Of primary focus here is how Tobin's estimator came to be and came to take … root in empirical health economics.

investigate the performance of stacked DID estimators. We show that the most basic stacked estimator does not identify the target … bias can be eliminated using corrective sample weights. We present a weighted stacked DID estimator, and show that it … correctly identifies the target aggregate, providing justification for using the estimator in applied work …

In this paper we use an instrumental variable estimator to exploit sources of independent variation, which allows … unbiased estimation of the tax-price elasticity under more general conditions. The estimator is applied to the demand for …
