Policy Discontinuity and Duration Outcomes

den Berg, Gerard J. van; Bozio, Antoine; Costa Dias, Monica - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2014

Causal effects of a policy change on hazard rates of a duration outcome variable are not identified from a comparison … identification of average treatment effects on hazard rates without model structure. We estimate these effects by kernel hazard … regression. In effect, we merge duration analysis and discontinuity analysis. We use the introduction of the NDYP program for …

Robust Confidence Intervals for Average Treatment Effects under Limited Overlap

Rothe, Christoph - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2015

Estimators of average treatment effects under unconfounded treatment assignment are known to become rather imprecise if there is limited overlap in the covariate distributions between the treatment groups. But such limited overlap can also have a detrimental effect on inference, and lead for...
