Is Universal Child Care Leveling the Playing Field?
Havnes, Tarjei; Mogstad, Magne - Økonomisk institutt, Universitetet i Oslo - 2012
Many developed countries currently consider a move towards a universal child care program. The challenge in assessing the case for universal child care programs is that the evidence base is scarce. We analyze the staged expansion of subsidized, universally accessible child care in Norway. Our...

This paper uses … the obtained characterization results to arrange the members of two different generalized Gini families of inequality … ranking of a set of Lorenz curves. From the weight-functions of these inequality measures we obtain intuitive interpretations …

Using Instrumental Variables for Inference About Policy Relevant Treatment Effects
Mogstad, Magne - 2017
We propose a method for using instrumental variables (IV) to draw inference about causal effects for individuals other than those affected by the instrument at hand. Policy relevance and external validity turns on the ability to do this reliably. Our method exploits the insight that both the IV...

A theory for ranking distribution functions
Aaberge, Rolf; Havnes, Tarjei; Mogstad, Magne - 2014
We propose a general framework to unambiguously compare distributions functions in an economically interpretable way. Our framework provides complete ranking of any set of distributions and money metric interpretation of the social welfare level of a dominating distribution as compared to a...

A Theory for Ranking Distribution Functions
Aaberge, Rolf; Havnes, Tarjei; Mogstad, Magne - 2013
When is one distribution (of income, consumption, or some other economic variable) more equal or better than another? This question has proven difficult to answer in situations where distribution functions intersect and no unambiguous ranking can be attained without introducing weaker criteria...
