部分工具变量单调性的检验AI 解读

When multi-dimensional instruments are used to identify and estimate causal effects, the monotonicity condition may not hold due to heterogeneity in the population. Under a partial monotonicity condition, which only requires the monotonicity to hold for each instrument separately holding all the other instruments fixed, the 2SLS estimand can still be a positively weighted average of LATEs. In this paper, we provide a simple nonparametric test for partial instrument…

m 阶逆随机占优的非参数检验AI 解读

This paper proposes a nonparametric test for $m$th-degree inverse stochastic dominance which is a powerful tool for ranking distribution functions according to social welfare. We construct the test based on empirical process theory. The test is shown to be asymptotically size controlled and consistent. The good finite sample properties of the test are illustrated via Monte Carlo simulations. We apply our test to the inequality growth in the United Kingdom from 1995 to 2010.
