Heterogeneity and Heteroskedasticity in Endogenous Switching Models: Estimating the Effects of Physician Advice on Calorie Consumption
内生转换模型中的异质性与异方差:医生建议对热量摄入的影响
ABSTRACT We describe two‐step control function estimation procedures for estimating average treatment effects in constant coefficient endogenous switching models with a binary treatment. We allow for additional heterogeneity by allowing for heteroskedasticity in the latent error in the treatment assignment equation. We apply our estimation procedures to evaluate the causal effect of physician advice on calorie consumption using National Health and Nutritional Examination…
