The Impact of Indian Job Guarantee Scheme on Labor Market Outcomes: Evidence from a Natural Experiment (2011, unknown): “The National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) is a similar endeavor in India.(2) NREGA was enacted during a time when more than a decade of sustained high growth in GDP experienced in the 1980s and the 1990s was perceived not to have made a sufficient dent in poverty in the rural India, leadin”
The Policy Elasticity (2016, background): “…supply activities, x̂i (θ) = {x̂ij (θ)}i and l̂i (θ) = { l̂ij (θ) } i , that maximize their utility under policy P (θ).23 In the now-standard language of Angrist and Pischke (2008), x̂ (θ) and l̂ (θ) are the “potential outcomes” of individual’s choices of goods and labor supply activities if…”
Spatial Panel-data Models Using Stata (2017, unknown): “Angrist and Pischke (2009) emphasize the potential dangers of this approach for datasets for which there may be unknown serial correlation in the errors within each panel unit.”
Corporate Governance, Incentives, and Tax Avoidance (2015, background): “9 Angrist and Pischke (2009) discuss a classic example of the use of quantile regression from the labor economics literature, where the researchers are interested in whether wage inequality varies conditional on wage determinants such as education and experience.”
Uniformly Semiparametric Efficient Estimation of Treatment Effects With a Continuous Treatment (2015, background): “Rubin (1977), Barnow, Cain, and Goldberger (1980), Heckman, Ichimura, Smith, and Todd (1998), Dehejia and Wahba (1999), Firpo (2007), Flores (2007), Angrist and Pischke (2009), and Cattaneo (2010).”
The effects of a natural gas boom on employment and income in Colorado, Texas, and Wyoming ☆ (2012, methodology): “For a model with one possibly endogenous regressor and one instrument (the just identified case), the Two-Stage Least Squares estimate is approximately unbiased (Angrist and Pischke, 2009). However, imprecision and bias may occur in the second stage if the instrument is onlyweakly correlated with th”
The Effect of Grandparental Support on Mothers’ Labour Market Participation: An Instrumental Variable Approach (2014, unknown): “In the presence of covariates and with many IVs, the IV estimand can be seen as a weighted average of causal effects for instrument-specific compliers (Angrist and Pischke, 2009) but the main insights from the previous discussion still apply.”
International business travel: an engine of innovation? (2014, unknown): “2008; Hsieh and Klenow 2009; Bernard et al. 2010, respectively). See also Keller (2004) for more discussion.”
Mostly pointless spatial econometrics (2012, background): “Acknowledgements The title is a reference to Angrist and Pishke’s (2009) “Mostly Harmless Econometrics” which outlines the experimental paradigm and argues that fancier econometric techniques are unnecessary and potentially dangerous.”
