Following in the footsteps of the Stata user-written command ivtreatreg, recently proposed by the author (Cerulli, 2012), the paper presents a new Stata routine— contreatreg—for estimating a Dose Response Treatment Model under continuous treatment endogeneity and heterogeneous...

Reweighting is a popular statistical technique to deal with inference in presence of a nonrandom sample. In the literature, various reweighting estimators have been proposed. This paper presents the author-written Stata routine treatrew, which implements the reweighting on the propensity-score...

In recent years, much interest has focused on network analysis. This study presents and applies to real data a new user-written Stata command called datanet, which facilitates the dataset organization for the purpose of network analysis. Given a fixed number of units (or nodes) belonging to the...

This paper presents an original econometric model for estimating a dose-response function through a regression approach when: (i) treatment is continuous, (ii) individuals may react heterogeneously to observable confounders, and (iii) selection-into-treatment may be potentially endogenous. After...

This presentation presents a parametric counterfactual model identifying average treatment effects (ATEs) by conditional mean independence when externality (or neighborhood) effects are incorporated within the traditional Rubin potential-outcome model. As such, it tries to generalize the usual...

This paper presents an original econometric model for estimating a Dose Response Function though a regression approach when treatment is continuous, individuals may react heterogeneously to observable confounders and selection-into-treatment may be (potentially) endogenous. After the description...

This paper studies at firm level the relation between managerial capacity in doing innovation and profitability. Moving along the intersection between the evolutionary/neo-Schumpeterian theory and the Resource-Based-View of the firm, we prove econometrically that managerial efficiency in...

This paper presents a comprehensive logical framework for designing ex-post evaluation of corporate R&D and innovation (RDI) policies, which logically connects: actors' behaviour, indicators, ex-post (counterfactual) evaluation and ex-ante prediction of firm (R&D) additionality potential. The...

This paper explores the impact of a specific R&D policy instrument, the Italian <roman>Fondo per le Agevolazioni della Ricerca</roman> (FAR), on industrial R&D and technological output at the firm level. Our objective is threefold: first, to identify the presence or absence of private R&D investment...
