Quantile treatment effects in difference in differences models under dependence restrictions and with only two time periods (2017, methodology): “To obtain an accurate approximation for the limiting process in a finite sample, we consider the exchangeable bootstrap proposed by Præstgaard and Wellner (1993) and show its first order validity.”
Transparency, Reproducibility, and the Credibility of Economics Research (2018, neutral): “The Pennsylvania/New Jersey comparison from these papers was extended to the set of all cross-state minimum wage differences in Dube, Lester, and Reich (2010), and Neumark, Salas, and Wascher (2014). coin-toss technique to elicit true responses to sensitive questions, as well as a more standard…”
Political Advertising and Election Results (2018, methodology): “At its core, the empirical strategy in this paper builds on a large literature in labor economics, which uses spatial policy discontinuities to estimate the economic effects of state-wide minimum wages (see Card and Krueger 1994; Dube et al. 2010), right-to-work laws (Holmes 1998), and school-zoning”
Local Protectionism, Market Structure, and Social Welfare: China’s Automobile Market (2017, positive): “As pointed out by Dube et al. (2012), Knittel and Metaxoglou (2014) and a few others, computational issues are important in nonlinear estimations like BLP.”
High Unemployment Yet Few Small Firms: The Role of Centralized Bargaining in South Africa (2012, methodology): “A second approach is to utilize a spatial discontinuity (e.g. Holmes 1998; Dube, Lester, and Reich 2008), where neighboring counties or states are compared, under the assumption that geographically proximate counties share similar labor markets and incentives to form labor policy, but are…”
Difference-in-Differences with multiple time periods (2018, methodology): “As Dube et al. (2010) points out, such negative effects may be spurious given potential violations of the common trend assumption.”
Minimum Wage and Outward FDI from China (2018, methodology): “We continue to find that minimum wage increase has a large and statistically significant effect on firms’ outward FDI probability under the approach of Dube et al. (2010). Third, we develop a placebo test.”
Millionaire Migration and Taxation of the Elite (2016, methodology): “Researchers have used similar quasi- experimental strategies to study how state minimum wage rates affect employment (Dube, Lester, and Reich 2010), and how anti-union right-to-work laws affect the location of manufacturing employment (Holmes 1998) and Walmart stores (Rao, Yue, and Ingram 2011).”
Who Pays for the Minimum Wage? (2019, background): “Proponents, on the other hand, argue that an increase in the minimum wage has at most small employment effects, so incomes of low-skilled workers will rise (e.g., Card and Krueger, 1995; Dube et al., 2010).”
Minimum Wages and Racial Inequality* (2020, background): “A large body of work discusses the efficiency costs of the minimumwage and focuses on its employment effects (see, e.g., Card, 1992; Card et al., 1993; Neumark andWasher, 1992; Card andKrueger, 1995; Neumark andWasher, 2008; Dube et al., 2010; Cengiz et al., 2018).”
