Semiparametric Qualitative Response Model Estimation with Unknown Heteroskedasticity or Instrumental Variables
Lewbel, Arthur - Department of Economics, Boston College - 1999
This paper provides estimators of discrete choice models, including binary, ordered, and multinomial response (choice) models. The estimators closely resemble ordinary and two stage least squares. The distribution of the model's latent variable error is unknown and may be related to the...

Endogenous Selection Or Treatment Model Estimation
Lewbel, Arthur - Department of Economics, Boston College - 2000
In a sample selection or treatment effects model, common unobservables may affect both the outcome and the probability of selection in unknown ways. This paper shows that the distribution function of potential outcomes, conditional on covariates, can be identified given an observed variable V...

Research Design Meets Market Design: Using Centralized Assignment for Impact Evaluation
Abdulkadiroğlu, Atila; Angrist, Joshua; Narita, Yusuke; … - 2016
A growing number of school districts use centralized assignment mechanisms to allocate school seats in a manner that reflects student preferences and school priorities. Many of these assignment schemes use lotteries to ration seats when schools are oversubscribed. The resulting random assignment...

Persistence of the school entry age effect in a system of flexible tracking
Puhani, Patrick A.; Weber, Andrea Maria - 2007
In Germany, the streaming of students into an academic or nonacademic track at age 10 can be revised at later stages of secondary education. To investigate the importance of such revisions, we use administrative data on the student population in the German state of Hessen to measure the...
