Analysis of the Determinants of Income and Income Gap between Urban and Rural China
Su, Biwei - 2014
This paper studies on the determinants of income and urban-rural income gap to shed light on the problem of urban …-rural income inequality in China. OLS, conditional quantile regression and Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition methods are used to analyze … essential determinants of households' income level. These two factors exert heterogeneous effects at different percentiles of …

On the Multivariate Analysis of the "Lisbon Process"
Tausch, Arno; Heshmati, Almas; Bajalan, Chemen S.J. - Forschungsinstitut zur Zukunft der Arbeit <Bonn> - 2007
Starting from Professor Kornai´s assertion about the necessity to focus on the long-termperspectives of the transformation process, we analyze in this paper the Lisbon performanceof the countries of the European Union from such a long-term, structural perspective. Wepresent in a simple form the...

Quantile Treatment Effects in the Regression Discontinuity Design : Process Results and Gini Coefficient
Frölich, Markus - 2014
This paper shows nonparametric identification of quantile treatment effects (QTE) in the regression discontinuity design. The distributional impacts of social programs such as welfare, education, training programs and unemployment insurance are of large interest to economists. QTE are an...

The Short- and Long-Term Effects of School Choice on Student Outcomes : Evidence from a School Choice Reform in Sweden
Wondratschek, Verena - 2014
This paper evaluates the effects of a major Swedish school choice reform. The reform in 1992 increased school choice and competition among public schools as well as through a large-scale introduction of private schools. We estimate the effects of school choice and competition, using precise...

Unconditional Quantile Treatment Effects Under Endogeneity
Frölich, Markus; Melly, Blaise - 2021
This paper develops IV estimators for unconditional quantile treatment effects (QTE) when the treatment selection is endogenous. In contrast to conditional QTE, i.e. the effects conditional on a large number of covariates X, the unconditional QTE summarize the effects of a treatment for the...

Identification of Treatment Effects on the Treated with One-Sided Non-Compliance
Frölich, Markus; Melly, Blaise - 2021
Traditional instrumental variable estimators do not generally estimate effects for the treated population but for the unobserved population of compliers. They do identify effects for the treated when there is one-sided perfect non-compliance. However, this property is lost when covariates are...

Quantile Treatment Effects in the Regression Discontinuity Design
Frölich, Markus; Melly, Blaise - 2021
This paper shows nonparametric identification of quantile treatment effects (QTE) in the regression discontinuity design (RDD) and proposes simple estimators. Quantile treatment effects are a very helpful tool to characterize the effects of certain interventions on the outcome distribution. The...

The Finite Sample Performance of Semi- and Nonparametric Estimators for Treatment Effects and Policy Evaluation
Frölich, Markus - 2015
This paper investigates the finite sample performance of a comprehensive set of semi- and nonparametric estimators for treatment and policy evaluation. In contrast to previous simulation studies which mostly considered semiparametric approaches relying on parametric propensity score estimation,...
