Regression discontinuity design with covariates
Frölich, Markus - 2007
In this paper, the regression discontinuity design (RDD) is generalized to account for differences in observed covariates X in a fully nonparametric way. It is shown that the treatment effect can be estimated at the rate for one-dimensional nonparametric regression irrespective of the dimension...

Exploiting regional treatment intensity for the evaluation of labour market policies
Frölich, Markus; Lechner, Michael - 2006
We estimate the effects of active labour market policies (ALMP) on subsequent employment by nonparametric instrumental variables and matching estimators. Very informative administrative Swiss data with detailed regional information are combined with exogenous regional variation in programme...

Statistical Assistance for Programme Selection - For a Better Targeting of Active Labour Market Policies in Switzerland
Behncke, Stefanie; Frölich, Markus; Lechner, Michael - School of Economics and Political Science, Universität … - 2006
In this paper the motivation and various concepts of statistical systems for assisting case workers in assigning unemployed persons to active labour market programmes (ALMP) are examined and the particular implementation of such a statistical system in Switzerland, which was introduced in the...

Aktive Arbeitsmarktpolitik in Deutschland und der Schweiz - eine Gegenüberstellung
Behncke, Stefanie; Frölich, Markus; Lechner, Michael - School of Economics and Political Science, Universität … - 2006
The active labour market policies in Switzerland and Germany are compared. German and Swiss labour market policies have similar aims, instruments and experienced similar institutional reforms. In Switzerland, an informative administrative database for an evaluation of these policies was made...

Peer Effects and Textbooks in Primary Education: Evidence from Francophone Sub-Saharan Africa
Frölich, Markus; Michaelowa, Katharina - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2005
As opposed to many other school inputs, textbooks have frequently been demonstrated to significantly foster student achievement. Using the rich data set provided by the 'Program on the Analysis of Education Systems' (PASEC) for five francophone, sub-Saharan African countries, this paper goes...

Identification of Treatment Effects on the Treated with One-Sided Non-Compliance
Frölich, Markus; Melly, Blaise - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2008
Traditional instrumental variable estimators do not generally estimate effects for the treated population but for the unobserved population of compliers. They do identify effects for the treated when there is one-sided perfect non-compliance. However, this property is lost when covariates are...
