Evaluating the dynamic employment effects of training programs in East Germany using conditional difference-in-differences
Bergemann, Annette; Fitzenberger, Bernd; Speckesser, Stefan - 2005
This study analyzes the employment effects of training in East Germany. We propose and apply an extension of the widely used conditional difference-in-differences evaluation method. Focusing on transition rates between nonemployment and employment we take into account that employment is a state...

Income vs. Consumption Inequality in South Korea: Evaluating Stochastic Dominance Rankings by Various Household Attributes
Heshmati, Almas; Rudolf, Robert - 2013
Using four rounds (1999, 2002, 2005, 2008) of the Korean Labor and Income Panel Study (KLIPS), this article examines determinants of household income and consumption levels and inequalities. Unconditional as well as conditional stochastic dominance (SD) tests are performed by year, by household...

When, where and how to perform efficiency estimation
Badunenko, Oleg; Henderson, Daniel J.; Kumbhakar, Subal C. - 2011
In this paper we compare two flexible estimators of technical efficiency in a cross-sectional setting: the nonparametric kernel SFA estimator of Fan, Li and Weersink (1996) to the nonparametric bias corrected DEA estimator of Kneip, Simar and Wilson (2008). We assess the finite sample...

Misspecification testing in a class of conditional distributional models
Rothe, Christoph; Wied, Dominik - 2012
We propose a specification test for a wide range of parametric models for the conditional distribution function of an … outcome variable given a vector of covariates. The test is based on the Cramer-von Mises distance between an unrestricted … an empirical application, we use our test to study the validity of various models for the conditional distribution of …

Searching for rehabilitation in nonparametric regression models with exogenous treatment assignment
Henderson, Daniel J.; Maasoumi, Esfandiar - 2012
This paper offers some new directions in the analysis of nonparamertric models with exogenous treatment assignment. The nonparametric approach opens the door to the examination of potentially different distributed outcomes. When combined with cross-validation, it also identifies potentially...
