Efficient minimum distance estimation of Pareto exponent from top income shar...
We propose an efficient estimation method for the income Pareto exponent when only certain top income shares are observable. Our estimator is based on the asymptotic theory of... -
Early child development and parents' labor supply (replication data)
The impact of children's early development status on parental labor market outcomes is not well established in the empirical literature. We combine an instrumental variable... -
The shale revolution and shifting crude dynamics (replication data)

Measuring crisis risk using conditional copulas: An empirical analysis of the...
The shipping crisis starting in 2008 was characterized by sharply decreasing freight rates and sharply increasing financing costs. We analyze the dependence structure of these... -
Do contractionary monetary policy shocks expand shadow banking? (replication ...
Using VAR models for the USA, we find that a contractionary monetary policy shock has a persistent negative impact on the level of commercial bank assets, but increases the... -
Multivariate choices and identification of social interactions (replication d...
This paper considers the identification of social interaction effects in the context of multivariate choices. First, we generalize the theoretical social interaction model to... -
Transitions at Different Moments in Time: A Spatial Probit Approach (replicat...
This paper adopts a spatial probit approach to explain interaction effects among cross-sectional units when the dependent variable takes the form of a binary response variable... -
The response of prices, sales, and output to temporary changes in demand (rep...
We determine empirically how automakers accommodate shocks to demand. Using data on production, sales, and transaction prices, we estimate a dynamic profit maximization model of... -
