Mostly harmless simulations? : on the internal validity of empirical Monte Carlo studies
Advani, Arun; Kitagawa, Toru; Słoczyński, Tymon - 2018 - This version: September 21, 2018
Currently there is little practical advice on which treatment effect estimator to use when trying to adjust for observable differences. A recent suggestion is to compare the performance of estimators in simulations that somehow mimic the empirical context. Two ways to run such "empirical Monte...

Lockdowns Lifting : Thanks to Governments COVID-19 Measures or to Good Weather? What Does Data Say?
Maoude, Kassimou Abdoul Haki - 2020
This paper investigates the effects of climate and governments' responses on the spread of the COVID-19. Our strategy is empirical. Our model is based on an accounting equation derived from the SIR model, and estimates the relationship between the growth of the daily COVID-19 confirmed cases on...
