Estimating nonseparable models with mismeasured endogenous variables

Song, Suyong; Schennach, Susanne M.; White, Halbert - In: Quantitative economics : QE ; journal of the … 6 (2015) 3, pp. 749-794

We study the identification and estimation of covariate-conditioned average marginal effects of endogenous regressors in nonseparable structural systems when the regressors are mismeasured. We control for the endogeneity by making use of covariates as control variables; this ensures conditional...

How Reliable are Household Expenditures as a Proxy for Permanent Income? Implications for the Income-Nutrition Relationship

Gibson, John; Kim, Bonggeun - Department of Economics, Waikato Management School - 2011

Measurement error in short-run expenditures from household surveys may attenuate estimated effects of permanent income on economic outcomes. Repeated observations on households during the year are used to calculate reliability ratios and estimate errors in variables regressions of the impact of...

Using Panel Data to Exactly Estimate Income Under-Reporting by the Self Employed

Kim, Bonggeun; Gibson, John; Chung, Chul - East Asian Bureau of Economic Research (EABER) - 2009

The income of the self-employed is often assumed to be understated in economic statistics. Controversy exists about the best method for estimating the extent of under-reporting and about the resulting measures of the size of the underground economy. This paper refines a method developed by...

Treatment effect estimation with covariate measurement error

Battistin, Erich; Chesher, Andrew - In: Journal of Econometrics 178 (2014) 2, pp. 707-715

This paper investigates the effect that covariate measurement error has on a treatment effect analysis built on an unconfoundedness restriction in which there is conditioning on error free covariates. The approach uses small parameter asymptotic methods to obtain the approximate effects of...

Counting Rotten Apples: Student Achievement and Score Manipulation in Italian Elementary Schools

Battistin, Erich; Nadai, Michele De; Vuri, Daniela - Istituto per la Ricerca Valutativa sulle Politiche …

We derive bounds for the average of math and language scores of elementary school students in Italy correcting for pervasive score manipulation. Information on the fraction of manipulated data is retrieved from a natural experiment that randomly assigns external monitors to schools. We show how...

Using Engel Curves to Measure CPI Bias for Indonesia

Olivia, Susan; Gibson, John - Department of Economics, Waikato Management School - 2012

bias for Indonesia is calculated by estimating food Engel curves for households with the same level of CPI-deflated incomes … at four different points in time between 1993 and 2008. The results suggest CPI bias was initially negative during the … Asian Crisis but has been positive since 2000. Over the entire period, CPI bias has averaged four percent annually …

How reliable are household expenditures as a proxy for permanent income? Implications for the income–nutrition relationship

Gibson, John; Kim, Bonggeun - In: Economics Letters 118 (2013) 1, pp. 23-25

Using short-run expenditures from household surveys as a proxy may create attenuated estimates of the impact of permanent income on economic outcomes. We use repeated observations to calculate reliability ratios and estimate errors in variables regressions of the impact of income on nutrition....
