Policy evaluation of waste pricing programs using heterogeneous causal effect estimation
Valente, Marica - 2021
Using machine learning methods in a quasi-experimental setting, I study the heterogeneous effects of introducing waste prices - unit prices on household unsorted waste disposal - on waste demands and social welfare. First, using a unique panel of Italian municipalities with large variation in...

Direct and indirect effects under sample selection and outcome attrition
Huber, Martin; Solovyeva, Anna - In: Econometrics : open access journal 8 (2020) 4/44, pp. 1-25
This paper extends the evaluation of direct and indirect treatment effects, i.e., mediation analysis, to the case that outcomes are only partially observed due to sample selection or outcome attrition. We assume sequential conditional independence of the treatment and the mediator, i.e., the...

Nonparametric Estimation of Price Elasticities : A Heterogeneous Treatment Effect Approach
Wang, Jingbo - 2020
We revisit the classical problem of price elasticity estimation from a causal perspective. When the price is perceived … as a continuous but endogenous treatment, the flexible estimation of price elasticity can be turned into the estimation … endogeneity when estimating heterogeneous treatment effects. This strategy works by breaking the estimation of price elasticity …

Application of a Simple Nonparametric Conditional Quantile Function Estimator in Unemployment Duration Analysis
Wichert, Laura; Wilke, Ralf A. - 2008
We consider an extension of conventional univariate Kaplan-Meier type estimators for the hazard rate and the survivor function to multivariate censored data with a censored random regressor. It is an Akritas (1994) type estimator which adapts the nonparametric conditional hazard rate estimator...

Semiparametric Estimation of Consumption Based Equivalence Scales - the Case of Germany
Wilke, Ralf A. - 2008
Consumption based equivalence scales are estimated by applying the extended partially linear model (EPLM) to the 1998 Income and Consumption Survey (EVS) carried out in Germany. In this model the equivalence scales are identified by virtue of nonlinearities in household demand. Therefore, the...
