The Econometrics of Randomized Experiments (2016, background): “…treatment in settings with non-compliance an alternative to making additional assumptions, is to focus on getting ranges of values for the estimand that are consistent with the data in a bounds or partial identification approach in a line of research associated with Manski (1990, 1996, 2003, 2013).”

What Would It Take to Change an Inference? Using Rubin’s Causal Model to Interpret the Robustness of Causal Inferences (2013, background): “Altonji, Elder, and Taber (2005) and Altonji, Conley, Elder, and Taber (2010) bounded estimated effects by drawing on information associated with observed confounds (cf. Manski, 1990, who bounds based on the maximum value of the outcome).”
Overdispersion and Poisson Regression (2008, background): “In practice, it is likely that excess variation around fitted values results from specification errors in the systematic part of the Poisson regression model: omitted variables and incorrect functional forms (Box, 1976; Freedman, 1987; de Leeuw, 1994; Manski, 1990; Heckman, 1999; Berk, 2003).”
