Stochastic population analysis : a functional data approach
Fang, Lei; Härdle, Wolfgang - 2015
Based on the Lee-Carter (LC) model, the benchmark in population forecasting, a variety of extensions and modifications are proposed in this paper. We investigate one of the extensions, the Hyndman-Ullah (HU) method and apply it to Asian demographic data sets: China, Japan and Taiwan. It combines...

A nonparametric method for predicting survival probabilities
Klaauw, Bas van der; Vriend, Sandra - 2015
Public programs often use statistical profiling to assess the risk that applicants will become long-term dependent on the program. The literature uses linear probability models and (Cox) proportional hazard models to predict duration outcomes. These either focus on one threshold duration or...

Microeconomic models with latent variables : applications of measurement error models in empirical industrial organization and labor economics
Hu, Yingyao - 2015
This paper reviews recent developments in nonparametric identi.cation of mea- surement error models and their applications in applied microeconomics, in particular, in empirical industrial organization and labor economics. Measurement error models describe mappings from a latent distribution to...

What is the value of knowing the propensity score of estimating average treatment effects
Frölich, Markus - 2002
Propensity score matching is widely used in treatment evaluation to estimate average treatment effects. Nevertheless …

Nonparametric IV estimation of local average treatment effects with covariates
Frölich, Markus - 2002
In this paper nonparametric instrumental variable estimation of local average treatment effects (LATE) is extended to incorporate confounding covariates. Estimation of local average treatment effects is appealing since their identification relies on much weaker assumptions than the...

A Note on the Relation of Weighting and Matching Estimators
Lechner, Michael - 2007
This paper compares the inverse-probability-of-selection-weighting estimation principle with the matching principle and … derives conditions for weighting and matching to identify the same and the true distribution, respectively. This comparison …
