Identifying Panel Conditioning with Refreshment Samples: Sharp Bounds and Design Assumptions
利用补充样本识别面板条件化:锐界与设计假设
Refreshment samples are the standard remedy for panel attrition, and the identification results behind them maintain that participation does not change measurement. We characterize what a refreshment sample identifies about panel conditioning, modelled as a deterministic monotone map at reinterview, when attrition is unrestricted. A candidate map is consistent with the data if and only if the retention-scaled distribution of the stayers' implied latent outcomes is setwise…
