Doctor Who? The Effect of Physician-Patient Match on The SES-Health Gradient

Kristiansen, Ida Lykke; Sheng, Yanying - 2022

We investigate whether primary care physician and patient concordance in terms of socio-economic status (SES) reduces the SES inequality in health. We measure physicians' SES by their childhood SES and find that SES concordance decreases low-SES patients' mortality, while high-SES patients'...

Understanding Unobserved Propensities of Suicide in the United States : A Hierarchial Model with Spatially Correlated Random Effects

Sung, Jaesang - 2017

This paper investigates the underlying causes of suicide. In contrast to previous literature, we use data from the United States at the county level. Our primary methodology is a two-level Bayesian hierarchical model with spatially correlated random effects. Our results show that the significant...

Consumption smoothing at retirement : average and quantile treatment effects in the regression discontinuity design

Burkhard, Daniel - 2015

Abstract Standard economic models predict that individuals smooth consumption over the life cycle. In contrast, there exists controversial empirical evidence showing that consumption declines at retirement. This paper investigates whether there is evidence for this so-called Retirement...

A comparison of two qantile models with endogeneity

Wüthrich, Kaspar - 2014

This paper analyzes estimators based on the instrumental variable quantile regression (IVQR) model (Chernozhukov and Hansen, 2004, 2005, 2006) under the local quantile treatment effects (LQTE) framework (Abadie et al., 2002). I show that the quantile treatment effect (QTE) estimators in the IVQR...

Quantile treatment effects and bootstrap inference under covariate‐adaptive randomization

Zhang, Yichong; Zheng, Xin - In: Quantitative economics : QE ; journal of the … 11 (2020) 3, pp. 957-982

In this paper, we study the estimation and inference of the quantile treatment effect under covariate‐adaptive randomization. We propose two estimation methods: (1) the simple quantile regression and (2) the inverse propensity score weighted quantile regression. For the two estimators, we...

Synthetic controls with imperfect pretreatment fit

Ferman, Bruno; Pinto, Cristine Campos de Xavier - In: Quantitative economics : QE ; journal of the … 12 (2021) 4, pp. 1197-1221

We analyze the properties of the Synthetic Control (SC) and related estimators when the pre‐treatment fit is imperfect. In this framework, we show that these estimators are generally biased if treatment assignment is correlated with unobserved confounders, even when the number of...

Misappropriation of R&D Subsidies: estimating treatment effects with one-sided noncompliance

Boeing, Philipp; Peters, Bettina - 2021

In evaluating the effectiveness of R&D subsidies, the literature has focused on potential crowding out effects, while the possibility of misappropriation of public funds that results from moral hazard behavior has been completely neglected. This study develops a theoretical framework with which...

Identification of causal intensive margin effects by difference-in-difference methods

Hersche, Markus; Moor, Elias - 2018

This paper discusses identification of causal intensive margin effects. The causal intensive margin effect is defined as the treatment effect on the outcome of individuals with a positive outcome irrespective of whether they are treated or not (always-takers or participants). A potential...
