Related forms of match bias arise with respect to attributes … used as match criteria, but matched imperfectly. For example, an imperfect match on schooling creates bias that flattens …

This paper compares the quality and use of regulatory analysis accompanying economically significant regulations proposed by US executive branch agencies in 2008, 2009, and 2010. We find that the quality of regulatory analysis is generally low, but varies widely. Budget regulations, which define...

Meyer, Bruce D.; Mittag, Nikolas; Wu, Derek - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024
Large literatures have analyzed racial and ethnic disparities in economic outcomes and access to the safety net. For such analyses that rely on survey data, it is crucial that survey accuracy does not vary by race and ethnicity. Otherwise, the observed disparities may be confounded by...

Flood-Risk Climate Adaptation Gaps in US Cities : Large-Sample Evidence from Textual Analysis of Cities’ Financial Disclosures
Lu, Shirley; Nakhmurina, Anya - 2023
Adaptation by cities is critical in reducing the inevitable impact of climate change. Here we present the first large-sample evidence of cities' adaptation to elevated flood risk, a key consequence of climate change. We construct and analyze a new linguistic measure of adaptation extracted from...
