Non-Parametric Inference for the Effect of a Treatment on Survival Times with Application in the Health and Social Sciences

DeLuna, Xavier - 2009

In this paper we perform inference on the effect of a treatment on survival times in studies where the treatment assignment is not randomized and the assignment time is not known in advance. Two such studies are discussed: a heart transplant program and a study of Swedish unemployed eligible for...

Regime and Treatment Effects in Duration Models : Decomposing Expectation and Transplant Effects on the Kidney Waitlist

Kastoryano, Stephen - 2022

This paper proposes a causal decomposition framework for settings in which an initial regime randomization influences the timing of a treatment duration. The initial randomization and treatment affect in turn a duration outcome of interest. Our empirical application considers the survival of...

Removing Financial Barriers to Organ and Bone Marrow Donation : The Effect of Leave and Tax Legislation in the U.S

Lacetera, Nicola - 2013

In an attempt to alleviate the shortfall in organs and bone marrow available for transplants, many U.S. states passed legislation providing leave to organ and bone marrow donors and/or tax benefits for live and deceased organ and bone marrow donations and to employers of donors. We exploit...

A Field Study of Donor Behaviour in the Iranian Kidney Market

Moghaddasi Kelishomi, Ali; Sgroi, Daniel - 2022

Iran has the world's only government-regulated kidney market. We report the results of the first field study of donor behaviour in this unusual market. Participants have lower risk tolerance and higher patience levels than the Iranian average but display no difference in rationality from...

Efficiency-Morality Trade-Offs in Repugnant Transactions : A Choice Experiment

Elias, Julio - 2016

Societies prohibit many transactions considered morally repugnant, although potentially efficiency-enhancing. We conducted an online choice experiment to characterize preferences for the morality and efficiency of payments to kidney donors. Preferences were heterogeneous, ranging from...

Equilibrium Simulation with Microeconometric Models : A New Procedure with an Application to Income Support Policies

Colombino, Ugo - 2012

-time jobs). The most common use of these models is the simulation of tax-transfer reforms. The simulation is usually interpreted … simulation procedure, however, typically keeps fixed the estimated alternative-specific constants. In this note we argue that …-specific constants leads to the development of a simulation procedure consistent with the comparative statics interpretation. The …

Endogeneous Household Interaction

Del Boca, Daniela - 2009

Most econometric models of intrahousehold behavior assume that household decision-making is efficient, i.e., utility realizations lie on the Pareto frontier. In this paper we investigate this claim by adding a number of participation constraints to the household allocation problem. Short-run...
