Globalization and automation might imply deep changes on the labour market. An important policy issue is whether and how the tax-transfer rules should be reformed to cope with those changes. While the prevailing response has consisted of more sophisticated designs of mean-testing and targeting,...

This study involved conducting a survival analysis by fitting a Cox proportional hazards model to Korea Labor Panel data to analyze the impact of parental job loss on children's delayed admission to colleges and universities in South Korea, using 376 subjects whose parental education levels were...

This paper formulates and estimates a rigorously-justified linear probability model of binary choices over alternatives characterized by unobserved attributes. The model is applied to estimate preferences of congressmen as expressed in their votes on bills. The effective dimension of the...

Full suppression strategies remain the dominant option in wildfire management, despite a large body of research demonstrating the ecological and economic benefits of allowing unplanned wildfires to burn under favorable conditions. Consequently, empirical research identifying and understanding...

We propose new difference-in-difference (DID) estimators for treatments continuously distributed at every time period, as is often the case of trade tariffs, or temperatures. We start by assuming that the data only has two time periods. We also assume that from period one to two, the treatment...

I propose a method for estimating treatment effect heterogeneity in event studies with staggered adoption. This method serves as an alternative to two-way fixed effects regressions, which have been shown to be near-term biased in these settings. I build on insights from the machine learning (ML)...

This paper considers the evaluation of the average treatment effect of a binary endogenous regressor on a binary outcome when one imposes a threshold crossing model on both the endogenous regressor and the outcome variable but without imposing parametric functional form or distributional...
