测度线性表示模型中识别、计算与推断的对抗方法AI 解读

We develop a framework for identification, computation, and inference in econometric models with a linear-in-measures representation. These models express maintained restrictions as moment conditions linear in the joint probability measure of observed and latent inputs, and map that measure linearly to the distribution of outputs, even with nonlinear outcome equations. We construct an adversarial discrepancy function whose zeros characterize the identified set for structural…

短面板中随机系数矩的识别与估计AI 解读

We study identification and estimation of moments of random coefficients in short linear panels, allowing the number of heterogeneous coefficients to exceed the number of equations observed for each unit. Under moment homogeneity, different regressor histories impose restrictions on the same moment vector. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for these restrictions to identify moments of a given order, stated in terms of the row spaces generated by the regressor…

线性面板模型中相关随机系数的分布AI 解读

We consider a static linear panel model with both correlated and uncorrelated random coefficients, where the former can depend arbitrarily on observable regressors while the latter are independent of them. We provide sufficient conditions for identification of the distributions of the random coefficients without imposing restrictions on the time-series structure of the error terms in short panels. Our framework applies to regular and irregular designs. The distribution of…

基于反事实预测的处理效应估计AI 解读

We consider estimation and inference of the effects of a policy in the absence of an untreated or control group. We obtain unbiased estimators of individual (heterogeneous) treatment effects and a consistent and asymptotically normal estimator of the average treatment effect. Our estimator averages, across individuals, the difference between observed post-treatment outcomes and unbiased forecasts of their counterfactuals, based on a (short) time series of pre-treatment data.…

存在反馈的事件研究AI 解读

Event studies often conflate direct treatment effects with indirect effects operating through endogenous covariate adjustment. We develop a dynamic panel event study framework that separates these effects. The framework allows for persistent outcomes and treatment effects and for covariates that respond to past outcomes and treatment exposure. Under sequential exogeneity and homogeneous feedback, we establish point identification of common parameters governing outcome and…

事件研究中的时变异质性处理效应AI 解读

This paper examines the identification and estimation of heterogeneous treatment effects in event studies, emphasizing the importance of both lagged dependent variables and treatment effect heterogeneity. We show that omitting lagged dependent variables can induce omitted variable bias in the estimated time-varying treatment effects. We develop a novel semiparametric approach based on a short-T dynamic linear panel model with correlated random coefficients, where the…

识别问题的对抗式方法AI 解读

We introduce a new framework for characterizing identified sets of structural and counterfactual parameters in econometric models. By reformulating the identification problem as a set membership question, we leverage the separating hyperplane theorem in the space of observed probability measures to characterize the identified set through the zeros of a discrepancy function with an adversarial game interpretation. The set can be a singleton, resulting in point identification.…

非线性面板模型中时变反事实参数的识别AI 解读

We develop a general framework for the identification of counterfactual parameters in a class of nonlinear semiparametric panel models with fixed effects and time effects. Our method applies to models for discrete outcomes (e.g., two-way fixed effects binary choice) or continuous outcomes (e.g., censored regression), with discrete or continuous regressors. Our results do not require parametric assumptions on the error terms or time-homogeneity on the outcome equation. Our…
