A Life-Cycle Theory Analysis of French Household Electricity Demand
Bélaïd, Fateh; Rault, Christophe; Massié, Camille - 2021
This paper develops a pseudo-panel approach to examine household electricity demand behavior through the household life … evidence that the income elasticity of French residential electricity demand is 0.22, averaged over our four cohorts of … electricity consumption follows an inverted U-shaped distribution as a function of the age of the household's head. Most notably …

An Oaxaca Decomposition for Nonlinear Models
Bazen, Stephen - 2016
The widely used Oaxaca decomposition applies to linear models. Extending it to commonly used nonlinear models such as duration models is not straightforward. This paper shows that the original decomposition that uses a linear model can also be obtained by an application of the mean value...

Diagnostic Tests of Cross Section Independence for Nonlinear Panel Data Models
Hsiao, Cheng; Pesaran, M. Hashem; Pick, Andreas - 2014
In this paper we discuss tests for residual cross section dependence in nonlinear panel data models. The tests are based on average pair-wise residual correlation coefficients. In nonlinear models, the definition of the residual is ambiguous and we consider two approaches: deviations of the...

Nonlinearities and Workers' Heterogeneity in Unemployment Dynamics
Adjemian, Stéphane; Karamé, Frédéric; Langot, François - 2022
This study demonstrates that nonlinearities, coupled with worker heterogeneity, make it possible to reconcile the Diamond Mortensen Pissarides model with the labor market dynamics observed in the United States. Nonlinearities, induced by firings and downward real wage rigidities, magnify...

On the Estimation of Treatment Effects with Endogenous Misreporting
Nguimkeu, Pierre - 2018
Participation in social programs is often misreported in survey data, complicating the estimation of the effects of those programs. In this paper, we propose a model to estimate treatment effects under endogenous participation and endogenous misreporting. We show that failure to account for...

Income Inequality and the Size of Government : A Causal Analysis
Guzi, Martin - 2019
Expansion of the public sector and redistributive policies may reduce income inequality, but formal tests suffer from the problem of endogeneity of government size with respect to the distribution of income. Studying 30 European countries over the period 2004-2015, we apply instrumental variable...

Identification of Causal Mechanisms Based on Between-Subject Double Randomization Designs
Wunsch, Conny - 2018
Understanding the mechanisms through which treatment effects come about is crucial for designing effective interventions. The identification of such causal mechanisms is challenging and typically requires strong assumptions. This paper discusses identification and estimation of natural direct...
