Researchers are often interested in estimating the causal effect of some treatment on individual criminality. For example, two recent relatively prominent papers have attempted to estimate the respective direct effects of marriage and gang participation on individual criminal activity. One...

The presence of cross-sectionally correlated error terms invalidates much inferential theory of panel data models … for stationary panel regressions with multifactor error structure. This paper extends this work and examines the important … to a wide variety of data generation processes and has lower biases than all of the alternative estimation methods …

We consider estimation of a dynamic distribution regression panel data model with heterogeneous coefficients across … uniformly valid inference on function-valued objects. This avoids coefficient re-estimation and is shown to be consistent for a … workers. Finally, we demonstrate the existence of heterogeneity in income mobility, which leads to substantial variation in …

We investigate the finite sample performance of causal machine learning estimators for heterogeneous causal effects at different aggregation levels. We employ an Empirical Monte Carlo Study that relies on arguably realistic data generation processes (DGPs) based on actual data. We consider 24...

A substantial and rapidly growing literature has developed around estimating earnings gains from two-year college degrees using administrative data. These papers almost universally employ a person-level fixed effects strategy to estimate earnings premia net of fixed attributes. We note that the...
