The heterogeneity of default costs: Evidence from recent sovereign debt crises
Jorra, Markus - 2011
This paper examines the costs of recent sovereign defaults using synthetic control methods, a novel econometric technique based on comparative case studies. Evidence on the effects of debt crises is thus presented on a case-by-case basis, uncovering large variations in country-specific...

Regional policy evaluation : interactive fixed effects and synthetic controls
Gobillon, Laurent; Magnac, Thierry - 2013
In this paper, we investigate the use of interactive effect or linear factor models in regional policy evaluation. We contrast treatment effect estimates obtained by Bai (2009)'s least squares method with the popular difference in difference estimates as well as with estimates obtained using...
