A Sharp Test for the Judge Leniency Design
Coulibaly, Mohamed; Hsu, Yu-Chin; Mourifié, Ismael; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024
We propose a new specification test to assess the validity of the judge leniency design. We characterize a set of sharp testable implications, which exploit all the relevant information in the observed data distribution to detect violations of the judge leniency design assumptions. The proposed...

A graphical approximation to generalization : definitions and diagrams
Martel García, Fernando; Wantchekon, Leonard - 2013
The fundamental problem of external validity is not to generalize from one experiment, so much as to experimentally test generalizable theories. That is, theories that explain the systematic variation of causal effects across contexts. Here we show how the graphical language of causal diagrams...

The Long-Run Causal Relationship between Transport Energy Consumption and GDP : Evidence from Heterogeneous Panel Methods Robust to Cross-Sectional Dependence
Liddle, Brant - 2014
This paper analyzes data from 107 countries, spanning 1971-2009, and grouped into three income-based panels to determine the direction and sign of panel long-run causality between transport energy consumption per capita and real GDP per capita. The methods employed address heterogeneity and (at...

Identification and estimation of distributional impacts of interventions using changes in inequality measures
Firpo, Sérgio Pinheiro - 2010
This paper presents semiparametric estimators of distributional impacts of interventions (treatment) when selection to the program is based on observable characteristics. Distributional impacts of a treatment are calculated as differences in inequality measures of the potential outcomes of...

On nonparametric identification of treatment effects in duration models
Johansson, Per-Olov; Lee, Myoung-jae - 2016
We show that the main nonparametric identification finding of Abbring and Van den Berg (2003b, Econometrica) for the effect of a timing-chosen treatment on an event duration of interest does not hold. The main problem is that the identification is based on the competing-risks identification...

Fiscal sustainability in the presence of structural breaks : does overconfidence on resource exports hurt government's ability to finance debt? ; evidence from Nigeria
Alhaji Jibrilla, Aliyu - In: Cogent economics & finance 4 (2016) 1, pp. 1-27
The sustainability of the Nigerian fiscal deficit along with the role of the dynamics of government revenues and spending in adjusting the size of the deficit is examined using annual data from 1961 to 2014. After allowing for structural breaks, the study finds evidence of a cointegration...

Estimating more precise treatment effects in natural and actual experiments
Duleep, Harriet Orcutt; Liu, Xingfei - 2016
The importance of using natural experiments and experimental data in economic research has long been recognized. Yet, it is only in recent years that these approaches have become an integral part of the economist's analytical toolbox, thanks to the efforts of Meyer, Card, Peters, Krueger,...
