Estimating Incentive and Selection Effects in the Medigap Insurance Market: A...
This paper presents an empirical study of endogenous treatment effects in the presence of heterogeneous responses. We estimate the incentive and selection effects of having... -
Replacing Sample Trimming with Boundary Correction in Nonparametric Estimatio...
Two-step nonparametric estimators have become standard in empirical auctions. A drawback concerns boundary effects which cause inconsistencies near the endpoints of the support... -
Simple Identification and Specification of Cointegrated Varma Models (replica...
We bring together some recent advances in the literature on vector autoregressive moving-average models, creating a simple specification and estimation strategy for the... -
Missing in Asynchronicity: A Kalman-em Approach for Multivariate Realized Cov...
Motivated by the need for a positive-semidefinite estimator of multivariate realized covariance matrices, we model noisy and asynchronous ultra-high-frequency asset prices in a... -
Identification and Estimation of Engel Curves with Endogenous and Unobserved ...
When dealing with the estimation of Engel curves, measurement errors in expenditure data and simultaneity are likely sources of endogeneity. In this paper we study...
