In this paper, we review the modern method-of-moment-based approaches to identification and estimation of linear simultaneous equation systems. First, we present the rank condition for the structural form (SF) parameter identification. The rank condition comes naturally and is much easier to...

Ross Perot was a relatively viable third party candidate in the 1992 US presidential election, but he was not any more in the 1996 election. This provides a good opportunity to analyze strategic voting behavior?voting for a candidate not most preferred by the voter?in the US presidential...

In estimating the effect of an ordered treatment τ on a count response y with an observational data where τ is self-selected (not randomized), observed variables x and unobserved variables ϵ can be unbalanced across the control group (τ = 0) and the treatment groups (τ = 1, …, J). While...

For a binary treatment "ν"=0, 1 and the corresponding 'potential response'"Y"-super-0 for the control group ("ν"=0) and "Y"-super-1 for the treatment group ("ν"=1), one definition of no treatment effect is that "Y"-super-0 and "Y"-super-1 follow the same distribution given a covariate...
