Limit Theory for U-Statistics under Clustered and Weakly Dependent Data
Emmanuel Selorm Tsyawo
This paper develops asymptotic theory and feasible inference for unbounded-kernel order-k U-statistics under clustered sampling and weakly dependent time-series sampling. The analy…
A Grid-Rate Condition for Valid Uniform Inference
Emmanuel Selorm Tsyawo
Conducting uniform inference on a continuous functional F defined on a compact subset X of R^d involves specifying L_n^d nodes for estimation and the construction of confidence ban…
Distributional Effects with Two-Sided Measurement Error: An Application to Intergenerational Income Mobility
Brantly Callaway, Tong Li, Irina Murtazashvili +1
This paper considers identification and estimation of distributional effect parameters that depend on the joint distribution of an outcome and another variable of interest ("treatm…
Quantile and Distribution Treatment Effects on the Treated with Possibly Non-Continuous Outcomes
Nelly K. Djuazon, Emmanuel Selorm Tsyawo
Applied Difference-in-Differences studies often involve outcomes that are discrete, mixed, censored, or otherwise non-continuously distributed, while policy questions frequently co…
Difference-in-differences with as few as two cross-sectional units -- A new perspective to the democracy-growth debate
Gilles Koumou, Emmanuel Selorm Tsyawo
Pooled panel analyses often mask heterogeneity in unit-specific treatment effects. This challenge, for example, crops up in studies of the impact of democracy on economic growth, w…
A Consistent ICM-based Specification Test
Feiyu Jiang, Emmanuel Selorm Tsyawo
In spite of the omnibus property of Integrated Conditional Moment (ICM) specification tests, they are not commonly used in empirical practice owing to features such as the non-pivo…
