Identi cation of Outliers in a One-Way Random E ects Model

چکیده
We distinguish between three types of outliers in a one-way random e ects model. These are formally described in terms of their position relative to the main part of the observations. We propose simple rules for identifying such outliers and give an example which involves median-based statistics.

متن کاملIdentifying Causal Marketing-Mix E ects Using a Regression Discontinuity Design
We discuss how regression discontinuity designs arise naturally in settings where rms target marketing activity at consumers, and illustrate how this aspect may be exploited for econometric inference of causal e ects of marketing e ort. Our main insight is to use commonly observed discontinuities and kinks in the heuristics by which rms target such marketing activity to consumers for nonparamet...
متن کاملNonparametric Identication of a Binary Random Factor in Cross Section Data
Suppose V and U are two independent mean zero random variables, where V has an asymmetric distribution with two mass points and U has some zero odd moments (having a symmetric distribution su¢ ces). We show that the distributions of V and U are nonparametrically identi ed just from observing the sum V + U , and provide a rate root n estimator. This can permit point identi cation of average trea...
متن کاملIdentication of Average Random Coe¢ cients under Magnitude and Sign Restrictions on Confounding
This paper studies measuring the average e¤ects of X on Y in a structural system with random coe¢ cients and confounding. We do not require (conditionally) exogenous regressors or instruments. Using proxies W for the confounders U , we ask how do the average direct e¤ects of U on Y compare in magnitude and sign to those of U on W . Exogeneity and equior proportional confounding are limit case...
متن کاملIdentifying Structural E¤ects in Nonseparable Systems Using Covariates
This paper demonstrates the extensive scope of an alternative to standard instrumental variables methods, namely covariate-based methods, for identifying and estimating e¤ects of interest in general structural systems. As we show, commonly used econometric methods, speci cally parametric, semi-parametric, and nonparametric extremum or moment-based methods, can all exploit covariates to estimate...
