[fre] Un essai de mesure de la contribution des budgets des pays membres à la cohésion européenne . par Laurent Davezies . L'article présente un premier essai de mesure, sur la base d'une méthodologie commune, des transferts interrégionaux de revenus induits par les budgets de sept pays...

Since the late 90s, regression discontinuity designs have been widely used to estimate local treatment effects. When the running variable is observed with continuous errors, identification fails even if the dispersion of measurement errors is small. Assuming non-differential measurement errors,...

Cette thèse se compose de quatre travaux indépendants. Le premier concerne les modèles partiellement identifiés, c'est-à-dire des modèles dans lesquels la valeur du paramètre d’intérêt ne peut pas être déduite de la distribution des données et des hypothèses du modèle. Dans...

This papers shows how to simply compute one of the estimators proposed in Honoré and Kyriazidou (2000) as well as its variance. The method involves a simple reshaping of the original dataset that is then used in a weighted logistic regression with clustering. Such procedures are widely...

We consider endogenous attrition in panels where the probability of attrition may depend on current and past outcomes. We show that this probability is nonparametrically identified provided that instruments affecting the outcomes but not directly attrition, and whose distribution is identified,...

This paper evaluates the French RAR program (Réseaux Ambition Réussite or Ambition Success Networks), a junior high school program started in 2006 which intended to concentrate means and funds on well-chosen disadvantaged junior high schools. We use the criteria of eligibility to estimate a...

This study compares estimates of outpatient expenditure computed with different models. Our aim is to predict annual health expenditures. We use a French panel dataset over a six year period (2000-2006) for 7112 individuals. Our article is based on the estimations of five different models. The...

This paper considers the semiparametric identification of endogenousand exogenous peer effects in the linear-in-means model. We showthat this model is generically identified when at least three differentsizes of peer groups are observed in the sample at hand. While unnecessaryin general,...

A recurrent problem in economic studies based on survey data is to determine whether survey weights should be used or not. We show that weighted estimators are more robust than unweighted ones, but less accurate when unweighted estimators are consistent. In some circumstances, a compatibility...
