What matters for environmental quality in the Next-11 countries : economic growth or income inequality?

Padhan, Hemachandra; Haouas, Ilham; Sahoo, Bhagaban; … - 2018

This study uses 1971-2013 panel data to explore the implications of growth, wealth disparities and energy consumption on carbon emissions in a sample of Next-Eleven (N-11) countries. It uses modern econometric techniques to highlight a long-run interplay between selected variables in the carbon...

The relationship between health and schooling : what's new?

Grossman, Michael - 2015

much less consensus as to whether this correlation reflects causality from more schooling to better health. The … relationship may be traced in part to reverse causality and may also reflect "omitted third variables" that cause health and …

Education and cancer risk

Leuven, Edwin; Plug, Erik J. S.; Rønning, Marte - 2014

There exists a strong educational gradient in cancer risk, which has been documented in a wide range of populations. Yet relatively little is known about the extent to which education is causally linked to cancer incidence and mortality. This paper exploits a large social experiment where an...

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 … Acyclic Graphs (DAG) used in one influential recent approach to causality (Pearl, 2000) and in the related literature on … causality, a central contribution of Haavelmo (1944). In general cases, DAGs cannot be used to analyze models for simultaneous …

Matching methods in practice : three examples

Imbens, Guido - 2014

There is a large theoretical literature on methods for estimating causal effects under unconfoundedness, exogeneity, or selection-on-observables type assumptions using matching or propensity score methods. Much of this literature is highly technical and has not made inroads into empirical...

Big data is a big deal but how much data do we need?

Askitas, Nikos - 2016

The more conservative among us believe that "Big Data is a fad that will soon fade out" and they may in fact be partially right. By contrast, others - especially those who dispassionately note that digitization is only now beginning to deliver its payload - may beg to differ. We argue that all...

Robust confidence intervals for average treatment effects under limited overlap

Rothe, Christoph - 2015

Estimators of average treatment effects under unconfounded treatment assignment are known to become rather imprecise if there is limited overlap in the covariate distributions between the treatment groups. But such limited overlap can also have a detrimental effect on inference, and lead for...

Policy discontinuity and duration outcomes

Berg, Gerard J. van den; Bozio, Antoine; Dias, Mónica Costa - 2014

Causal effects of a policy change on hazard rates of a duration outcome variable are not identified from a comparison of spells before and after the policy change, if there is unobserved heterogeneity in the effects and no model structure is imposed. We develop a discontinuity approach that...

Bye, bye, hotel mama, bye, bye good grades? : living in a student room and exam results in tertiary education

Amez, Simon; Baert, Stijn - 2021

We study whether living in a student room as a tertiary education student (instead of commuting between one's parental residence and college or university) affects exam results. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to study this relationship beyond cross-sectional analysis. That is, we...

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...
