Structural Equations , Treatment Effects , and Econometric Policy Evaluation
This paper uses the marginal treatment effect (MTE) to unify the nonparametric literature on treatment effects with the econometric literature on structural estimation using a nonparametric analog of a policy invariant parameter; to generate a variety of treatment effects from a common semiparametric functional form; to organize the literature on alternative estimators; and to explore what poli...
متن کاملWeb-based tools for policy evaluation1
Current research in e-democracy has so far focused on the early stages of political decision making. Informationand communication technology (ICT) has been shown to facilitate participation in agenda setting and alternative selection. But ICT also has the potential to facilitate evaluation of existing policies. This paper examines policy evaluation from local politicians view. What web-based to...
متن کاملPolicy-Relevant Treatment Effects
Accounting for individual-level heterogeneity in the response to treatment is a major development in the econometric literature on program evaluation. A substantial body of empirical evidence demonstrates that econometric models fit on individual-level data manifest heterogeneity in treatment effects that is present even after conditioning on observables. An important distinction is the one bet...
متن کاملLikelihood Ratio Tests in Reduced Rank Regression with Applications to Econometric Structural Equations
Likelihood ratio criteria are developed for hypotheses concerning multivariate regression matrices when reduced rank is assumed or equivalently hypotheses concerning linear restrictions on regression matrices. In an econometric simultaneous equation model a single restriction may be called a ”structural equation.” A model of reduced rank in statistics is often termed a ”linear functional relati...
