It is well known that efficient estimation of average treatment effects can be obtained by the method of inverse … estimation to achieve the efficiency. We formalize this argument and further identify the source of the efficiency loss arising … from parametric estimation of the propensity score. We also provide an intuition of why this overfitting is necessary. Our …

We address the bias from using potential vs. actual experience in earnings models. Statistical tests reject the classical errors-in-variable framework. The nature of the measurement error is best viewed as a model misspecification problem. We correct for this by modeling actual experience as a...

East German wages have been below the West German wage level since unification. Moreover, the East-West wage gap implied by the contractual wages specified in collective wage agreements is drifting ever further apart from the wage gap in terms of effective wages. This paper looks at the role of...
