Optimal Weights for Marital Sorting Measures
Almar, Frederik; Schulz, Bastian - 2023
Changing distributions of male and female types affect the measurement of educationbased marriage market sorting. We develop a weighting strategy that minimizes the distortion of sorting measures due to changing type distributions. The optimal weights reflect that female type distributions have...

Econometric Mediation Analyses: Identifying the Sources of Treatment Effects from Experimentally Estimated Production Technologies with Unmeasured and Mismeasured Inputs
Heckman, James J.; Pinto, Rodrigo - 2013
This paper presents an econometric mediation analysis. It considers identification of production functions and the sources of output effects (treatment effects) from experimental interventions when some inputs are mismeasured and others are entirely omitted.

Estimation of Technical Change and TFP Growth Based on Observable Technology Shifters
Heshmati, Almas; Rashidghalam, Masoomeh - 2016
This paper models and estimates total factor productivity (TFP) growth parametrically. The model is a generalization of the traditional production model where technology is represented by a time trend. TFP growth is decomposed into unobservable technical change, scale economies and observable...
