The Hicksian definition of complementarity and substitutability may not apply in contexts in which agents are not utility maximisers or where price or income variations, whether implicit or explicit, are not available. We look for tools to identify complementarity and substitutability satisfying...

Understanding peer effects : on the nature, estimation and channels of peer effects
Feld, Jan; Zölitz, Ulf - 2015
This paper estimates peer effects in a university context where students are randomly assigned to sections. While students benefit from better peers on average, low-achieving students are harmed by high-achieving peers. Analyzing students' course evaluations suggests that peer effects are driven...

Identifying marginal treatment effects in the presence of sample selection
Bartalotti, Otávio; Kédagni, Désiré; Possebom, … - 2021
This article presents identification results for the marginal treatment effect (MTE) when there is sample selection. We show that the MTE is partially identified for individuals who are always observed regardless of treatment, and derive uniformly sharp bounds on this parameter under three...

The evaluation of community-based interventions : a Monte Carlo study
Augurzky, Boris; Schmidt, Christoph M. - 2001
The evaluation of interventions such as active labor market policies or medical programs by means of a randomized controlled trial is often considered the gold standard. However, randomized experiments might face severe shortcomings especially if performed at the group level. One such problem is...
