Misspecified moment inequality models: Inference and diagnostics

DWK Andrews, S Kwon - Review of Economic Studies, 2024 - academic.oup.com
This paper is concerned with possible model misspecification in moment inequality models.
Two issues are addressed. First, standard tests and confidence sets for the true parameter in …

[PDF][PDF] Parenthood, Timing, and Gender Inequality

J Ilciukas - Unpublished Manuscript, University of Amsterdam, 2024 - juliusilciukas.nl
I introduce a method to bound the effects of parenthood on women's labor market outcomes
and gender inequality. The method simultaneously addresses selective fertility timing and …

Bounds on average effects in discrete choice panel data models

C Pakel, M Weidner - arXiv preprint arXiv:2309.09299, 2023 - arxiv.org
Average effects in discrete choice panel data models with individual-specific fixed effects are
generally only partially identified in short panels. While consistent estimation of the identified …

Price competition and endogenous product choice in networks: Evidence from the us airline industry

C Bontemps, C Gualdani, K Remmy - 2023 - econstor.eu
We develop a two-stage game in which competing airlines first choose the networks of
markets to serve in the first stage before competing in price in the second stage. Spillovers in …

[HTML][HTML] Heterogeneous treatment effect bounds under sample selection with an application to the effects of social media on political polarization

P Heiler - Journal of Econometrics, 2024 - Elsevier
We propose a method for estimation and inference for bounds for heterogeneous causal
effect parameters in general sample selection models where the treatment can affect …

A system approach to structural identification of production functions with multi-dimensional productivity

E Malikov, S Zhao, J Zhang - Essays in Honor of Subal Kumbhakar, 2024 - emerald.com
There is growing empirical evidence that firm heterogeneity is technologically non-neutral.
This chapter extends the Gandhi, Navarro, and Rivers (2020) proxy variable framework for …

[PDF][PDF] Inference on Union Bounds with Applications to DiD, RDD, Bunching, and Structural Counterfactuals

X Bei - 2023 - xinyuebei-econ.github.io
A union bound is a union of multiple bounds. Union bounds occur in a wide variety of
empirical settings, from relaxations of the difference-in-differences parallel trends …

[HTML][HTML] A simple specification test for models with many conditional moment inequalities

M Marcoux, TM Russell, Y Wan - Journal of Econometrics, 2024 - Elsevier
This paper proposes a simple specification test for partially identified models with a large or
possibly uncountably infinite number of conditional moment (in) equalities. The approach is …

Bounding treatment effects by pooling limited information across observations

S Lee, M Weidner - arXiv preprint arXiv:2111.05243, 2021 - arxiv.org
We provide novel bounds on average treatment effects (on the treated) that are valid under
an unconfoundedness assumption. Our bounds are designed to be robust in challenging …

Inferring Trade-Offs in University Admissions: Evidence from Cambridge

D Bhattacharya, J Shvets - Journal of Political Economy, 2024 - journals.uchicago.edu
How do elite universities balance diversity and academics during admissions? We develop
a theory-based empirical framework to identify and quantify this potential trade-off, using …
