Regression discontinuity design with continuous measurement error in the running variable

Davezies, Laurent; Le Barbanchon, Thomas - 2017

Since the late 90s, Regression Discontinuity (RD) designs have been widely used to estimate Local Average Treatment Effects (LATE). When the running variable is observed with continuous measurement error, identification fails. Assuming non-differential measurement error, we propose a consistent...

Determinants of ICT infrastructure : a cross-country statistical analysis

Krüger, Jens; Rhiel, Mathias - 2016

We investigate economic and institutional determinants of ICT infrastructure for a broad cross section ofmore than 100 countries. The ICT variable is constructed from a principal components analysis. The explanatory variables are selected by variants of the Lasso estimator from the machine...

Nonparametric kernel estimation of the impact of tax policy on the demand for private health insurance in Australia

Gong, Xiaodong; Gao, Jiti - 2015

This paper is motivated by our attempt to answer an empirical question: how is private health insurance take-up in Australia affected by the income threshold at which the Medicare Levy Surcharge (MLS) kicks in? We propose a new difference de-convolution kernel estimator for the location and size...

Policy discontinuity and duration outcomes

Berg, Gerard J. van den; Bozio, Antoine; Dias, Mónica Costa - 2015

Causal effects of a policy change on hazard rates of a duration outcome variable are not identified from a comparison of spells before and after the policy change, if there is unobserved heterogeneity in the effects and no model structure is imposed. We develop a discontinuity approach that...

Additive kernel estimates of returns to schooling

Ozabaci, Deniz; Henderson, Daniel J. - 2014

In this paper, we employ a partially linear nonparametric additive regression estimator, with recent U.S. Current Population Survey data, to analyze returns to schooling. Similar to previous research, we find that blacks and Hispanics have higher rates of return on average. However, for married...

More insecure and less paid? : the effect of perceived job insecurity on wage distribution

Scicchitano, Sergio; Biagetti, Marco; Chirumbolo, Antonio - 2018

This article employs a Counterfactual Decomposition Analysis (CDA) using both a semi-parametric and a non-parametric method to examine the pay gap, over the entire wage distribution, between secure and insecure workers on the basis of perceived job insecurity. Using the 2015 INAPP Survey on...

Non-parametric estimation of marginal propensities to consume : the case of regression splines

Jørgensen, Casper Nordal; Kuchler, Andreas - 2017

I papiret undersøges anvendeligheden af en ikke-parametrisk metode, en såkaldt regression spline, til estimation af …. This approach complements existing methods by relaxing a number of strong requirements on the part of the theory, otherwise … regression theory, the proposed method is somewhat data intensive. We use our proposed method to estimate the marginal propensity …
