前沿处配置：前沿结构函数识别与平均偏离界限AI 解读

This paper analyzes a model in which an outcome equals a frontier function of inputs minus a nonnegative unobserved deviation. The inputs may be endogenous (statistically dependent on the deviation). If zero lies in the support of the deviation given the inputs -- an assumption we term assignment at the frontier -- then the frontier is identified by the supremum of the outcome given those inputs, obviating the need for instruments. We then consider estimation with random…

允许同期收入冲击相依的收入过程识别AI 解读

This paper proposes a novel approach for identifying coefficients in an earnings dynamics model with arbitrarily dependent contemporaneous income shocks. Traditional methods relying on second moments fail to identify these coefficients, emphasizing the need for nongaussianity assumptions that capture information from higher moments. Our results contribute to the literature on earnings dynamics by allowing models of earnings to have, for example, the permanent income shock of…
