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 …

Dynamic Econometric Program Evaluation
Abbring, Jaap H. - 2003
H. Theil has made important contributions to the analysis of simultaneous-equations models. This paper gives an exposition of some closely related recent developments in microeconometrics, with a focus on efforts to develop robust methods for dynamic policy evaluation. We set the stage with a...

Knowing What Works The Case for Rigorous Program Evaluation
Schmidt, Christoph M. - 1999
Since interventions by the public sector generally commit substantial societal resources, the evaluation of effects and costs of policy interventions is imperative. This paper outlines why program evaluation should follow well-respected scientific standards and why it should be performed by...

The Effect of Early Life Health on Later Life Home Care Use: The Mediating Role of Household Composition
Bijwaard, Govert; Alessie, Rob; Angelini, Viola - 2018
In this paper we estimate the effect of early life health on home care use later in life, and we analyse whether this effect is mediated through household composition. We use Dutch administrative data on men born in 1944-1947 who were examined for military service between 1961-1965 and we link...

Scholarly impact of core econometrics journals: A catalog and citations-based ranking
Mixon, Franklin G.; Upadhyaya, Kamal Prasad - In: International Econometric Review (IER) 13 (2021) 4, pp. 118-131
With 23 core econometrics journals now in operation, this study fills a gap in the literature by cataloguing the editorial specifications of each journal, and, more importantly, assessing their impact based on citations to research published in each over the 15-year period beginning in 2001 and...

Program Evaluation and Random Program Starts
Fredriksson, Peter; Johansson, Per - 2002
This paper discusses the evaluation problem using observational data when the timing of treatment is an outcome of a stochastic process. We show that, without additional assumptions, it is not possible to estimate the average treatment effect and treatment on the treated. It is, however,...

The Link Between R&D Subsidies, R&D Spending and Technological Performance
Czarnitzki, Dirk; Hussinger, Katrin - 2004
This paper analyzes the effects of public R&D funding on R&D expenditure and patenting behavior of German firms. The main focus is the direct impact of subsidies on R&D and the indirect effect on innovation output measured by patent applications. We distinguish the productivity of purely...
