Empirical likelihood for regression discontinuity design

Otsu, Taisuke; Xu, Ke-Li; Matsushita, Yukitoshi - In: Journal of Econometrics 186 (2015) 1, pp. 94-112

This paper proposes empirical likelihood based inference methods for causal effects identified from regression discontinuity designs. We consider both the sharp and fuzzy regression discontinuity designs and treat the regression functions as nonparametric. The proposed inference procedures do...

Identification theory for high dimensional static and dynamic factor models

Bai, Jushan; Wang, Peng - In: Journal of Econometrics 178 (2014) 2, pp. 794-804

High dimensional factor models can involve thousands of parameters. The Jacobian matrix for identification is of a … the identification problem to a small rank problem, which is easy to check. The identification conditions allow both … are shown to be necessary and sufficient for local identification. …

Conditional moment models under semi-strong identification

Antoine, Bertille; Lavergne, Pascal - In: Journal of Econometrics 182 (2014) 1, pp. 59-69

We consider conditional moment models under semi-strong identification. Identification strength is directly defined …, asymptotically normal, robust to semi-strong identification, and does not rely on the choice of a user-chosen parameter, such as the … without prior knowledge of the identification pattern. Simulations show that our estimator is competitive with alternative …

On the observational implications of taste-based discrimination in racial profiling

Brock, William A.; Cooley, Jane; Durlauf, Steven N.; … - In: Journal of Econometrics 166 (2012) 1, pp. 66-78

This paper contributes to a growing literature that attempts to determine whether disparities in police stops and searches of potential criminals of different races stem from taste-based discrimination. The key challenge in making this evaluation is that police officers have more information...

Determinacy, indeterminacy and dynamic misspecification in linear rational expectations models

Fanelli, Luca - In: Journal of Econometrics 170 (2012) 1, pp. 153-163

This paper proposes a testing strategy for the null hypothesis that a multivariate linear rational expectations (LRE) model may have a unique stable solution (determinacy) against the alternative of multiple stable solutions (indeterminacy). The testing problem is addressed by a...

Maximum likelihood estimation and uniform inference with sporadic identification failure

Andrews, Donald W.K.; Cheng, Xu - In: Journal of Econometrics 173 (2013) 1, pp. 36-56

This paper analyzes the properties of a class of estimators, tests, and confidence sets (CSs) when the parameters are not identified in parts of the parameter space. Specifically, we consider estimator criterion functions that are sample averages and are smooth functions of a parameter θ. This...
