The Microeconometric Estimation of Treatment Effects - an Overview

Caliendo, Marco; Hujer, Reinhard - 2021

The need to evaluate the performance of active labour market policies is not questioned any longer. Even though OECD countries spend significant shares of national resources on these measures, unemployment rates remain high or even increase. We focus on microeconometric evaluation which has to...

Non-Parametric Tests for Firm Efficiency in Case of Errors-in-Variables

Kuosmanen, Timo; Post, Thierry - 2009

This paper develops a novel statistic for firm efficiency called efficiency depth that allows for statistical inference in case of errors-in-variables. We derive statistical tests that require minimal statistical assumptions; neither the sample distribution nor the noise level is required. An...

Optimal bandwidth selection for conditional efficiency measures : a data-driven approach

Bădin, Luiza; Daraio, Cinzia; Simar, Léopold - 2009 - Rev. version February 04, 2009

In productivity analysis an important issue is to detect how external (environmental) factors, exogenous to the production process and not under the control of the producer, might influence the production process and the resulting efficiency of the firms. Most of the traditional approaches...

Self-Selection in School Choice

Chen, Li - 2018

We study self-selection in centralized school choice, a strategy that takes place when students submit preferences before knowing their priorities at schools. A student self-selects if she decides not to apply to some schools despite being desirable. We give a theoretical explanation for this...

Adaptive Intelligent Behavior and Causal Entropy Maximization as a Basis for Microeconomic Information Recovery

Judge, George - 2014

In this paper we emphasize the connection between adaptive intelligent behavior, causal entropy maximization and self-organized equilibrium seeking behavior in an open dynamic micro economic systems. This entropy based causal adaptive behavior framework permits the use of information theoretic...

Linear and Non-Linear Granger Causality between Oil Spot and Futures Prices : A Wavelet Based Test

Alzahrani, Mohammed - 2014

This study is the first attempt to investigate both the linear and non-linear Granger causality between wavelet transformed spot and futures oil prices. Our findings consistently indicate bidirectional causality between the spot and futures oil markets at different time scales, under linear and...
