Farbmacher, Helmut; Tauchmann, Harald - 2021

This paper demonstrates that popular linear fixed-effects panel-data estimators are biased andinconsistent when applied in a discrete-time hazard setting - that is, one in which the outcomevariable is a binary dummy indicating an absorbing state, even if the data-generating process isfully...

We revisit the finite-sample behavior of just-identified instrumental variables (IV) estimators, arguing that in most microeconometric applications, just-identified IV bias is negligible and the usual inference strategies likely reliable. Three widely-cited applications are used to explain why...
