Maloney, William F.; Sarrias, Mauricio - 2014

Using detailed survey data on management practices, this paper uses recent advances in unconditional quantile analysis to study the changes in the within country distribution of management quality associated with country convergence to the managerial frontier. It then decomposes the contribution...

Immigrant heterogeneity and the earnings distribution in the United Kingdom and United States: New evidence from a panel data quantile regression analysis

Billger, Sherrilyn M.; Lamarche, Carlos - 2010

In this paper we use a relatively new panel data quantile regression technique to examine native-immigrant earnings differentials 1) throughout the conditional wage distribution, and 2) controlling for individual heterogeneity. No previous papers have simultaneously considered these factors. We...

Penalized Quantile Regression with Semiparametric Correlated Effects: Applications with Heterogeneous Preferences

Harding, Matthew; Lamarche, Carlos - 2013

This paper proposes new ℓ1-penalized quantile regression estimators for panel data, which explicitly allows for individual heterogeneity associated with covariates. We conduct Monte Carlo simulations to assess the small sample performance of the new estimators and provide comparisons of new...

Treatment Evaluation with Multiple Outcome Periods under Endogeneity and Attrition

Frölich, Markus; Huber, Martin - 2014

This paper develops a nonparametric methodology for treatment evaluation with multiple outcome periods under treatment endogeneity and missing outcomes. We use instrumental variables, pre-treatment characteristics, and short-term (or intermediate) outcomes to identify the average treatment...

Behavioral Responses and Welfare Reform: Evidence from a Randomized Experiment

Hartley, Robert Paul; Lamarche, Carlos - 2017

Recent studies have used a distributional analysis of welfare reform experiments suggesting that some individuals reduce hours in order to opt into welfare, an example of behavioral-induced participation. Using data on Connecticut's Jobs First experiment, we find no evidence of...
