Complementarity and Aggregate Implications of Assortative Matching : A Nonparametric Analysis
Graham, Bryan S. - 2010
, potentially complementary, input fixed. We introduce a class of such reallocations -- correlated matching rules -- that includes … the status quo allocation, a random allocation, and both the perfect positive and negative assortative matching …

Beyond Cobb-Douglas : Flexibly Estimating Matching Functions with Unobserved Matching Efficiency
Lange, Fabian; Papageorgiou, Theodore - 2022
the empirical literature estimating the matching function, commonly used to map unemployment and vacancies into hires …. First, we show how to non-parametrically identify the matching function. Second, we estimate the matching function allowing … for unobserved matching efficacy, without imposing the usual independence assumption between matching efficiency and …

Selection into Identification in Fixed Effects Models, with Application to Head Start
Miller, Douglas L. - 2019
Many papers use fixed effects (FE) to identify causal impacts of an intervention. In this paper we show that when the treatment status only varies within some groups, this design can induce non-random selection of groups into the identifying sample, which we term selection into identification...

Evaluating Wireless Carrier Consolidation Using Semiparametric Demand Estimation
Bajari, Patrick - 2006
The US mobile phone service industry has dramatically consolidated over the last two decades. One justification for consolidation is that merged firms can provide consumers with larger coverage areas at lower costs. We estimate the willingness to pay for national coverage to evaluate this...

Efficient Estimation of a Dynamic Error-Shock Model
Hsiao, Cheng; Robinson, Peter M. - 2021
This paper is concerned with the estimation of the parameters in a dynamic simultaneous equation model with stationary disturbances under the assumption that the variables are subject to random measurement errors. The conditions under which the parameters are identified are stated. An...

Parametric and Non-Parametric Approaches to Price and Tax Reform
Deaton, Angus; Ng, Serena - 2021
In the analysis of tax reform, when equity is traded off against efficiency, the measurement of the latter requires us to know how tax- induced price changes affect quantities supplied and demanded. In this paper, we present various econometric procedures for estimating how taxes affect demand....

Nonlinear Policy Rules and the Identification and Estimation of Causal Effects in a Generalized Regression Kink Design
Card, David - 2012
We consider nonparametric identification and estimation in a nonseparable model where a continuous regressor of interest is a known, deterministic, but kinked function of an observed assignment variable. This design arises in many institutional settings where a policy variable (such as weekly...

Estimation of Permanent and Transitory Response Functions in Panels Data : A Dynamic Labor Supply Model
Lillard, Lee A. - 2021
The purpose of this paper is to develop and test a dynamic labor supply model which incorporates the essential features of these previous models. The issues of permanent and transitory effects and of cross section versus time series can be addressed much more directly given the recent...

The Estimation of Distributed Lags in Short Panels
Griliches, Zvi; Pakes, Ariel - 2022
In this paper, we investigate the problem of estimating distributed lags in short panels. Estimates of the parameter of distributed lag relationships based on single time-series of observations have been usually rather imprecise. The promise of panel data in this context is in the N repetitions...

Endogenous Stratification in Randomized Experiments
Abadie, Alberto - 2013
Researchers and policy makers are often interested in estimating how treatments or policy interventions affect the outcomes of those most in need of help. This concern has motivated the increasingly common practice of disaggregating experimental data by groups constructed on the basis of an...
