Qual VAR Revisited: Good Forecast, Bad Story
El-Shagi, Makram; von Schweinitz, Gregor - 2012
Due to the recent financial crisis, the interest in econometric models that allow to incorporate binary variables (such as the occurrence of a crisis) experienced a huge surge. This paper evaluates the performance of the Qual VAR, i.e. a VAR model including a latent variable that governs the...

Modeling the Effects of Grade Retention in High School
Baert, Stijn; Cockx, Bart; Picchio, Matteo - 2015
A dynamic discrete choice model is set up to estimate the effects of grade retention in high school, both in the short- (end-of-year evaluation) and long-run (drop-out and delay). In contrast to regression discontinuity designs, this approach captures treatment heterogeneity and controls for...

Modeling the Effects of Grade Retention in High School
Cockx, Bart; Picchio, Matteo; Baert, Stijn - 2017
A dynamic discrete choice model is set up to estimate the effects of grade retention in high school, both in the short-run (end-of-year evaluation) and in the long-run (drop-out and delay). In contrast to other evaluation approaches, this model captures essential treatment heterogeneity and...
