Bias may even remain when units are sampled from a larger population of infnite size. This paper uses a combination … of simulated and actual examples to show that, as a practical matter, bias tends to be negligible when the sample size is …

A new matching method is proposed for the estimation of the average treatment effect of social policy interventions (e.g., training programs or health care measures). Given an outcome variable, a treatment and a set of pre-treatment covariates, the method is based on the examination of random...

We show how using censored regressors leads to expansion bias, or estimated effects that are proportionally too large …. We show the necessity of this effect in bivariate regression and illustrate the bias using results for normal regressors …. We study the bias when there is a censored regressor among many regressors, and we note how censoring can work to undo …

We use spline interpolation to approximate the subjective cumulative distribution function of an economic agent over the future realization of a continuous (possibly censored) random variable. The method proposed exploits information collected using a small number of probability questions on...

This paper analyses optimal treatment allocation of experimental units to treatment and control group. 'Optimal' means that the allocation of treatments should balance covariates across treatment and control group in a way that minimizes the variance of the treatment estimator in a given linear...
