Seasonal Adjustment with Measurement Error Present
Hausman, Jerry A.; Watson, Mark W. - 2021
Seasonal adjustment procedures attempt to estimate the sample realizations of an unobservable economic time series in the presence of both seasonal factors and irregular factors. In this paper we consider a factor which has not been considered explicitly in previous treatments of seasonal...

Quasi-Experimental Shift-Share Research Designs
Borusyak, Kirill - 2018
Many studies use shift-share (or “Bartik”) instruments, which average a set of shocks with exposure share weights. We provide a new econometric framework for shift-share instrumental variable (SSIV) regressions in which identification follows from the quasi-random assignment of shocks, while...

Collective Choice and Voluntary Provision of Public Goods
Epple, Dennis - 2018
Some public goods are provided entirely with private contributions, others with a mixture of public and private funding, and still others are entirely publicly funded. To explain this variation, a model of dual provision is developed that endogenizes public and private funding. Members of the...

Estimating the Impacts of Program Benefits : Using Instrumental Variables with Underreported and Imputed Data
Stephens, Melvin - 2015
Survey non-response has risen in recent years which has increased the share of imputed and underreported values found on commonly used datasets. While this trend has been well-documented for earnings, the growth in non-response to government transfers questions has received far less attention....

A Framework for Eliciting, Incorporating, and Disciplining Identification Beliefs in Linear Models
DiTraglia, Francis - 2016
To estimate causal effects from observational data, an applied researcher must impose beliefs. The instrumental variables exclusion restriction, for example, represents the belief that the instrument has no direct effect on the outcome of interest. Yet beliefs about instrument validity do not...
