Identifying 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 کاملIdentication-Robust Subvector Inference
This paper introduces identi cation-robust subvector tests and con dence sets (CSs) that have asymptotic size equal to their nominal size and are asymptotically e¢ cient under strong identi cation. Hence, inference is as good asymptotically as standard methods under standard regularity conditions, but also is identi cation robust. The results do not require special structure on the models unde...
متن کاملIdentication Robust Inference in Cointegrating Regressions
In cointegrating regressions, available estimators and test statistics are nuisance parameter dependent. This paper addresses this problem as an identi cation failure. We focus on set estimation of long-run coe¢ cients (denoted ). We check whether and to what degree popular estimation methods, speci cally the Maximum Likelihood of Johansen (1995), Fully Modi ed OLS [Phillips and Hansen (1990); ...
متن کاملMaximum likelihood estimation and uniform inference with sporadic identification failure
This paper analyzes the properties of a class of estimators, tests, and con dence sets (CSs) when the parameters are not identi ed in parts of the parameter space. Speci cally, we consider estimator criterion functions that are sample averages and are smooth functions of a parameter : This includes log likelihood, quasi-log likelihood, and least squares criterion functions. We determine the as...
