Chapter 19 - Econometric Methods for the Analysis of Assignment Problems in the Presence of Complementarity and Social Spillovers
نویسنده
چکیده
Concern over the distributional effects of policies which induce changes in peer group structure, or ‘associational redistributions’ (Durlauf, 1996c), motivates a substantial body of theoretical and empirical research in economics, sociology, psychology, and education. A growing collection of econometric methods for characterizing the effects of such policies are now available. This chapter surveys these methods. I discuss the identification and estimation of the distributional effects of partner reassignment in one-on-one matching models, the average outcome and inequality effects of segregation, and treatment response in the presence of spillovers.

متن کاملForeign Knowledge Spillovers and Total Factor Productivity Growth: Evidence from Four ASEAN Countries
This study examines the dynamic relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and total factor productivity having controlled for other channels of external openness: exports and imports in four ASEAN countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand. We employ the panel data analysis PDA (fixed effect and dynamic panel models) as well as the panel cointegration and Granger causali...
متن کاملImproved infeasible-interior-point algorithm for linear complementarity problems
We present a modified version of the infeasible-interior- We present a modified version of the infeasible-interior-point algorithm for monotone linear complementary problems introduced by Mansouri et al. (Nonlinear Anal. Real World Appl. 12(2011) 545--561). Each main step of the algorithm consists of a feasibility step and several centering steps. We use a different feasibility step, which tar...
متن کاملA Full-NT Step Infeasible Interior-Point Algorithm for Mixed Symmetric Cone LCPs
An infeasible interior-point algorithm for mixed symmetric cone linear complementarity problems is proposed. Using the machinery of Euclidean Jordan algebras and Nesterov-Todd search direction, the convergence analysis of the algorithm is shown and proved. Moreover, we obtain a polynomial time complexity bound which matches the currently best known iteration bound for infeasible interior-point ...
متن کاملComplementarity and Aggregate Implications of Assortative Matching: A Nonparametric Analysis∗
This paper presents methods for evaluating the effects of reallocating an indivisible input across production units. When production technology is nonseparable such reallocations, although leaving the marginal distribution of the reallocated input unchanged by construction, may nonetheless alter average output. Examples include reallocations of teachers across classrooms composed of students of...
