Margins of Multinational Labor Substitution

Muendler, Marc-Andreas; Becker, Sascha O. - CESifo - 2006

Multinational labor demand responds to wage differentials at the extensive margin, when a multinational enterprise (MNE) expands into foreign locations, and at the intensive margin, when an MNE operates existing affiliates across locations. We derive conditions for parametric and nonparametric...

Individual Heterogeneity, Nonlinear Budget Sets, and Taxable Income

Blomquist, Sören; Kumar, Anil; Liang, Che-Yuan; Newey, … - CESifo - 2015

Many studies have estimated the effect of taxes on taxable income. To account for nonlinear taxes these studies either use instrumental variables approaches that are not fully consistent, or impose strong functional form assumptions. None allow for general heterogeneity in preferences. In this...

Generalized Propensity Scores for Multiple Continuous Treatment Variables

Egger, Peter; Ehrlich, Maximilian Von - CESifo - 2013

This paper illustrates that the generalized propensity score method can easily be applied with multiple continuous endogenous treatment variables. Consistency proofs carry over straightforwardly to this general case, and the approach is shown to work well in finite samples with various...

Spurious Weather Effects

Lind, Jo Thori - 2015

Rainfall is a truly exogeneous variable and hence popular as an instrument for many outcomes. But by its very nature, rainfall in nearby areas tends to be correlated. I show theoretically that if there are also spatial trends in outcomes of interest, this may create spurious correlation. In...

Personality Traits and the Evaluation of Start-Up Subsidies

Caliendo, Marco - 2016

. Evaluation studies of such programmes commonly rely on the conditional independence assumption (CIA), allowing a causal … success, these variables were neglected in evaluation studies so far due to data limitations. In this paper, we evaluate a new … administrative-survey data allows us to incorporate usually unobserved personality measures in the evaluation and investigate their …

The Effect of Additional Funds for Low-Ability Pupils - A Nonparametric Bounds Analysis

de Haan, Monique - 2021

This paper investigates the effect of a policy measure that gives secondary schools additional resources for low-ability pupils. Schools are free in deciding how to spend the additional money. I use a nonparametric bounds analysis to estimate upper and lower bounds on the effect of additional...

The Impact of Teacher Subject Knowledge on Student Achievement: Evidence from Within-Teacher Within-Student Variation

Metzler, Johannes; Woessmann, Ludger - CESifo - 2010

Teachers differ greatly in how much they teach their students, but little is known about which teacher attributes account for this. We estimate the causal effect of teacher subject knowledge on student achievement using within-teacher within-student variation, exploiting a unique Peruvian...
