  • Model Averaging and Double Machine Learning

    Open AccessAchim Ahrens, Christian Hansen et al.ARTICLEJournal of Applied Econometrics2025

    This paper discusses pairing double/debiased machine learning (DDML) with stacking , a model averaging method for combining multiple candidate learners, to estimate structural parameters. In addition to conventional stacking, we consider two stacking variants available for DDML: Short‐stacking exploits the cross‐fitting step of DDML to substantially reduce the computational burden, and pooled stacking enforces common stacking weights over cross‐f…

  • Wage Policies of a Russian Firm and the Financial Crisis of 1998: Evidence from Personnel Data, 1997 to 2002

    Open AccessThomas Dohmen, Henri Lehmann et al.ARTICLEIndustrial and Labor Relations…2014References: 24

    The authors use a rich personnel data set from a Russian firm for the years 1997 to 2002 to analyze how the firm adjusts wages and employment during this period in which local labor market conditions changed in the aftermath of the financial crisis in 1998. They relate the development of turnover and wages for various employment categories to alternative models of wage and employment determination. The authors argue that the firm's behavior is co…

  • Enhanced Routines for Instrumental Variables/Generalized Method of Moments Estimation and Testing

    Open AccessChristopher F Baum, Mark E Schaffer et al.ARTICLEThe Stata Journal: Promoting…2007

    We extend our 2003 paper on instrumental variables and generalized method of moments estimation, and we test and describe enhanced routines that address heteroskedasticity- and autocorrelation-consistent standard errors, weak instruments, limited-information maximum likelihood and k-class estimation, tests for endogeneity and Ramsey's regression specification-error test, and autocorrelation tests for instrumental variable estimates and panel-data…

  • Instrumental Variables and GMM: Estimation and Testing

    Open AccessChristopher F Baum, Mark E Schaffer et al.ARTICLEThe Stata Journal: Promoting…2003

    We discuss instrumental variables (IV) estimation in the broader context of the generalized method of moments (GMM), and describe an extended IV estimation routine that provides GMM estimates as well as additional diagnostic tests. Stand-alone test procedures for heteroskedasticity, overidentification, and endogeneity in the IV context are also described.

  • Measuring Progress in Transition and Towards EU Accession: A Comparison of Manufacturing Firms in Poland, Romania and Spain

    Open AccessWendy Carlin, Saul Estrin et al.ARTICLEJCMS Journal of Common Market…2000Cited by: 3References: 1

    This article provides new evidence on progress in transition and the ‘readiness’ for accession of enterprises in two EU applicant countries. A major innovation is to benchmark them against Spain. Approximately 200 manufacturing firms were surveyed in each of Poland, Romania and Spain. Newly‐established private firms in both Poland and Romania are found to be growing the fastest, but on measures of integration and investment, it is new and privati…
