When people can self-insure via migration, they may have less need for informal risk
sharing. At the same time, informal insurance may reduce the need to migrate. To …

In this paper, we explore optimal treatment allocation policies that target distributional
welfare. Most literature on treatment choice has considered utilitarian welfare based on the …

This thesis is a collection of three essays on causal inference. Chapter 1 considers the
problem of constructing confidence intervals or bands for the quantiles of treatment effects …

We propose a new method for estimating nonseparable selection models. We show that,
given the selection rule and the observed selected outcome distribution, the potential …

The non-identifiability of the competing risks model requires researchers to work with
restrictions on the model to obtain informative results. We present a new identifiability …

The non-identifiability of the competing risks model precludes informative results and
requires the applied researcher to impose restrictions on the model. Inspired by the heavy …

We derive sharp bounds on the non consumption utility component in an extended Roy
model of sector selection. We interpret this non consumption utility component as a …

We present a new framework for the identification of competing risks models, which also
include Roy models. We show that by establishing a Hicksian-type decomposition, the …

The paper generalizes ideas presented on bounds of treatment effects (Manski (1990)) to
bounding the joint distribution of treatment outcomes. Frechet-Hoeffding bounds are sharp …
