Equilibrium Simulation with Microeconometric Models : A New Procedure with an Application to Income Support Policies

Colombino, Ugo - 2012

-time jobs). The most common use of these models is the simulation of tax-transfer reforms. The simulation is usually interpreted … simulation procedure, however, typically keeps fixed the estimated alternative-specific constants. In this note we argue that …-specific constants leads to the development of a simulation procedure consistent with the comparative statics interpretation. The …

Please Call Again : Correcting Non-Response Bias in Treatment Effect Models

Behaghel, Luc - 2012

We propose a novel selectivity correction procedure to deal with survey attrition, at the crossroads of the "Heckit" and of the bounding approach of Lee (2009). As a substitute for the instrument needed in sample selectivity correction models, we use information on the number of attempts that...

Sample Attrition Bias in Randomized Experiments : A Tale of Two Surveys

Behaghel, Luc - 2009

The randomized trial literature has helped to renew the fields of microeconometric policy evaluation by emphasizing identification issues raised by endogenous program participation. Measurement and attrition issues have perhaps received less attention. This paper analyzes the dramatic impact of...

College Education and Wages in the U.K : Estimating Conditional Average Structural Functions in Nonadditive Models with Binary Endogenous Variables

Klein, Tobias J. - 2007

We propose and implement an estimator for identifiable features of correlated random coefficient models with binary endogenous variables and nonadditive errors in the outcome equation. It is suitable, e.g., for estimation of the average returns to college education when they are heterogeneous...

Designing Optimal Taxes with a Microeconometric Model of Household Labour Supply

Aaberge, Rolf - 2006

The purpose of this paper is to present an exercise where we identify optimal income tax rules under the constraint of fixed tax revenue. To this end, we estimate a microeconomic model with 78 parameters that capture heterogeneity in consumption-leisure preferences for singles and couples as...

Nonparametric Tests for Treatment Effect Heterogeneity

Crump, Richard K. - 2006

A large part of the recent literature on program evaluation has focused on estimation of the average effect of the treatment under assumptions of unconfoundedness or ignorability following the seminal work by Rubin (1974) and Rosenbaum and Rubin (1983). In many cases however, researchers are...

Is R&D Good for Employment? Microeconometric Evidence from the EU

Piva, Mariacristina - 2017

Using a unique firm-level database comprising the top European R&D investors over the period 2002-2013 and running LSDVC estimates, this study finds a significant labour-friendly impact of R&D expenditures. However, this positive employment effect appears limited in magnitude and entirely due to...

Multivariate Decomposition for Hazard Rate Models

Powers, Daniel A. - 2009

We develop a regression decomposition technique for hazard rate models, where the difference in observed rates is decomposed into components attributable to group differences in characteristics and group differences in effects. The baseline hazard is specified using a piecewise constant...

Wage Decompositions Using Panel Data Sample Selection Correction

Oaxaca, Ronald L. - 2016

This paper analyzes wage decomposition methodology in the context of panel data sample selection embedded in a correlated random effects setting. Identification issues unique to panel data are examined for their implications for wage decompositions. As an empirical example, we apply our...

Instrumental Variable Estimation of Treatment Effects for Duration Outcomes

Bijwaard, Govert E. - 2021

In this article we propose and implement an instrumental variable estimation procedure to obtain treatment effects on duration outcomes. The method can handle the typical complications that arise with duration data of time-varying treatment and censoring. The treatment effect we define is in...
