What differences a day can make : quantile regression estimates of the distribution of daily learning gains
Hayes, Michael S.; Gershenson, Seth - 2015
Recent research exploits a variety of natural experiments that create exogenous variation in annual school days to estimate the average effect of formal schooling on students' academic achievement. However, the extant literature's focus on average effects masks potentially important variation in...

Estimating and testing a quantile regression model with interactive effects
Harding, Matthew; Lamarche, Carlos - 2012
This paper proposes a quantile regression estimator for a panel data model with interactive effects potentially correlated with the independent variables. We provide conditions under which the slope parameter estimator is asymptotically Gaussian. Monte Carlo studies are carried out to...

Average gaps and Oaxaca-Blinder decompositions : a cautionary tale about regression estimates of racial differences in labor market outcomes
Słoczyński, Tymon - 2018
In this paper I demonstrate, both theoretically and empirically, that the interpretation of regression estimates of between-group differences in economic outcomes depends on the relative sizes of subpopulations under study. When the disadvantaged group is small, regression estimates are similar...

Estimating the Effect of Adolescent Fertility on Educational Attainment in Cape Town Using a Propensity Score Weighted Regression
Ranchhod, Vimal; Lam, David A.; Leibbrandt, Murray; … - 2011
We estimate the effect of a teenage birth on the educational attainment of young mothers in Cape Town, South Africa. Longitudinal and retrospective data on youth from the CAPS dataset are used. We control for a number of early life and pre-fertility characteristics. We also re-weight our data...

Robust Bma Analysis with Gini Regressions : An Application to PISA Scores
Dimiski, Anastasia; Kourtellos, Andros; Stengos, Thanasis - 2023
We revisit the relationship between pre-primary education and achievement test scores in the primary school, by employing a Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) approach combined with Gini regression estimates. The data are taken from the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) for...

Democracy and international trade : differential effects from a panel quantile regression framework
Abeliansky, Ana; Krenz, Astrid - 2015
There has been a wide debate on whether democracy actually has an effect on economic outcomes, and especially on … variables estimation. Our results demonstrate that the effect of democracy on trade is underestimated using Ordinary Least … (1996) which suggest that the effects of democracy for economic growth are not uniform for all countries. …
