Eren, Ozkan; Henderson, Daniel J. - 2011

examine the effect of homework on math, science, English and history test scores for eighth grade students in the United … States. Noting that failure to control for these effects yields selection biases on the estimated effect of homework, we find … that math homework has a large and statistically meaningful effect on math test scores throughout our sample. However …

Estimating and testing a quantile regression model with interactive effects

Harding, Matthew; Lamarche, Carlos - 2012

This paper proposes a quantile regression estimator for a panel data model with interactive effects potentially correlated with the independent variables. We provide conditions under which the slope parameter estimator is asymptotically Gaussian. Monte Carlo studies are carried out to...

Paloyo, Alfredo R.; Rogan, Sally; Siminski, Peter - 2016

While randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are the “gold standard” for impact evaluation, they face numerous practical barriers to implementation. In some circumstances, a randomized-encouragement design (RED) is a viable alternative, but applications are surprisingly rare. We discuss the...

Heckman, James J.; Pinto, Rodrigo - 2017

This paper presents a new monotonicity condition for unordered discrete choice models with multiple treatments. Unlike a less general version of monotonicity in binary and ordered choice models, monotonicity in unordered discrete choice models along with other standard assumptions does not...
