We consider fixed-effects binary choice models with a fixed number of periods T and regressors without a large support. If the time-varying unobserved terms are i.i.d. with known distribution F, Chamberlain (2010) shows that the common slope parameter is point identified if and only if F is...

Since the late 90s, Regression Discontinuity (RD) designs have been widely used to estimate Local Average Treatment Effects (LATE). When the running variable is observed with continuous measurement error, identification fails. Assuming non-differential measurement error, we propose a consistent...

In this paper, we provide evidence that compensatory education policies that target schools in socially deprived areas are likely to create a negative signal resulting in a sorting effect. We investigate this effect by analyzing the French "Réseaux ambition réussite" (RAR) program, which...
