This paper is concerned with inference about an unidentified linear functional, L(g), where the function g satisfies the relation Y=g(x) + U; E(U/W) = 0. In this relation, Y is the dependent variable, X is a possibly endogenous explanatory variable, W is an instrument for X, and U is an...

In many applications of the differences-in-differences (DID) method, the treatment increases more in the treatment group, but some units are also treated in the control group. In such fuzzy designs, a popular estimator of treatment effects is the DID of the outcome divided by the DID of the...

This paper presents a method of calculating sharp bounds on the average treatment effect using linear programming under identifying assumptions commonly used in the literature. This new method provides a sensitivity analysis of the identifying assumptions and missing data in an application...

In this paper we study nonparametric estimation in a binary treatment model where the outcome equation is of unrestricted form, and the selection equation contains multiple unobservables that enter through a nonparametric random coefficients specification. This specification is flexible because...

This paper is concerned with inference about an unidentified linear function, L(g), where the function g satisfies the relation Y=g(X)+U; E(U |W)=0. In this relation, Y is the dependent variable, X is a possibly endogenous explanatory variable, W is an instrument for X and U is an unobserved...
