on experiments with over 2,000 members of 610 families, we find that parents anticipate their children's present bias and … own present bias, but molding their children's preferences towards more time-consistent choices. …

This paper introduces bias-corrected estimators for nonlinear panel data models with both time invariant and time …/selection bias. We then estimate the primary equation by fixed effects including an appropriately constructed control function from … both steps might employ nonlinear fixed effects procedures it is necessary to bias adjust the estimates due to the …

We characterize the bias of propensity score based estimators of common average treatment effect parameters in the case … situations, even when selection is only on observables. -- Treatment effects ; propensity score ; bias ; unconfoundedness …

This paper provides an expression for the bias of the OLS estimator of the schooling coefficient in a simple static … coefficient is biased upward, and the bias is increasing with potential labor-market experience and the degree of earnings … persistence. In addition, NLSY data are used to show that the magnitude of the persistence bias is non-negligible, and the bias …
