Bayesian treatment effects models with variable selection for panel outcomes with an application to earnings effects of maternity leave
Jacobi, Liana; Wagner, Helga; Frühwirth-Schnatter, Sylvia - 2014
Child birth leads to a break in a woman's employment history and is considered one reason for the relatively poor labor market outcomes observed for women compared to men. However, the time spent at home after child birth varies significantly across mothers and is likely driven by observed and,...

Dealing with imperfect randomization : inference for the Highscope Perry Preschool Program
Heckman, James J.; Pinto, Rodrigo; Shaikh, Azeem M. - 2023
This paper considers the problem of making inferences about the effects of a program on multiple outcomes when the assignment of treatment status is imperfectly randomized. By imperfect randomization we mean that treatment status is reassigned after an initial randomization on the basis of...

How important are mental and physical health in career and family choices?
Cozzi, Guido; Mantovan, Noemi; Sauer, Robert M. - 2024

Testing the correlated random coefficient model
Heckman, James J.; Schmierer, Daniel; Urzua, Sergio - 2009
The recent literature on instrumental variables (IV) features models in which agents sort into treatment status on the basis of gains from treatment as well as on baseline-pretreatment levels. Components of the gains known to the agents and acted on by them may not be known by the observing...
