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...

Parametric and Semi-parametric Estimations of the Return to Schooling in South Africa

Bhalotra, Sonia; Sanhueza, Claudia - Econometric Society - 2004

semiparametric estimates of the sample selection model for the case of return to schooling. The parametric estimator is the one … proposed by Heckman (1979) and the semiparametric estimator proposed by Newey (1991) and Klein and Spady (1993). It also … variables increases the return to schooling substantially. Parametric corrections does not change the results but semiparametric …

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...

Effects of age at school entry (ASE) on the development of non-cognitive skills: Evidence from psychometric data

Mühlenweg, Andrea M.; Blomeyer, Dorothea; Laucht, Manfred - 2011

We identify effects of age at school entry (ASE) on the development of child temperament. Our analysis is based on psychometric measures from a longitudinal cohort study of children in the Rhine-Neckar region in central Germany. In children with a higher ASE due to a birthday late in the year,...

Charters Without Lotteries: Testing Takeovers in New Orleans and Boston

Abdulkadiroğlu, Atila; Angrist, Joshua; Hull, Peter D.; … - 2015

Lottery estimates suggest oversubscribed urban charter schools boost student achievement markedly. But these estimates needn't capture treatment effects for students who haven't applied to charter schools or for students attending charters for which demand is weak. This paper reports estimates...

Regional discontinuities and the effectiveness of further training subsidies for low-skilled employees

Dauth, Christine Martina - 2017

I analyze the effects of further training subsidies for low-skilled employees on individual labor market outcomes in Germany for the period from 2007 to 2012. Using detailed administrative data, I exploit cross-regional variation in the conditional policy styles of local employment agencies and...
