Bunching estimation of elasticities using Stata
نویسندگان
چکیده
Typical censoring models have mass points at the upper or lower tails, both of an otherwise continuous outcome distribution. In contrast, we consider a model with point in interior We refer to this as “bunching” and use it estimate parameters. For example, economic theory suggests that, for increasing marginal income tax rates, many taxpayers will report exactly threshold where rate increases. This translates into bunching threshold. The size can be used elasticity parameter that summarizes taxpayers’ responses taxes. article, introduce command bunching, which implements new nonparametric semiparametric identification methods estimating elasticities developed by Bertanha, McCallum, Seegert (2021, Technical Report 2021-002, Board Governors Federal Reserve System). These rely on weaker assumptions than what are currently made literature result meaningfully different estimates elasticity.

Censored Quantile Instrumental Variable Estimation with Stata
Many applications involve a censored dependent variable and an endogenous independent variable. Chernozhukov et al. (2015) introduced a censored quantile instrumental variable estimator (CQIV) for use in those applications, which has been applied by Kowalski (2016), among others. In this article, we introduce a Stata command, cqiv, that simplifes application of the CQIV estimator in Stata. We s...

In the literature on energy economics, estimating and analyzing price elasticities of energy demand is one of the important issues in examining the effectiveness of pricing modalities for energy conservatin and environmental policy follow-up. In this regard, low price elasticities of energy demand will increase the need for non-price policies to change consumer behavior and stimulate energy sav...
متن کاملDistribution-Free Estimation of Heteroskedastic Binary Response Models in Stata
This paper considers two recently proposed semiparametric estimators for distribution-free binary response models under a conditional median restriction. It shows that these estimators can be implemented in Stata using nl through simple modifications to the nonlinear least squares probit criterion function. We then introduce dfbr, a new Stata command which implements these estimators, and provi...
