. This paper shows that treatment...

Semiparametric estimation and inference using doubly robust moment conditions

Rothe, Christoph; Firpo, Sérgio Pinheiro - 2013

We study semiparametric two-step estimators which have the same structure as parametric doubly robust estimators in their second step, but retain a fully nonparametric specification in the first step. Such estimators exist in many economic applications, including a wide range of missing data and...

A general double robustness result for estimating average treatment effects

Słoczyński, Tymon; Wooldridge, Jeffrey M. - 2014

In this paper we study doubly robust estimators of various average treatment effects under unconfoundedness. We unify and extend much of the recent literature by providing a very general identification result which covers binary and multi-valued treatments; unnormalized and normalized weighting;...

Identifying program benefits when participation is misreported

Tommasi, Denni; Zhang, Lina - 2022

In cases of non-compliance with a prescribed treatment, estimates of causal effects typically rely on instrumental variables. However, when participation is also misreported, this approach can be severely biased. We provide an instrumental variable method that researchers can use to identify the...

Bounding program benefits when participation is misreported

Tommasi, Denni; Zhang, Lina - 2020

In empirical research, measuring correctly the benefits of welfare interventions is incredibly relevant for policymakers as well as academic researchers. Unfortunately, the endogenous program participation is often misreported in survey data and standard instrumental variable techniques are not...

Regression discontinuity design with continuous measurement error in the running variable

Davezies, Laurent; Le Barbanchon, Thomas - 2017

Since the late 90s, Regression Discontinuity (RD) designs have been widely used to estimate Local Average Treatment Effects (LATE). When the running variable is observed with continuous measurement error, identification fails. Assuming non-differential measurement error, we propose a consistent...

Testing CAPM with a large number of assets

Pesaran, M. Hashem; Yamagata, Takashi - 2012

This paper is concerned with testing the time series implications of the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) due to … evidence against Sharpe-Lintner CAPM is found mainly during the recent financial crisis. Furthermore, a strong negative … during episodes of market inefficiencies. -- CAPM ; testing for alpha ; market efficiency ; long/short equity returns ; large …

How does the economic uncertainty affect asset prices under normal and financial distress times?

Balcilar, Mehmet; Ozdemir, Zeynel Abidin; Ozdemir, Huseyin - 2022

By using a nonlinear VAR model, we investigate whether the response of the US stock and housing markets to uncertainty shocks depends on financial conditions. Our model allows us to change the response of the US financial markets to volatility shocks in periods of normal and financial distress....

The heterogeneous response of real estate asset prices to a global shock

Heiniger, Sandro; Koeniger, Winfried; Lechner, Michael - 2022

We estimate the transmission of the pandemic shock in 2020 to prices in the residential and commercial real estate market by causal machine learning, using new granular data at the municipal level for Germany. We exploit differences in the incidence of Covid infections or short-time work at the...

Higher-order beliefs and risky asset holdings

Gorodnichenko, Yuriy; Yin, Xiao - 2024

We combine a customized survey and randomized controlled trial (RCT) to study the effect of higher-order beliefs on U.S. retail investors' portfolio allocations. We find that investors' higher-order beliefs about stock market returns are correlated with but distinct from their first-order...
