Repairing Locally Misspecified GMM: An Empirical Bayes Approach
Patrick Kline
Econometric models offer parsimonious but inexact approximations to data-generating processes. This paper studies the generalized method of moments (GMM) when exchangeable specific…
A Discrimination Report Card
Patrick Kline, Evan K. Rose, Christopher R. Walters
We develop an Empirical Bayes grading scheme that balances the informativeness of the assigned grades against the expected frequency of ranking errors. Applying the method to a mas…
Adapting to Misspecification
Timothy B. Armstrong, Patrick Kline, Liyang Sun
Empirical research typically involves a robustness-efficiency tradeoff. A researcher seeking to estimate a scalar parameter can invoke strong assumptions to motivate a restricted e…
Audits as Evidence: Experiments, Ensembles, and Enforcement
Patrick Kline, Christopher Walters
We develop tools for utilizing correspondence experiments to detect illegal discrimination by individual employers. Employers violate US employment law if their propensity to conta…
Leave-out estimation of variance components
Patrick Kline, Raffaele Saggio, Mikkel Sølvsten
We propose leave-out estimators of quadratic forms designed for the study of linear models with unrestricted heteroscedasticity. Applications include analysis of variance and tests…
