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 …

Many applications in financial economics use data series with different starting or ending dates. This paper describes estimation methods, based on the generalized method of moments (GMM), which make use of all available data for each moment condition. We introduce two asymptotically equivalent...

Ultra-high frequency data are complete transactions data which inherently arrive at random times. Marked point processes provide a theoretical framework for analysis of such data sets. The ACD model developed by Engle and Russell (1995) is then applied to IBM transactions data to develop...

Researchers using instrumental variables to investigate ordered treatments often recode treatment into an indicator for any exposure. We investigate this estimand under the assumption that the instruments shift compliers from no treatment to some but not from some treatment to more. We show that...

We propose a conformant likelihood estimator with exogeneity restrictions (CLEER) for random coefficients discrete … estimator is both efficient and conformant: its rates of convergence will be the fastest possible given the variation available … in the data. The researcher does not need to pre-test or adjust the estimator and the inference procedure is valid across …

We introduce a general approach for analyzing large-scale text-based data, combining the strengths of neural network language processing and generative statistical modeling to create a factor structure of unstructured data for downstream regressions typically used in social sciences. We generate...
