Assessing the performance of matching algorithms when selection into treatmen...
This paper investigates the method of matching regarding two crucial implementation choices: the distance measure and the type of algorithm. We implement optimal full matching a... -
Panel data estimates of the production function and product and labor market ...
Consistent with two models of imperfect competition in the labor market-the efficient bargaining model and the monopsony model-we provide two extensions of a microeconomic... -
SEMI-PARAMETRIC ESTIMATION OF PROGRAM IMPACTS ON DISPERSION OF POTENTIAL WAGE...
We propose the use of instrumental variables and pairwise matching to identify the average treatment effect on variance in potential outcomes. We show that identifying and... -
Combining Matching and Nonparametric Instrumental Variable Estimation: Theory...
We show how instrumental variable and matching estimators can be combined in order to identify a broader array of treatment effects. Instrumental variable (IV) estimators are... -
Matching as non-parametric preprocessing for the estimation of equivalence sc...
Empirically analyzing household behavior usually relies on informal data preprocessing. That is, before the estimation, observations are preselected to obtain a sufficiently... -
The productivity effects of worker mobility between heterogeneous firms
We analyze the effect of worker inflows on establishments’ productivity, using German data. Previous studies for other countries have found positive effects of hiring workers...
