Research methods

We continue to make advances in developing models and methods to study the dynamic behaviour of individuals and firms, the structure of the education, labour and marriage markets, and their implications for policy design and evaluation.

Inference after Estimation of Breaks

Working Paper

In an important class of econometric problems, researchers select a target parameter by maximizing the Euclidean norm of a data-dependent vector.

Working Paper

Uncertainty about the choice of identifying assumptions is common in causal studies, but is often ignored in empirical practice.

Network and Panel Quantile Effects Via Distribution Regression

Working Paper

This paper provides a method to construct simultaneous confidence bands for quantile functions and quantile effects in nonlinear network and panel models with unobserved two-way effects, strictly exogenous covariates, and possibly discrete outcome variables.

The powerful combination of cross-country comparisons and life-history data

Journal article

In this paper we discuss the value of international comparative empirical studies within the broad field of the economics of ageing. We argue the value is particularly great when such comparative research is based on long life-history data on participants, collected using large-scale autobiographical life-history methods.

Finite Sample Inference for the Maximum Score Estimand

Working Paper

We provide a finite sample inference method for the structural parameters of a semiparametric binary response model under a conditional median restriction originally studied by Manski (1975, 1985).

An Adaptive Test of Stochastic Monotonicity

Working Paper

We propose a new nonparametric test of stochastic monotonicity which adapts to the unknown smoothness of the conditional distribution of interest, possesses desirable asymptotic properties, is conceptually easy to implement, and computationally attractive.
