Duration dependence versus unobserved heterogeneity in treatment effects: Swedish labor market training and the transition rate to employment

Richardson, Katarina; van den Berg, Gerard J. - 2008

of this approach in our con-text by studying the enrollment process. We develop a model allowing for duration dependence … and unobserved heterogeneity (leading to spurious duration dependence) in the treatment effect itself, and we prove non … diminishes after some weeks. When taking account of the time spent in the program, the effect on the mean unemployment duration …

Controlling the danger of false discoveries in estimating multiple treatment effects

Wunderli, Dan - 2012

I expose the risk of false discoveries in the context of multiple treatment effects. A false discovery is a nonexistent effect that is falsely labeled as statistically significant by its individual t-value. Labeling nonexistent effects as statistically significant has wide-ranging academic and...

Treatment evaluation in the case of interactions within markets

Ferracci, Marc; Jolivet, Grégory; van den Berg, Gerard J. - 2010

We extend the standard evaluation framework to allow for interactions between individuals within segmented markets. An individual's outcome depends not only on the assigned treatment status but also on (features of) the distribution of treatments in his market. To evaluate how the distribution...

Survey Non-Response and Unemployment Duration

van den Berg, Gerard J.; Lindeboom, Maarten; Dolton, … - 2004

Social surveys are often used to estimate unemployment duration distributions. Survey nonresponse may then cause a bias … methodology exploits variation in the timing of the duration outcome relative to the survey moment. The results show evidence for …

Nonparametric tests of conditional treatment effects

Lee, Sokbae; Whang, Yoon-Jae - 2009

We develop a general class of nonparametric tests for treatment effects conditional on covariates. We consider a wide spectrum of null and alternative hypotheses regarding conditional treatment effects, including (i) the null hypothesis of the conditional stochastic dominance between treatment...
