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...

Endogeneity and Non-Response Bias in Treatment Evaluation : Nonparametric Identification of Causal Effects by Instruments

Fricke, Hans - 2015

This paper proposes a nonparametric method for evaluating treatment effects in the presence of both treatment endogeneity and attrition/non-response bias, using two instrumental variables. Making use of a discrete instrument for the treatment and a continuous instrument for...

Direct and Indirect Treatment Effects : Causal Chains and Mediation Analysis with Instrumental Variables

Frölich, Markus - 2014

effects (i) of education on health, which may be mediated by income, and (ii) of the Job Corps training program, which may …

Treatment Evaluation with Multiple Outcome Periods Under Endogeneity and Attrition

Frölich, Markus - 2014

This paper develops a nonparametric methodology for treatment evaluation with multiple outcome periods under treatment endogeneity and missing outcomes. We use instrumental variables, pre-treatment characteristics, and short-term (or intermediate) outcomes to identify the average treatment...

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...

Exploiting Regional Treatment Intensity for the Evaluation of Labour Market Policies

Frölich, Markus; Lechner, Michael - 2021

We estimate the effects of active labour market policies (ALMP) on subsequent employment by nonparametric instrumental variables and matching estimators. Very informative administrative Swiss data with detailed regional information are combined with exogenous regional variation in programme...

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,...

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...
