内生异方差下的处理效应估计AI 解读

This paper considers a treatment effect model in which individual treatment effect may be heterogeneous, even among observationally identical individuals. Specifically, by extending the classical instrumental-variables (IV) model with an endogenous binary treatment, the heteroskedasticity of the error disturbance is allowed to vary with the treatment variable so that the treatment generates both mean and variance effect on the outcome. In this endogenous heteroskedasticity…

相关随机效应非线性面板模型中的偏效应AI 解读

Summary Nonlinearity and heterogeneity are known to cause difficulties in estimating and interpreting partial effects. This paper provides a systematic characterization of the various partial effects in nonlinear panel data models that might be of interest to empirical researchers. The interpretation of the partial effects depends upon (i) whether the distribution of unobserved heterogeneity is treated as fixed or allowed to vary with covariates, and (ii) whether one is…

具有固定效应的区间删失回归AI 解读

Summary This paper considers identification and estimation of a fixed‐effects model with an interval‐censored dependent variable. In each time period, the researcher observes the interval (with known endpoints) in which the dependent variable lies but not the value of the dependent variable itself. Two versions of the model are considered: a parametric model with logistic errors and a semiparametric model with errors having an unspecified distribution. In both cases, the…

固定效应模型中的因变量缺失AI 解读

This paper considers estimation of linear fixed-effects models in which the dependent variable may be missing. For cross-sectional units with dependent variables missing, use of covariate information from all time periods can provide efficiency gains relative to complete-data methods. A classical minimum distance (CMD) estimator based upon Chamberlain (1982, 1984), which is consistent under a missing-at-random (MAR) type assumption, is proposed for the static fixed-effects…

处理解释变量缺失的 GMM 方法AI 解读

Missing data are a common challenge facing empirical researchers. This paper presents a general GMM framework and estimator for dealing with missing values of an explanatory variable in linear regression analysis. The GMM estimator is efficient under assumptions needed for consistency of linear-imputation methods. The estimator, which also allows for a specification test of the missingness assumptions, is compared to existing linear imputation, complete data, and dummy…

条件平均处理效应的估计AI 解读

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 unconfoundedness assumption applies. In contrast to quantile regressions, the subpopulations of interest are defined in terms of the possible values of a set of continuous covariates rather than the quantiles of the potential outcome distributions. We show that the CATE parameter is…

条件平均处理效应的估计AI 解读

We consider a functional parameter called the conditional average treatment effect (CATE), designed to capture heterogeneity of a treatment effect across subpopulations when the unconfoundedness assumption applies. In contrast to quantile regressions, the subpopulations of interest are defined in terms of the possible values of a set of continuous covariates rather than the quantiles of the potential outcome distributions. We show that the CATE parameter is nonparametrically…

具有斜率异质性的删失面板数据模型估计AI 解读

SUMMARY This paper considers estimation of censored panel‐data models with individual‐specific slope heterogeneity. The slope heterogeneity may be random (random slopes model) or related to covariates (correlated random slopes model). Maximum likelihood and censored least‐absolute deviations estimators are proposed for both models. The estimators are simple to implement and, in the case of maximum likelihood, lead to straightforward estimation of partial effects. The…

部分线性指标模型的秩估计AI 解读

Summary We consider a generalized regression model with a partially linear index. The index contains an additive non-parametric component in addition to the standard linear component, and the model is characterized by an unknown monotone link function. We propose weighted rank estimation procedures for estimating (a) the coefficients for the linear component, (b) the non-parametric component (and its derivative) and (c) the average derivative for the non-parametric…

最大得分估计量的 BootstrapAI 解读

This paper shows that the bootstrap does not consistently estimate the asymptotic distribution of the maximum score estimator. The theory developed also applies to other estimators within a cube-root convergence class. For some single-parameter estimators in this class, the results suggest a simple method for inference based upon the bootstrap.

曲率度量与检验的非参数方法AI 解读

This article considers the problem of testing curvature (e.g., linearity, concavity, convexity) in a multivariate nonparametric regression model. A measure of curvature, called the simplex statistic, that does not require bandwidth choice and is easy to compute, is introduced. A global test of curvature based on the simplex statistic is also introduced. Localized versions of the test, which require smoothing parameters, are shown to be consistent against more general…

变换模型中的响应误差及其在收入方程估计中的应用AI 解读

This paper considers estimation of a transformation model in which the transformed dependent variable is subject to classical measurement error. We consider cases in which the transformation function is known and unspecified. In special cases (e.g. log and square-root transformations), least-squares or non-linear least-squares estimators are applicable. A flexible approximation approach (based on Taylor expansion) is proposed for a parametrized transformation function (like…

变换模型的成对差分秩估计AI 解读

coefficient vector in a transformation model. These estimators, like other existing rank estimators, require no subjective bandwidth choice. Monte Carlo simulations, numerical asymptotic efficiency comparisons, and two empirical applications suggest that the proposed estimators perform well in comparison with existing semiparametric estimators.

存在可观测截断时变换模型的秩估计AI 解读

This paper introduces rank estimators for a general transformation model with observable truncation points. The estimators, which are modified versions of the rank estimators of Han (1987) and Cavanagh and Sherman (1998), are asymptotically normal and require no bandwidth choice. Log-concavity of the error disturbance?s survival function is a sufficient condition for the associated monotonicity conditions. Monte Carlo simulations investigate the estimators? behavior for…
