This paper considers the problem of making inferences about the effects of a program on multiple outcomes when the assignment of treatment status is imperfectly randomized. By imperfect randomization we mean that treatment status is reassigned after an initial randomization on the basis of...

Accounting for Nonresponse in Election Polls : Total Margin of Error

Dominitz, Jeff; Manski, Charles F. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024

reporting of polling error has focused solely on sampling error, represented by the margin of error of a poll. Survey … jointly measures sampling and non-sampling errors. Extending the conventional language of polling, we think it reasonable to … coincide, noting that the TME exceeds the margin of sampling error whenever the pollster has less than complete knowledge of …

Misspecification testing in a class of conditional distributional models

Rothe, Christoph; Wied, Dominik - 2012

We propose a specification test for a wide range of parametric models for the conditional distribution function of an outcome variable given a vector of covariates. The test is based on the Cramer-von Mises distance between an unrestricted estimate of the joint distribution function of the data,...

Hours worked and the U.S. distribution of real annual earnings 1976-2016

Fernández-Val, Iván; Peracchi, Franco; Vuuren, Aico van; … - 2020

We examine the impact of annual hours worked on annual earnings by decomposing changes in the real annual earnings distribution into composition, structural and hours effects. We do so via a nonseparable simultaneous model of hours, wages and earnings. We provide identification results and...
