In this paper we perform inference on the effect of a treatment on survival times in studies where the treatment assignment is not randomized and the assignment time is not known in advance. Two such studies are discussed: a heart transplant program and a study of Swedish unemployed eligible for...

Estimators of average treatment effects under unconfounded treatment assignment are known to become rather imprecise if there is limited overlap in the covariate distributions between the treatment groups. But such limited overlap can also have a detrimental effect on inference, and lead for...

This paper studies inference in randomized controlled trials with covariate‐adaptive randomization when there are multiple treatments. More specifically, we study in this setting inference about the average effect of one or more treatments relative to other treatments or a control. As in...

This paper proposes a unified approach to derive sharp bounds on all conventional policy parameters when the instrumental variables (IVs) are potentially invalid. Using a Vine Copula approach, we propose a novel characterization of the identified sets for the marginal treatment effect (MTE) and...

The impact of scheduled releases of macroeconomic variables on the dynamics of financial markets has always attracted a great deal of academic attention in efforts to quantify market responses in terms of volatility and jumps. We investigate whether the occurrence of market reaction due to...

This paper provides a meta-analysis of 55 empirical studies estimating the employment effects of minimum wages in 15 industrial countries. It strongly confirms the notion that the effects of minimum wages are heterogeneous between countries. As possible sources of heterogeneity, it considers the...
