New evidence on the finite sample properties of propensity score matching and reweighting estimators

Busso, Matias; DiNardo, John; McCrary, Justin - 2009

Currently available asymptotic results in the literature suggest that matching estimators have higher variance than reweighting estimators. The extant literature comparing the finite sample properties of matching to specific reweighting estimators, however, has concluded that reweighting...

Identification and estimation of distributional impacts of interventions using changes in inequality measures

Firpo, Sergio - 2010

This paper presents semiparametric estimators of distributional impacts of interventions (treatment) when selection to the program is based on observable characteristics. Distributional impacts of a treatment are calculated as differences in inequality measures of the potential outcomes of...

The Value of Knowing the Propensity Score for Estimating Average Treatment Effects

Rothe, Christoph - 2016

In a treatment effect model with unconfoundedness, treatment assignments are not only independent of potential outcomes given the covariates, but also given the propensity score alone. Despite this powerful dimension reduction property, adjusting for the propensity score is known to lead to an...

Why Has Science Become an Old Man's Game?

Fons-Rosen, Christian; Gaule, Patrick; Hrendash, Taras - 2023

We investigate the causes and consequences of the aging of the scientific workforce. Using novel data on the population of US chemistry faculty members over fifty years, we find that the secular increase in the age of the academic workforce has been mainly driven by the slowdown in faculty...
