Estimation of average treatment effects under unconfoundedness or exogenous treatment assignment is often hampered by lack of overlap in the covariate distributions. This lack of overlap can lead to imprecise estimates and can make commonly used estimators sensitive to the choice of...

This chapter reviews the microeconometrics literature on partial identification, focusing on the developments of the last thirty years. The topics presented illustrate that the available data combined with credible maintained assumptions may yield much information about a parameter of interest,...

Estimation of average treatment effects under unconfoundedness or exogenous treatment assignment is often hampered by lack of overlap in the covariate distributions. This lack of overlap can lead to imprecise estimates and can make commonly used estimators sensitive to the choice of...

We propose new difference-in-difference (DID) estimators for treatments continuously distributed at every time period, as is often the case of trade tariffs, or temperatures. We start by assuming that the data only has two time periods. We also assume that from period one to two, the treatment...

In this article, the length-biased power hazard rate distribution has introduced and investi-gated several statistical properties. This distribution reports an extension of several prob-ability distributions, namely: exponential, Rayleigh, Weibull, and linear hazard rate. Theprocedure of maximum...
