Dynamically assigned treatments: duration models, binary treatment models, and panel data models

Abbring, Jaap H.; van den Berg, Gerard J. - 2002

Often, the moment of a treatment and the moment at which the outcome of interest occurs are realizations of stochastic processes with dependent unobserved determinants. Notably, both treatment and outcome are characterized by the moment they occur. We compare different methods of inference of...

Mining for Mood Effect in the Field

Samahita, Margaret; Holm, Håkan J. - 2020

We conduct what we believe to be the most methodologically rigorous study of mood effect in the field so far to measure its economic impact and address shortcomings in the existing literature. Using a large dataset containing over 46 million car inspections in Sweden and England in 2016 and...

Selection Bias and the Decomposition of Wage Differentials

Yun, Myeong-Su - 2000

The major contribution of this paper is finding a new and general approach to decomposing log-wage differentials when selection effects are present. We divide the observed log-wage differentials between two groups into 1) differentials in predicted log-wages computed using observed individual...

Decomposition Analysis for a Binary Choice Model

Yun, Myeong-Su - 2000

This paper introduces a new and simple decomposition method for a binary choice model that is equivalent to the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition analysis for wage differentials. The decomposition method is first developed for a single probit model and later generalized to a simultaneous equations...

Migration Correlation: Definition and Efficient Estimation

Gagliardini, Patrick; Gourieroux, Christian - Institut für Schweizerisches Bankwesen <Zürich> - 2004

The aim of this paper is to explain why cross-sectional estimated migration correlations displayed in the academic and … a model with stochastic migration in which the parameters of interest, that are migration correlations, are precisely … defined. The impossibility of estimating consistently the migration correlations from cross-sectional data only is emphasized …
