Sequential Matching Estimation of Dynamic Causal Models
Lechner, Michael - 2004
This paper proposes sequential matching and inverse selection probability weighting to estimate dynamic causal effects …. The sequential matching estimators extend simple, matching estimators based on propensity scores for static causal … estimators perform well in small and medium size samples. Based on the application of the sequential matching estimators to an …

Testing for nonparametric identification of causal effects in the presence of a quasi-instrument
de Luna, Xavier; Johansson, Per - 2012
The identification of average causal effects of a treatment in observational studies is typically based either on the unconfoundedness assumption or on the availability of an instrument. When available, instruments may also be used to test for the unconfoundedness assumption (exogeneity of the...

Identifying Reduced-Form Relations with Panel Data
Vollebergh, Herman R.J.; Melenberg, Bertrand; … - 2007
The literature that tests for U-shaped relationships using panel data, such as those between pollution and income or inequality and growth, reports widely divergent (parametric and non-parametric) empirical findings. We explain why lack of identification lies at the root of these differences. To...

Assessing bias in the estimation of causal effects: Rosenbaum bounds on matching estimators and instrumental variables estimation with imperfect instruments
DiPrete, Thomas A.; Gangl, Markus - 2004
Propensity score matching provides an estimate of the effect of a 'treatment' variable on an outcome variable that is … largely free of bias arising from an association between treatment status and observable variables. However, matching methods … undermine the conclusions about causal effects from a matching analysis. Instrumental variables (IV) estimation provides an …

Quantile treatment effects in the regression discontinuity design: Process results and gini coefficient
Frölich, Markus; Melly, Blaise - 2010
This paper shows nonparametric identification of quantile treatment effects (QTE) in the regression discontinuity design. The distributional impacts of social programs such as welfare, education, training programs and unemployment insurance are of large interest to economists. QTE are an...

Causal effects of monetary shocks: semiparametric conditional independence tests with a multinomial propensity score
Angrist, Joshua D.; Kuersteiner, Guido M. - 2008
Macroeconomists have long been concerned with the causal effects of monetary policy. When the identification of causal effects is based on a selection-on-observables assumption, non-causality amounts to the conditional independence of outcomes and policy changes. This paper develops a...
