Do college-bound high school students need an extra year? Evidence from Ontario's 'double cohort'
Morin, Louis-Philippe - 2007
The Local Average Treatment Effect (LATE) interpretation of the IV estimates of the returns to schooling is becoming increasingly popular. Typically, researchers reporting LATE estimates do not provide systematic evidence that there is substantial heterogeneity across different ability levels in...

The t-DCC estimation procedure is applied to a portfolio of daily returns on …This paper considers a multivariate t version of the Gaussian dynamic conditional correlation (DCC) model proposed by …-DCC specification. The t-DCC model also passes a number of VaR diagnostic tests over an evaluation sample. The estimation results …

Estimating the technology of cognitive and noncognitive skill formation
Cunha, Flavio; Heckman, James Joseph; Schennach, Susanne - 2010
This paper formulates and estimates multistage production functions for children's cognitive and noncognitive skills. Skills are determined by parental environments and investments at different stages of childhood. We estimate the elasticity of substitution between investments in one period and...

Efficient probit estimation with partially missing covariates
Conniffe, Denis; O'Neill, Donal - 2009
A common approach to dealing with missing data is to estimate the model on the common subset of data, by necessity throwing away potentially useful data. We derive a new probit type estimator for models with missing covariate data where the dependent variable is binary. For the benchmark case of...

Testing the correlated random coefficient model
Heckman, James Joseph; Schmierer, Daniel; Urzúa, Sergio - 2009
The recent literature on instrumental variables (IV) features models in which agents sort into treatment status on the basis of gains from treatment as well as on baseline-pretreatment levels. Components of the gains known to the agents and acted on by them may not be known by the observing...

Exponent of cross-sectional dependence: Estimation and inference
Bailey, Natalia; Kapetanios, George; Pesaran, Hashem - 2012
An important issue in the analysis of cross-sectional dependence which has received renewed interest in the past few years is the need for a better understanding of the extent and nature of such cross dependencies. In this paper we focus on measures of cross-sectional dependence and how such...
