Analysis of interactive fixed effects dynamic linear panel regression with measurement error
Nayoung Lee, Hyungsik Roger Moon, Martin Weidner
This paper studies a simple dynamic linear panel regression model with interactive fixed effects in which the variable of interest is measured with error. To estimate the dynamic c…
Long-term Health and Human Capital Effects of Early-Life Economic Conditions
Ruijun Hou, Samuel Baker, Stephanie von Hinke +3
We study the long-term health and human capital impacts of local economic conditions experienced during the first 1,000 days of life. We combine historical data on monthly unemploy…
Reasoning in machine vision by learning fast and slow thinking
Shaheer U. Saeed, Yipei Wang, Veeru Kasivisvanathan +4
Reasoning is a hallmark of human intelligence, enabling adaptive decision-making in complex unfamiliar scenarios. In contrast, machine intelligence remains bound to training data,…
Axion-photon-mixing dark matter conversion mediated by torsion mass constrained by the Barbero-Immirzi parameter
Zhi-Fu Gao, Luiz C. Garcia de Andrade
In the Standard Model\,(SM) of particle physics, photon-torsion mixing is extended to include the Einstein-Cartan portal to dark-photon-axion-torsion mixing beyond the Standard Mod…
Beyond Barker: Infant Mortality at Birth and Ischaemic Heart Disease in Older Age
Samuel Baker, Pietro Biroli, Hans van Kippersluis +1
Adverse conditions in early life can have consequential impacts on individuals' health in older age. In one of the first papers on this topic, Barker and Osmond 1986 show a strong…
Gene-Environment Interplay in the Social Sciences
Rita Dias Pereira, Pietro Biroli, Titus Galama +4
Nature (one's genes) and nurture (one's environment) jointly contribute to the formation and evolution of health and human capital over the life cycle. This complex interplay betwe…
The Long-Term Effects of Early-Life Pollution Exposure: Evidence from the London Smog
Stephanie von Hinke, Emil N. Sørensen
This paper uses a large UK cohort to investigate the impact of early-life pollution exposure on individuals' human capital and health outcomes in older age. We compare individuals…
Sparse HP Filter: Finding Kinks in the COVID-19 Contact Rate
Sokbae Lee, Yuan Liao, Myung Hwan Seo +1
In this paper, we estimate the time-varying COVID-19 contact rate of a Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) model. Our measurement of the contact rate is constructed using data on…
Econometric Models of Network Formation
Aureo de Paula
This article provides a selective review on the recent literature on econometric models of network formation. The survey starts with a brief exposition on basic concepts and tools…
Identifying Network Ties from Panel Data: Theory and an Application to Tax Competition
Aureo de Paula, Imran Rasul, Pedro Souza
Social interactions determine many economic behaviors, but information on social ties does not exist in most publicly available and widely used datasets. We present results on the…
Desperate times call for desperate measures: government spending multipliers in hard times
Sokbae Lee, Yuan Liao, Myung Hwan Seo +1
We investigate state-dependent effects of fiscal multipliers and allow for endogenous sample splitting to determine whether the US economy is in a slack state. When the endogenized…
Minimizing Sensitivity to Model Misspecification
Stéphane Bonhomme, Martin Weidner
We propose a framework for estimation and inference when the model may be misspecified. We rely on a local asymptotic approach where the degree of misspecification is indexed by th…
Gaia Data Release 1. Open cluster astrometry: performance, limitations, and future prospects
Gaia Collaboration, F. van Leeuwen, A. Vallenari +589
Context. The first Gaia Data Release contains the Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution (TGAS). This is a subset of about 2 million stars for which, besides the position and photometry,…
Optimal Data Collection for Randomized Control Trials
Pedro Carneiro, Sokbae Lee, Daniel Wilhelm
In a randomized control trial, the precision of an average treatment effect estimator can be improved either by collecting data on additional individuals, or by collecting addition…
Oracle Estimation of a Change Point in High Dimensional Quantile Regression
Sokbae Lee, Yuan Liao, Myung Hwan Seo +1
In this paper, we consider a high-dimensional quantile regression model where the sparsity structure may differ between two sub-populations. We develop -penalized estimator…
Uniform Asymptotics for Nonparametric Quantile Regression with an Application to Testing Monotonicity
Sokbae Lee, Kyungchul Song, Yoon-Jae Whang
In this paper, we establish a uniform error rate of a Bahadur representation for local polynomial estimators of quantile regression functions. The error rate is uniform over a rang…
The Lasso for High-Dimensional Regression with a Possible Change-Point
Sokbae Lee, Myung Hwan Seo, Youngki Shin
We consider a high-dimensional regression model with a possible change-point due to a covariate threshold and develop the Lasso estimator of regression coefficients as well as the…
Testing Functional Inequalities
Sokbae Lee, Kyungchul Song, Yoon-Jae Whang
This paper develops tests for inequality constraints of nonparametric regression functions. The test statistics involve a one-sided version of -type functionals of kernel esti…
Intersection Bounds: Estimation and Inference
Victor Chernozhukov, Sokbae Lee, Adam M. Rosen
We develop a practical and novel method for inference on intersection bounds, namely bounds defined by either the infimum or supremum of a parametric or nonparametric function, or…
