Assessing the performance of matching algorithms when selection into treatment is strong

Augurzky, Boris; Kluve, Jochen - 2004

This paper investigates the method of matching regarding two crucial implementation choices, the distance measure and … the type of algorithm.We implement optimal full matching – a fully efficient algorithm – and present a framework for … that decisions regarding the matching algorithm depend on the structure of the data: In the case of strong selection into …

Parametrizing Nonparametric Translog Models : A Goal Programming/Constrained Regression Study of U.S. Manufacturing

Ziari, Houshmand; Azzam, Azzeddine - 1999

This paper demonstrates how Goal Programming/Constrained Regression can be used for cross-checking results from standard econometric models as well as a stand alone methodology in empirical production analysis. For illustration, we re-examine Berndt and Wood's (BW) seminal study of the U.S....

Dynamic semi-parametric factor model for functional expectiles

Burdejová, Petra; Härdle, Wolfgang - 2017

High-frequency data can provide us with a quantity of informa- tion for forecasting, help to calculate and prevent the future risk based on extremes. This tail behaviour is very often driven by ex- ogenous components and may be modelled conditional on other vari- ables. However, many of these...

Citizen coproduction and efficient public good provision : theory and evidence from local public libraries

De Witte, Kristof; Geys, Benny - 2012

In both public administration and economics, efficiency is brought forward as an important criterion for evaluating administrative actions. Clearly, its value as an assessment principle depends on our ability to adequately measure efficiency. This article argues that citizen's coproduction in...

Large Dimensional Time-Varying GMM Estimation : A New Approach

Cui, Liyuan; Hong, Yongmiao; Wang, Junhui - 2021

We develop a novel machine learning method to estimate large dimensional time-varying GMM models via our newly designed ridge fusion regularization scheme. Our method is a one-step procedure and allows for abrupt, smooth and dual type time variation with a fast rate of convergence. It...

Long-run effects of dynamically assigned treatments : a new methodology and an evaluation of training effects on earnings

Berg, Gerard J. van den; Vikström, Johan - 2019

We propose and implement a new method to estimate treatment effects in settings where individuals need to be in a certain state (e.g. unemployment) to be eligible for a treatment, treatments may commence at different points in time, and the outcome of interest is realized after the individual...
