Misspecification testing in a class of conditional distributional models

Rothe, Christoph; Wied, Dominik - 2012

We propose a specification test for a wide range of parametric models for the conditional distribution function of an outcome variable given a vector of covariates. The test is based on the Cramer-von Mises distance between an unrestricted estimate of the joint distribution function of the data,...

Testing for nonparametric identification of causal effects in the presence of a quasi-instrument

DeLuna, Xavier; Johansson, Per - 2012

The identification of average causal effects of a treatment in observational studies is typically based either on the unconfoundedness assumption or on the availability of an instrument. When available, instruments may also be used to test for the unconfoundedness assumption (exogeneity of the...

Employer Learning and Schooling-Related Statistical Discrimination in Britain

Galindo-Rueda, Fernando - 2003

This paper develops and tests a new model of asymmetric information in the labour market involving employer learning. In the model, I provide theoretical conditions for the identification – based on the experience and tenure profiles of estimated returns to ability and education – of...

Synthetic Difference-in-Differences Estimation

Clarke, Damian; Pailañir, Daniel; Athey, Susan; … - 2023

units are available over time. We lay out the theory underlying SDID, both when there is a single treatment adoption date … and when adoption is staggered over time, and discuss estimation and inference in each of these cases. We introduce the … sdid command which implements these methods in Stata, and provide a number of examples of use, discussing estimation …

Making Work Pay': in a rationed labour market

Bargain, Olivier; Caliendo, Marco; Haan, Peter; Orsini, … - 2006

We assess the labour supply effects of two 'making work pay' reforms in Germany. We provide evidence in favour of policies that distinguish between low effort and low productivity by targeting individuals with low wages rather than individuals with low earnings. In assessing the policies we...

Turning 18: What a difference application of adult criminal law makes

Entorf, Horst - 2011

This paper contributes to the literature on specific deterrence by addressing the issue of selecting adolescents into adult and juvenile law systems. In Germany, different from the U.S. and most other countries, turning a critical cutoff age does not cause a sharp discontinuity from juvenile to...

Unemployment in the OECD : Models and Mysteries

Junankar, P. N. (Raja); Madsen, Jakob B. - 2004

This paper compares models used to explain OECD unemployment. The models suggest that the ?natural rate of unemployment? has been driven up mainly by wage push factors. Panel data on twenty-two OECD countries are used to investigate the explanatory power of these models over the past two...

Cooperative Models in Action : Simulation of a Nash-Bargaining Model of Household Labor Supply with Taxation

Bargain, Olivier; Moreau, Nicolas - 2005

Several theoretical contributions, starting with McElroy and Horney (1981) and Manser and Brown (1980), have suggested to model household behavior as a Nash-bargaining game. Since then, very few attempts have been made to operationalize cooperative models of household labor supply for policy...

Nonparametric tests for treatment effect heterogeneity

Crump, Richard K.; Hotz, V. Joseph; Imbens, Guido W.; … - 2006

A large part of the recent literature on program evaluation has focused on estimation of the average effect of the …
