This paper considers the problem of assessing the distributional consequences of a treatment on some outcome variable of interest when treatment intake is (possibly) non-randomized but there is a binary instrument available for the researcher. Such scenario is common in observational studies and...

Consider a bipartite network where N consumers choose to buy or not to buy M different products. This paper considers the properties of the logit fit of the N ×M array of “i-buys-j” purchase decisions, Y = [Yij ]1≤i≤N,1≤j≤M, onto a vector of known functions of consumer and product...

This paper considers why the determinants of the inter- and intra-industry variance in R&D intensity in U.S. manufacturing differ markedly even though response parameters are similar across industries. A similar aggregation effect is noted by Grunfeld and Griliches (1960), and this paper gives...
