Non-parametric bounds on quantiles under monotonicity assumptions: with an application to the Italian education returns
单调性假设下分位数的非参数界:意大利教育回报应用
Within the inferential context of predicting a distribution of potential outcomes P[y(t)] under a uniform treatment assignment t ∈ T, this paper deals with partial identification of the α-quantile of the distribution of interest Qα[y(t)] under relatively weak and credible monotonicity-type assumptions on the individual response functions and the population selection process. On the theoretical side, the paper adds to the existing results on non-parametric bounds on quantiles…
