Measuring and correcting monotonicity bias : the case of school entrance age effects
Attar, Itay; Cohen-Zada, Danny; Elder, Todd E. - 2024
Instrumental variables estimators typically must satisfy monotonicity conditions to be interpretable as capturing local … average treatment effects. Building on previous research that suggests monotonicity is unlikely to hold in the context of … impact on monotonicity bias of bandwidth selection in regression discontinuity (RD) designs, finding that "full sample …

A comparison of two qantile models with endogeneity
Wüthrich, Kaspar - 2014
This paper analyzes estimators based on the instrumental variable quantile regression (IVQR) model (Chernozhukov and Hansen, 2004, 2005, 2006) under the local quantile treatment effects (LQTE) framework (Abadie et al., 2002). I show that the quantile treatment effect (QTE) estimators in the IVQR...

Identification and inference in regression discontinuity designs with a manipulated running variable
Gerard, François; Rokkanen, Miikka; Rothe, Christoph - 2015
A key assumption in regression discontinuity analysis is that units cannot manipulate the value of their running variable in a way that guarantees or avoids assignment to the treatment. Standard identification arguments break down if this condition is violated. This paper shows that treatment...

Estimation of standard errors and treatment effects in empirical economics—methods and applications
Hübler, Olaf - In: Journal for Labour Market Research 47 (2014) 1-2, pp. 43-62
This paper discusses methodological problems of standard errors and treatment effects. First, heteroskedasticity- and cluster-robust estimates are considered as well as problems with Bernoulli distributed regressors, outliers and partially identified parameters. Second, procedures to determine...

Instrumental variable estimation of the causal effect of hunger early in life on health later in life
van den Berg, Gerard J.; Pinger, Pia R.; Schoch, Johannes - 2012
Numerous studies have evaluated the effect of nutrition early in life on health much later in life by comparing individuals born during a famine to others. Nutritional intake is typically unobserved and endogenous, whereas famines arguably provide exogenous variation in the provision of...

Endogenous exit bias in training programs for unemployed workers
Kluve, Jochen; Rinne, Ulf; Uhlendorff, Arne; Zhao, Zhong - 2012
This paper assesses the importance of reverse causality when evaluating the impact of training duration for unemployed workers. We use planned duration as an instrumental variable for actual duration. Our results suggest that the potential endogeneity of exits seems to be only relevant in the...

From micro data to causality : forty years of empirical labor economics
Klaauw, Bas van der - 2014
This overview describes the development of methods for empirical research in the field of labor economics during the past four decades. This period is characterized by the use of micro data to answer policy relevant research question. Prominent in the literature is the search for exogenous...
