This paper deals with the identification of treatment effects using difference-in-differences estimators when several pretreatment periods are available. We define a family identifying nonnested assumptions that lead to alternative estimators. show most usual imply equivalence conditions for assumptions. further propose model can be used test multiple without imposing any them. conduct Monte Carlo analysis and apply our approach recent papers its practical relevance.
When several pretreatment periods are available, identification of the treatment effect in a difference-in-differences framework requires an assumption relating dynamics for controls and treated absence treatment. Mora Reggio (2012, Working Paper 12-33, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid) define family alternative identifying assumptions propose model that, contrary to usual econometric specifications, allows one identify any given family. In this article, we introduce command, didq, that...
Abstract This study looks at international competitiveness of agriculture in the European Union and United States. The most intuitive concept is that price competitiveness. We calculate relative prices for 11 member states States period 1973–2002. assume markets are perfectly competitive long‐run equilibrium, so observed always equals average total cost, as measured by cost dual to production function. assumption used our calculation productivity gaps between decomposition movements changes...
Recent research has shown that two entropy-based segregation indices possess an appealing mixture of basic and subsidiary but useful properties. It would appear the only fundamental difference between mutual information or M index, entropy H is second a normalized version first. This paper introduces another index in family, H* which captures as tendency racial groups to have different distributions across schools. More importantly, shows applied researchers may do better using than either...
Using the Spanish micro data from Programme for International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC), we first document how excessive gap in employment protection between indefinite and temporary workers leads to large differentials on-the-job training (OTJ) against latter. Next, find that lower specific received by is correlated with literacy numeracy scores achieved PIAAC study. Finally, provide further cross-country evidence showing OJT gaps are quite those European labour markets where...
We propose a measure of gender segregation over the life course that includes differences between women and men in occupational allocation, degree time involvement paid work, their participation different forms economic activity inactivity, such as homemaking, retirement. pool 21 Labour Force Surveys for United Kingdom to measure, compare, add up these various segregation—occupational, time-related, economic—from 1993 2013 ( n = 1,815,482). The analysis relies on Strong Group Decomposability...
Using micro data from the Programme for International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC), we first document how having a temporary contract in Spain is associated to lower levels on-the-job training (OJT). Next, find that this OJT gap positively correlated with gaps literacy and numeracy scores achieved by these two types workers PIAAC study. Although choose as case study dual labor market, also provide cross-country evidence showing are those European markets where dualism less...
Abstract This paper shows that average wage gap decompositions between any two groups of workers can be carried out using nonparametric structures. It also proposes an algorithm to correct for sample selection in models known as tree studies the third‐generation Mexican American and non‐Hispanic white southwest. is shown decomposition heavily depends on functional assumptions, different aproaches flexibility may render sufficiently good similar results Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
The purpose of this study was to examine, through a randomized, controlled trial, the effects maternal carbohydrate-restricted diet on and infant outcomes in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Women diagnosed with GDM were randomly allocated into one two groups: an intervention group that placed lower-carbohydrate (35-40% total calories) or control usual pregnancy (50-55% carbohydrate). A convenience sample participants (ages 18-45 years) recruited from different sites: urban low-income...
This paper uses a novel approach to infer hospital technical quality from revealed preferences over residency programs. Specifically, we use Spanish medical graduates’ choices made 1995 2000. We start by estimating model of graduates that controls for hospital, proximity, specialty, and gender effects. interpret the coefficients on dummy variables as measures hospitals. Our results show do indeed discriminate between hospitals their correlate with hospital-specific covariates arguably...
Abstract This paper presents an algorithm based on the bootstrap to select admissible aggregation level, that is, minimum number of occupational categories yield a gender segregation value not significantly smaller than obtained from large usually available in any data set. The approach is illustrated using labour force survey for Spain comparison 1977 and 1992, as well 1994 2000. To measure segregation, additively decomposable index entropy concept used. Despite substantial simplification...
