The Romano-Wolf multiple hypothesis correction in Stata
Clarke, Damian; Romano, Joseph P.; Wolf, Michael - 2019
When considering multiple hypothesis tests simultaneously, standard statistical techniques will lead to over-rejection of null hypotheses unless the multiplicity of the testing framework is explicitly considered. In this paper we discuss the Romano-Wolf multiple hypothesis correction, and...

Bootstrap inference for K-nearest neighbour matching estimators
DeLuna, Xavier; Johansson, Per-Olov; Sjöstedt-de Luna, Sara - 2010
Abadie and Imbens (2008, Econometrica) showed that classical bootstrap schemes fail to provide correct inference for K …-nearest neighbour (KNN) matching estimators of average causal effects. This is an interesting result showing that bootstrap should not … respect to the matching covariate, we obtain a bootstrap scheme valid also with heterogeneous causal effects where mild …

A theory of social impact bonds
Tortorice, Daniel L.; Bloom, David E.; Kirby, Paige; … - 2020
Social impact bonds (SIBs) are an innovative financing mechanism for public goods. In a SIB, an investor provides capital to a service provider for a social intervention. The investor receives a return based on the outcome of the intervention relative to a predetermined benchmark. We describe...

A unique bond : twin bereavement and lifespan associations of identical and fraternal twins
Berg, Gerard J. van den; Drepper, Bettina - 2018
Empirical analyses of twin mortality often use models with dependent unobserved frailty terms capturing genetic and childhood environmental determinants. This ignores that mortality rates can be co-dependent due to bereavement effects, i.e. to a time-dependent causal effect of the loss of the...

The causal effect of parent's schooling on children's schooling : a comparison of estimation methods
Holmlund, Helena (contributor); Lindahl, Mikael (contributor) - 2008
Recent studies that aim to estimate the causal link between the education of parents and their children provide evidence that is far from conclusive. This paper explores why. There are a number of possible explanations. One is that these studies rely on different data sources, gathered in...
