We develop a nonparametric instrumental variable approach for the estimation of average treatment effects on hazard rates and conditional survival probabilities, without model structure.We derive constructive identification proofs for average treatment effects under noncompliance and dynamic...

Many interesting and important economic questions relate to the e§ects of binary treatments such as starting a college degree or participating in a job training program. The causal e§ects of these treatments are likely to be heterogeneous and recent research has emphasized the estimation of...

Parental job loss is a large, negative shock to the household that can affect children in both the short- and long-run. Little is known, however, about how the long-run impacts of job loss on children vary with the child's age at the time of displacement. This paper provides the first empirical...
