Estimating Mis-reporting in Dyadic Data: Are Transfers Mutually Beneficial?

Comola, Margherita; Fafchamps, Marcel - 2014

Many studies have used self-reported dyadic data without exploiting the pattern of discordant answers. In this paper we propose a maximum likelihood estimator that deals with mis-reporting in a systematic way. We illustrate the methodology using dyadic data on inter-household transfers (gifts...

Canonical correlation and assortative matching: A remark

Dupuy, Arnaud; Galichon, Alfred - 2012

In the context of the Beckerian theory of marriage, when men and women match on a single-dimensional index that is the weighted sum of their respective multivariate attributes, many papers in the literature have used linear canonical correlation, and related techniques, in order to estimate...

Nonparametric IV Estimation of Local Average Treatment Effects with Covariates

Frölich, Markus - 2002

In this paper nonparametric instrumental variable estimation of local average treatment effects (LATE) is extended to incorporate confounding covariates. Estimation of local average treatment effects is appealing since their identification relies on much weaker assumptions than the...

A martingale representation for matching estimators

Abadie, Alberto; Imbens, Guido W. - 2009

Matching estimators are widely used in statistical data analysis. However, the distribution of matching estimators has … matching estimators. This representation allows the use of martingale limit theorems to derive the asymptotic distribution of … matching estimators. As an illustration of the applicability of the theory, we derive the asymptotic distribution of a matching …
