Interactions in fixed effects regression models

M Giesselmann… - Sociological Methods & …, 2022 - journals.sagepub.com
An interaction in a fixed effects (FE) regression is usually specified by demeaning the
product term. However, algebraic transformations reveal that this strategy does not yield a …

The effects of birth inputs on birthweight: evidence from quantile estimation on panel data

J Abrevaya, CM Dahl - Journal of Business & Economic Statistics, 2008 - Taylor & Francis
Unobserved heterogeneity among childbearing women makes it difficult to isolate the causal
effects of smoking and prenatal care on birth outcomes (such as birthweight). Whether a …

Estimating conditional average treatment effects

J Abrevaya, YC Hsu, RP Lieli - Journal of Business & Economic …, 2015 - Taylor & Francis
We consider a functional parameter called the conditional average treatment effect (CATE),
designed to capture the heterogeneity of a treatment effect across subpopulations when the …

Selection into identification in fixed effects models, with application to Head Start

DL Miller, N Shenhav, M Grosz - Journal of Human Resources, 2023 - jhr.uwpress.org
Many papers use fixed effects (FE) to identify causal impacts. We document that when
treatment status only varies within some FE groups (for example, families, for family fixed …

Effect or treatment heterogeneity? Policy evaluation with aggregated and disaggregated treatments

P Heiler, M Knaus - 2022 - JSTOR
The analysis of causal effects is at the heart of empirical research in economics, political
science, the biomedical sciences, and beyond. To evaluate and design policies …

Nonlinear panel data estimation via quantile regressions

M Arellano, S Bonhomme - 2016 - academic.oup.com
We introduce a class of quantile regression estimators for short panels. Our framework
covers static and dynamic autoregressive models, models with general predetermined …

Identifying distributional characteristics in random coefficients panel data models

M Arellano, S Bonhomme - The Review of Economic Studies, 2012 - academic.oup.com
We study the identification of panel models with linear individual-specific coefficients when T
is fixed. We show identification of the variance of the effects under conditional …

Nonparametric estimation of causal heterogeneity under high-dimensional confounding

M Zimmert, M Lechner - arXiv preprint arXiv:1908.08779, 2019 - arxiv.org
This paper considers the practically important case of nonparametrically estimating
heterogeneous average treatment effects that vary with a limited number of discrete and …

Doubly robust uniform confidence band for the conditional average treatment effect function

S Lee, R Okui, YJ Whang - Journal of Applied Econometrics, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
In this paper, we propose a doubly robust method to estimate the heterogeneity of the
average treatment effect with respect to observed covariates of interest. We consider a …
