The Perils of Peer Effects
Angrist, Joshua - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2013
Individual outcomes are highly correlated with group average outcomes, a fact often interpreted as a causal peer effect. Without covariates, however, outcome-on-outcome peer effects are vacuous, either unity or, if the average is defined as leave-out, determined by a generic intraclass...

Identification of Local Treatment Effects Using a Proxy for an Instrument
Chalak, Karim - Department of Economics, Boston College - 2010
The method of indirect least squares (ILS) using a proxy for a discrete instrument is shown to identify a weighted average of local treatment effects. The weights are nonnegative if and only if the proxy is intensity preserving for the instrument. A similar result holds for instrumental...

The long-run effects of attending an elite school : evidence from the UK
Clark, Damon; Del Bono, Emilia - 2014
This paper estimates the impact of elite school attendance on long- run outcomes including completed education, income and fertility. Our data consists of individuals born in the 1950s and educated in a UK dis- trict that assigned students to either elite or non-elite secondary schools. Using...

Clark, Damon; Del Bono, Emilia - 2014
This paper estimates the impact of elite school attendance on long-run outcomes including completed education, income and fertility. Our data consists of individuals born in the 1950s and educated in a UK district that assigned students to either elite or non-elite secondary schools. Using...

Replication to assess statistical adequacy
Owen, Dorian - 2018
"Statistical adequacy" is an important prerequisite for securing reliable inference in empirical modelling. This paper argues for more emphasis on replication that specifically assesses whether the results reported in empirical studies are based on statistically adequate models, i.e., models...

The Econometrics of Antidotal Variables
Das, Tirthatanmoy; Polachek, Solomon - 2022
Some interventions or population attributes negate the effects of a treatment. This paper shows that incorporating these, what we call antidotal variables (AV), into a causal treatment effects analysis can with one cross-sectional regression identify the true causal effect, in addition to...

From Correlation to Granger Causality
Stern, David I. - Crawford School of Public Policy, Australian National … - 2011
analysis cannot establish causality in the absence of a priori theory on possible causal mechanisms or controlled and … randomized experiments. However, two regression based econometric techniques - instrumental variables and Granger causality - can … be used to test for causality given some assumptions. The Granger causality technique is applied to a time series data …
