PARTIAL IDENTIFICATION OF THE DISTRIBUTION OF TREATMENT EFFECTS AND ITS CONFIDENCE SETS (2009, background): “See Lee (2005), Abbring and Heckman (2007), Heckman and Vytlacil (2007a, 2007b) for discussions and references.”
From Local to Global: External Validity in a Fertility Natural Experiment (2015, unknown): “Making use of such identifying conditions requires measuring statistical relations between covariates and treatment effects that are invariant as we move from the reference to the target population (Heckman and Vytlacil 2007; Pearl and Bareinboim 2014).”
Nonparametric regression with nonparametrically generated covariates (2012, methodology): “Imbens and Newey (2009) use nonparametric estimates of control variables to correct for endogeneity in triangular structural equation models with nonseparable disturbances.”
Community Colleges and Upward Mobility (2019, unknown): “…certain conditions under which margin-specific treatment effects can be identified, including parametric restrictions on unobserved heterogeneity (Heckman and Vytlacil, 2007; Feller et al., 2016; Hull, 2018a); full-support instruments that permit a multidimensional version of identification at…”
Applied Nonparametric Instrumental Variables Estimation (2011, background): “See Hall and Horowitz (2005); Horowitz (2006, 2009a); Blundell, Chen, and Kristensen (2007); and Blundell and Horowitz (2007).”
Building Bridges Between Structural and Program Evaluation Approaches to Evaluating Policy (2010, unknown): “28 See, e.g., Heckman (2008) or Heckman and Vytlacil (2007a, 2007b) for discussions of these conditions.”
The Economics and Psychology of Personality Traits (2008, unknown): “Helson et al. (2002). for example, has documented the substantial influence that social roles and cultural milieu can have on personality development.”
Estimating Marginal Returns to Education (2010, methodology): “Heckman and Vytlacil (1999, 2001a, 2005, 2007a, 2007b) establish that standard summary measures of the return to college such as the average return to college in the population (E (β|X)), and the average return to college among those who attend college (E (β|X,S = 1)), can be expressed as different…”
