چکیده

This paper gathers the supplementary material to de Chaisemartin (2016). I show that one can estimate quantile treatment e ects in the comvivors subpopulation, that one can test the CD condition, and that my results extend to multivariate treatment and instrument, to fuzzy regression discontinuity designs, and to the bounds in Lee (2009) for survey nonresponse. ∗Department of Economics, University of Warwick, [email protected] 1 Testability and quantile treatment e ects. In this section, I show that random instrument, exclusion restriction, and CD have a testable implication. Then, I discuss how the testable implications of random instrument, exclusion restriction, and ND studied in Huber & Mellace (2012), Kitagawa (2013), and Mouri e & Wan (2014) relate to the CD condition. For any random variable R, let S(R) denote the support of R. Let Udz be a random variable uniformly distributed on [0, 1] denoting the rank of an observation in the distribution of Y |D = d, Z = z. If the distribution of Y |D = d, Z = z is continuous, Udz = FY |D=d,Z=z(Y ). If the distribution of Y |D = d, Z = z is discrete, one can randomly allocate a rank to tied observations by setting Udz = FY |D=d,Z=z(Y −) + V (FY |D=d,Z=z(Y )− FY |D=d,Z=z(Y −)), where V is uniformly distributed on [0, 1] and independent of (Y,D,Z), and Y − = sup{y ∈ S(Y |D = d, Z = z) : y < Y }. For every d ∈ {0, 1}, let pd = FS P (D=d|Z=d) . Notice that both p0 and p1 are included between 0 and 1. Finally, let L = E(Y |D = 1, Z = 1, U11 ≤ p1)− E(Y |D = 0, Z = 0, U00 ≥ 1− p0) L = E(Y |D = 1, Z = 1, U11 ≥ 1− p1)− E(Y |D = 0, Z = 0, U00 ≤ p0). Theorem S1 If Assumptions 1, 2, and 5 are satis ed, L ≤ W ≤ L. (29) The intuition of this result goes as follows. Under random instrument, exclusion restriction, and CD, E(Y1 − Y0|CV ) is point identi ed: following Theorem 2.1 in de Chaisemartin (2016), it is equal to W . It is also partially identi ed. CV is included in {D = 0, Z = 0}, and it accounts for p0% of this population. E(Y0|CV ) can therefore not be larger than the mean of Y0 of the p0% of this population with largest Y0. It can also not be smaller than the mean of Y0 of the p0% with lowest Y0 (see Horowitz & Manski, 1995 and Lee (2009)). Combining this with a similar reasoning for E(Y1|CV ) yields worst case bounds for E(Y1 − Y0|CV ), L and L. The estimand of E(Y1 − Y0|CV ) should lie within its bounds, hence the testable implication. To implement this test, one can use results from Andrews & Soares (2010). Let θ satisfy the two following moment inequality conditions: 0 ≤ E ( Y Z P (Z = 1) − Y (1− Z) P (Z = 0) − FS ( θ + Y DZ1{U11 ≤ p1} P (D = 1, Z = 1, U11 ≤ p1) − Y (1−D)(1− Z)1{U00 ≥ 1− p0} P (D = 0, Z = 0, U00 ≥ 1− p0) )) 0 ≤ E ( FS ( θ + Y DZ1{U11 ≥ 1− p1} P (D = 1, Z = 1, U11 ≥ 1− p1) − Y (1−D)(1− Z)1{U00 ≤ p0} P (D = 0, Z = 0, U00 ≤ p0) ) − ( Y Z P (Z = 1) − Y (1− Z) P (Z = 0) )) . This de nes a moment inequality model with preliminary estimated parameters. This model satis es all the technical conditions required in Andrews & Soares (2010) if E(|Y |) < +∞ Y − should be understood as −∞ if Y = inf{S(Y |D = d, Z = z)}.

A fuzzy approach to the evaluation of human factors in ultrasonic nondestructive examinations

Human factors are among the main elements affecting the reliability of nondestructive examinations (NDE). In a man-machine system, human reliability is affected by many factors (performance shaping factors) whose influence on reliability cannot be easily expressed quantitatively. This paper identifies and ranks 59 perform-ance shaping factors by using a fuzzy reasoning method and proposes a pro...

Tolerating de ance ? Local average treatment e ects without monotonicity . ∗

Instrumental variable (IV) estimates a causal e ect if the instrument satis es a monotonicity condition. When this condition is not satis ed, we only know that IV estimates the di erence between the e ect of the treatment in two groups. This di erence could be a very misleading measure of the treatment e ect: it could be negative, even when the e ect is positive in both groups. There are a larg...

Structural basis of peptide recognition by the angiotensin-1 converting enzyme homologue AnCE from Drosophila melanogaster

UNLABELLED Human somatic angiotensin-1 converting enzyme (ACE) is a zinc-dependent exopeptidase, that catalyses the conversion of the decapeptide angiotensin I to the octapeptide angiotensin II, by removing a C-terminal dipeptide. It is the principal component of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system that regulates blood pressure. Hence it is an important therapeutic target for the treatment...

Ance, a Drosophila angiotensin-converting enzyme homologue, is expressed in imaginal cells during metamorphosis and is regulated by the steroid, 20-hydroxyecdysone.

Ance is a single domain homologue of mammalian angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and is important for normal development and reproduction in Drosophila melanogaster. Mammalian ACE is responsible for the synthesis of angiotensin II and the inactivation of bradykinin and N -acetyl-Ser-Asp-Lys-Pro, but the absence of similar peptide hormones in insects suggests novel functions for Ance. We now p...

THE ROLE OF VARIOUS STABILIZERS IN THE ACQUISITION OF THERMO-TOLER ANCE IN FACTOR VIII ACTIVITY

We prepared a highly purified and relatively heat stable form of factor VIII which contained 25 units per mL (u/mL) activity using PEG-4000 and developed an effective and new manufacturing process. Heat treatment was performed at 80°C for 72 hrs in the presence of different stabilizers. In our studies, we used different organic solvents as preservatives to maintain factor VIII activity, sin...
