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...

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...

Semiparametric Estimates of Monetary Policy Effects : String Theory Revisited
Angrist, Joshua D. - 2013
We develop a flexible semiparametric time series estimator that is then used to assess the causal effect of monetary policy interventions on macroeconomic aggregates. Our estimator captures the average causal response to discrete policy interventions in a macro-dynamic setting, without the need...

Bounds on Treatment Effects in Regression Discontinuity Designs with a Manipulated Running Variable
Gerard, François - 2016
The key assumption in regression discontinuity analysis is that the distribution of potential outcomes varies smoothly with the running variable around the cutoff. In many empirical contexts, however, this assumption is not credible; and the running variable is said to be manipulated in this...

Regression Kink Design : Theory and Practice
Card, David - 2016
A regression kink design (RKD or RK design) can be used to identify casual effects in settings where the regressor of interest is a kinked function of an assignment variable. In this paper, we apply an RKD approach to study the effect of unemployment benefits on the duration of joblessness in...

Efficient Estimation of a Dynamic Error-Shock Model
Hsiao, Cheng - 1976
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...

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...

Parametric and Non-Parametric Approaches to Price and Tax Reform
Deaton, Angus - 1996
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....
