Stochastic population analysis : a functional data approach

Fang, Lei; Härdle, Wolfgang - 2015

Based on the Lee-Carter (LC) model, the benchmark in population forecasting, a variety of extensions and modifications are proposed in this paper. We investigate one of the extensions, the Hyndman-Ullah (HU) method and apply it to Asian demographic data sets: China, Japan and Taiwan. It combines...

Chapter 75 The Econometrics of Data Combination

Ridder, Geert; Moffitt, Robert - In: Handbook of econometrics : volume 6B, (pp. 5469-5547). 2007

due to mismeasured variables. We consider sample merger by matching on identifiers that may be imperfect in the case that …

Microeconomic models with latent variables : applications of measurement error models in empirical industrial organization and labor economics

Hu, Yingyao - 2015

This paper reviews recent developments in nonparametric identi.cation of mea- surement error models and their applications in applied microeconomics, in particular, in empirical industrial organization and labor economics. Measurement error models describe mappings from a latent distribution to...

A nonparametric method for predicting survival probabilities

Klaauw, Bas van der; Vriend, Sandra - 2015

Public programs often use statistical profiling to assess the risk that applicants will become long-term dependent on the program. The literature uses linear probability models and (Cox) proportional hazard models to predict duration outcomes. These either focus on one threshold duration or...

Nonparametric IV Estimation of Local Average Treatment Effects with Covariates

Frölich, Markus - 2002

In this paper nonparametric instrumental variable estimation of local average treatment effects (LATE) is extended to incorporate confounding covariates. Estimation of local average treatment effects is appealing since their identification relies on much weaker assumptions than the...

What is the Value of Knowing the Propensity Score for Estimating Average Treatment Effects?

Frölich, Markus - 2002

Propensity score matching is widely used in treatment evaluation to estimate average treatment effects. Nevertheless …

A New Non-Parametric Matching Method for Bias Adjustment with Applications to Economic Evaluations

Sekhon, Jasjeet S.; Grieve, Richard - 2008

regression and propensity score matching are model dependent and often fail to replicate the results of randomized controlled … trials. We demonstrate a new non-parametric matching method, Genetic Matching, which is a generalization of propensity score … and Mahalanobis distance matching (Sekhon forthcoming), using two contrasting case studies. In the first, an economic …
