A more credible approach to parallel trends

A Rambachan, J Roth - Review of Economic Studies, 2023 - academic.oup.com
This paper proposes tools for robust inference in difference-in-differences and event-study
designs where the parallel trends assumption may be violated. Instead of requiring that …

[PDF][PDF] An honest approach to parallel trends

A Rambachan, J Roth - Unpublished manuscript, Harvard …, 2019 - jonathandroth.com
This paper proposes tools for robust inference for difference-in-differences and eventstudy
designs. Instead of requiring that the parallel trends assumption holds exactly, we impose …

Simple adaptive size-exact testing for full-vector and subvector inference in moment inequality models

G Cox, X Shi - The Review of Economic Studies, 2023 - academic.oup.com
We propose a simple test for moment inequalities that has exact size in normal models with
known variance and has uniformly asymptotically exact size under asymptotic normality. The …

Salvaging falsified instrumental variable models

MA Masten, A Poirier - Econometrica, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
What should researchers do when their baseline model is falsified? We recommend
reporting the set of parameters that are consistent with minimally nonfalsified models. We …

Inference for linear conditional moment inequalities

I Andrews, J Roth, A Pakes - Review of Economic Studies, 2023 - academic.oup.com
We show that moment inequalities in a wide variety of economic applications have a
particular linear conditional structure. We use this structure to construct uniformly valid …

Inference on estimators defined by mathematical programming

YW Hsieh, X Shi, M Shum - Journal of Econometrics, 2022 - Elsevier
We propose an inference procedure for a class of estimators defined as the solutions to
linear and convex quadratic programming problems in which the coefficients in both the …

A User's guide for inference in models defined by moment inequalities

IA Canay, G Illanes, A Velez - Journal of Econometrics, 2023 - Elsevier
Abstract Models defined by moment inequalities have become a standard modeling
framework for empirical economists, spreading over a wide range of fields within economics …

Model-agnostic covariate-assisted inference on partially identified causal effects

W Ji, L Lei, A Spector - arXiv preprint arXiv:2310.08115, 2023 - arxiv.org
Many causal estimands are only partially identifiable since they depend on the
unobservable joint distribution between potential outcomes. Stratification on pretreatment …

Generalized lee bounds

V Semenova - arXiv preprint arXiv:2008.12720, 2020 - arxiv.org
Lee (2009) is a common approach to bound the average causal effect in the presence of
selection bias, assuming the treatment effect on selection has the same sign for all subjects …

Moment inequalities and partial identification in industrial organization

B Kline, A Pakes, E Tamer - Handbook of Industrial Organization, 2021 - Elsevier
We review approaches to identification and inference on models in Industrial Organization
with partial identification and/or moment inequalities. Often, such approaches are …
