Even though stock returns are not highly autocorrelated, there is a spurious regression bias in predictive regressions … variables interacts with spurious regression bias. The two effects reinforce each other, because more highly persistent series …

Tracking human activity in real time and at fine spatial scale is particularly valuable during episodes such as the COVID-19 pandemic. In this paper, we discuss the suitability of smartphone data for quantifying movement and social contact. We show that these data cover broad sections of the US...

regression discontinuity (RD) framework to applications where time is the running variable and treatment begins at a particular … threshold in time. In this guide for practitioners, we discuss several features of this “Regression Discontinuity in Time” (RDiT … framework closer to an event study than a regression discontinuity design. Based on these features and motivated by hypothetical …

We consider a linear panel event-study design in which unobserved confounds may be related both to the outcome and to the policy variable of interest. We provide sufficient conditions to identify the causal effect of the policy by exploiting covariates related to the policy only through the...

In structural dynamic discrete choice models, unobserved and mis-measured state variables may lead to biased parameter estimates and misleading inference. In this paper, we show that instrumental variables can address such measurement problems when they relate to state variables that evolve...
