Quantile Selection in the Gender Pay Gap
Egshiglen Batbayar, Christoph Breunig, Peter Haan +1
We propose a new approach to estimate selection-corrected quantiles of the gender wage gap. Our method employs instrumental variables that explain variation in the latent variable…
Double Robust Bayesian Inference on Average Treatment Effects
Christoph Breunig, Ruixuan Liu, Zhengfei Yu
We propose a double robust Bayesian inference procedure on the average treatment effect (ATE) under unconfoundedness. For our new Bayesian approach, we first adjust the prior distr…
Adaptive, Rate-Optimal Hypothesis Testing in Nonparametric IV Models
Christoph Breunig, Xiaohong Chen
We propose a new adaptive hypothesis test for inequality (e.g., monotonicity, convexity) and equality (e.g., parametric, semiparametric) restrictions on a structural function in a…
Testability of Reverse Causality Without Exogenous Variation
Christoph Breunig, Patrick Burauel
This paper shows that testability of reverse causality is possible even in the absence of exogenous variation, such as in the form of instrumental variables. Instead of relying on…
