This paper considers tests and confidence sets (CS s) concerning the coefficient on the endogenous variable in the linear IV regression model with homoskedastic normal errors and one right-hand side endogenous variable. The paper derives a finite-sample lower bound function for the probability...

This paper investigates the asymptotic properties of a simple empirical-likelihood-based inference method for discontinuity in density. The parameter of interest is a function of two one-sided limits of the probability density function at (possibly) two cut-off points. Our approach is based on...

Using 791 consistent households in the balanced panel, comprising 3,985 households in the unbalanced panel-from a nationally representative, multipurpose, five-round (1988, 2000, 2004, 2008, and 2014) Mahabub Hossain Panel Data in Bangladesh-we provide evidence for the long-term impact of...

We study accelerated failure time models in which the survivor function of the error term is log-concave. The log-concavity assumption is often implied by the underlying economic models and covers large families of commonly used distributions. For right-censored failure time data, we construct...

We study the effects of labor market policies using a bargaining model featuring compensating differentials (Rosen, 1986) and self-selection (Roy, 1951). The framework allows us to create a taxonomy of formal and informal employment. We use the model to estimate the effects of the minimum wage...

The celebrated Heckman selection model yields a selection correction function (control function) proportional to the inverse Mills ratio, which is monotone. This paper studies a sample selection model which does not impose parametric distributional assumptions on the latent error terms, while...
