Description Two highlights of our research progress are the following:

1. Wage dynamics
Centre staff extended existing equilibrium job-search models by allowing for human capital accumulation, employer heterogeneity and individual-level shocks. Human capital accumulation is found to be the most important source of wage growth in early phases of workers' careers, but is soon surpassed by search-induced wage growth. Conventional measures of the returns to tenure hide substantial heterogeneity between workers both within and across firms. This research was accepted for publication in the American Economic Review in August 2013 and is forthcoming. Three related working papers were completed (CWP12/14, CWP13/14 and CWP 14/14). [This work contributes to our research strands Dynamics and Complexity and Networks, Interactions and Equilibrium.]

2. Extending the scope of instrumental variable models
Centre staff made major progress extending the scope of application of weakly restrictive instrumental variable (IV) models. Previously, IV models were applied only in cases with continuous outcomes and low-dimensional heterogeneity. Using new tools from random set theory, we have developed precise characterisations of the identifying power of IV models in a much broader range of cases. Cases covered include models with discrete or continuous outcomes (expenditures, durations, etc.) and models with high-dimensional heterogeneity such as random coefficient and stochastic factor models. This work promises to enable researchers to produce more robust estimates of important economic magnitudes using plausible models in which parameter estimates lie in a set that may contain more than one value. Three papers were published (in Quantitative Economics, Econometric Theory and American Economic Review: Papers and Proceedings), one is forthcoming (Econometrics Journal) and we published one working paper (CWP04/14). [This work contributes to our research strand Identification.]
Exploitation Route The Centre has established itself as an international hub for research and dissemination of best practice of microdata methods. CeMMAP output in 2013/14 included 22 refereed journal articles and 87 working papers in the CeMMAP series. In addition, CeMMAP staff presented 27 conference papers and 192 seminar papers and the Centre hosted 29 seminars, 11 conferences and 3 masterclasses. Amongst the highlights were the following:

1. Econometrics of strategic interactions and games
In June 2013, the Centre staged a two-day masterclass taught by CeMMAP International Fellow Elie Tamer (Northwestern University) on the 'Econometrics of Models with Strategic Interaction' followed by a two-day conference 'Recent Contributions to Inference in Game Theoretic Models'. Both events laid out frontier questions and lines of research that seek to address what can be learned from data that are produced from environments where people make simultaneous decisions. The masterclass, attended by 47 academics from the UK and 16 from overseas, provided an overview of the econometric questions that arise in these settings. The masterclass was tied to a major conference with 79 participants. The conference, co-organised with Northwestern University's Department of Economics, brought together econometricians, applied economists and economic theorists from around the world.

2. Demand estimation and modelling
On 12-14 December 2013, Centre staff co-organised an international conference at Boston College in the US. Twenty-five international academics presented papers discussing new results, new methods, and open questions. Papers at the conference evaluated the impact of government health campaigns on behaviour, considered the importance of peer effects in demand analysis, examined how consumers make choices about insurance and studied demand for residential broadband and gasoline. Researchers also presented new methods to identify and estimate demand parameters in non-linear settings and in settings in which heterogeneity in consumers is important.

Description The Centre's research on methods and practice is of direct use to academics and practitioners using microdata. In particular, the Centre published research on the econometrics of the financial sector, the econometrics of demand and the economics of early childhood development. In addition, public, private and international attendees participated in all our events. During 2013/14, CeMMAP provided 13 training courses. Attendees included 213 academic users, 37 people from the public and private sectors and 35 international attendees. Our 3 masterclasses were attended by 118 academic users, 1 public sector user and 22 international researchers. At our 11 conferences and workshops, delegates included 523 academic users and 128 public and private sector participants. Here are two examples of particular interest: 1. Economics of inequality and human development On 3 September 2013, the Centre co-sponsored a lecture at the British Academy given by Nobel laureate (and CeMMAP International Fellow), James Heckman. The lecture on 'The Economics of Inequality and Human Development', aimed at a general audience, highlighted the policy implications of recent research on early childhood development, discussing both what has been learned and what is not yet known. The lecture was attended by 56 people from government, 20 from the private sector and 43 academics. 2. Longitudinal data methods, macroeconometrics and forecasting The Centre staged three events focused on producing impact in this area, as follows: a) On 25-26 April 2013, the Centre co-sponsored (with UCL and the Bank of England) a conference on the 'Frontiers of Macroeconometrics'. This event focused on new research in macroeconometrics, forecasting and macro-finance. The conference featured work by both academics and researchers at the Bank of England and involved policymakers from the Bank as discussants. It was attended by 70 delegates including 20 attendees from the public sector. b) 'Housing: Microdata, Macro Problems' was held on 23-24 May 2013. This conference, with 11 participants from government, presented research on a host of housing policy issues, including stamp duty, mortgage markets, house price volatility, renting versus owning, and mobility. c) 'Judgement and Combination in Forecasting and Policy Models' was held on 20-21 March 2014. Building on the April 2013 conference as well as on ongoing work by Centre staff, this event presented new developments in forecasting methods from the perspectives of both academic and public sector researchers from the US, the UK and Europe. The conference featured papers presented by academics and discussed by policymakers as well as papers presented by policymakers and discussed by academics. 20 researchers from the public sector and 50 from the academic sector participated. All three events were specifically organised to produce a two-way flow of ideas between academic researchers and policymakers.

Title 3. Stata code for "Testing for the presence of Measurement Error", 
Description This project provides STATA commands for testing for the presence of measurement error. Authors : Young Jun Lee and Daniel Wilhelm This project provides the STATA command dgmtest which implements the test for significance by Delgado and Manteiga (2001) and can be used to test for the presence of measurement error as described in Wilhelm (2017) 
Type Of Technology Software 
Year Produced 2017 
Impact Wilhelm (2017) shows that, under certain conditions, the null hypothesis H0 is equivalent to the null hypothesis of no measurement error in X. Most importantly, Z has to be an excluded variable for the outcome equation of Y. If we have additively linear control variables, we appy the test in Delgado and Manteiga (2001) after replacing Y with (Y - ahat * XL) where ahat is the Robinson (1988)'s estimator.

Type Of Technology Software 
Year Produced 2016 
Open Source License? Yes  
Impact Logitfe fits a logit fixed-effects estimator that can include individual and/or time effects, and account for both the bias arising from the inclusion of individual fixed-effects and/or the bias arising from the inclusion of time fixed-effects. logitfe with the nocorrection option does not correct for the incidental parameter bias problem (Neyman and Scott, 1948). logitfe with the analytical option removes an analytical estimate of the bias from the logit fixed-effects estimator using the expressions derived in Fernandez-Val and Weidner (2013). There are five versions of this correction: set the trimming parameter to estimate spectral expectations to zero, one, two, three or four. logitfe with the jackknife option removes a jackknife estimate of the bias from the fixed effects estimator. This method is based on the delete-one panel jackknife of Hahn and Newey (2004) and split panel jackknife of Dhaene and Jochmans (2010) as described in Fernandez-Val and Weidner (2013). logitfe displays estimates of Index Coefficients and Average Partial Effects .

Results and Impact Model selection among two parametric models based on their likelihood is difficult because (i) the distribution of the corresponding likelihood ratio statistic depends on how the two models relate to each other (whether they are nested, misspecified etc) and (ii) when models are 'close' to each other, existing tests do not control size (over-reject the null when it is true). We propose a very simple model selection test that always has a chi-squared limiting distribution regardless of how the models relate to each other and uniformly controls size so that it is well-behaved even when the two models are 'close'. We apply the methodology to choose among Keynesian and new classical macroeconomic models.

Results and Impact Applied Nonparametric Econometrics - Tutor: Jeffrey Racine, McMaster

In this masterclass, we shall study a unified framework for nonparametric and semiparametric kernel-based analysis.

We focus on kernel-based methods capable of handling the mix of categorical (nominal and ordinal) and continuous datatypes one typically encounters in the course of applied data analysis.

We shall use R for data analysis. The np package for R (http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/np) will be used for the nonparametric and semiparametric analysis, and is available directly from the Comprehensive R Archive Network (http://cran.r-project.org). You will need to install R (http://www.r-project.org/), RStudio (http://www.rstudio.com/), and TeX (http://miktex.org/) for windows, (http://tug.org/mactex/) for Mac OS X on your laptops prior to attending the masterclass.

Material will be taken mainly from Li, Q. and J. S. Racine (2007), Nonparametric Econometrics: Theory and Practice, Princeton University Press, ISBN: 0691121613 (768 Pages).

Results and Impact Bayesian Indirect Inference and the ABC of GMM - Speaker: Han Hong, Stanford

In this paper we propose and study local linear and polynomial based estimators for implementing ABC style computation of indirect inference and GMM estimators. This method makes use of nonparametric regression in the computation of GMM and Indirect Inference models. We provide formal conditions under which frequentist inference is asymptotically valid and demonstrate the validity of the estimated posterior quantiles for confidence interval construction. We also show that in this setting, local linear kernel regression methods have theoretical advantages over local constant kernel methods that are also reflected in finite sample simulation results. Our results also apply to both exactly and over identified models. These estimators do not need to rely on numerical optimization or Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulations. They provide an effective complement to the classical M-estimators and to MCMC methods, and can be applied to both likelihood based models and method of moment based models.

Results and Impact Discrete choice modelling - Tutor - William Greene NYU, Stern Business School

This three day course will study the specification, estimation, and application of discrete choice models. We will examine theoretical background and practical application of up to date and frontier techniques in the analysis of microeconometric models for discrete data. Actual studies will be presented. Participants will also apply the techniques using prepared data and hands on applications.

The overall nature of the course will be an introduction to discrete choice modeling, with a focus on how to fit, interpret, and use models. Theoretical background will include econometric underpinnings of the models and foundations for various computations, but will not include any derivation, proofs, or establishment of, e.g., asymptotic properties of estimators. The proposed is meant to provide practitioners with the econometric instruction needed to use, understand, and interpret some fairly advanced, yet widely used nonlinear techniques.

William H. Greene is Professor of Economics and Entertainment and Media Faculty Fellow, Department of Economics, Stern School of Business, New York University. More information about Professor Greene can be found on his webpage.

The course will include the following topics:

Econometric Methodology: Estimation, inference and prediction with econometric models; Continuous and discrete choice models; Basics of discrete choice modeling; Binary choice modeling; Models for multinomial choice.
Model Specification: Random utility models; Utility function specification; Multinomial logit; Nested logit models; Heteroscedastic extreme value; Mixed logit; Finite mixture (latent class); Multinomial probit.
Estimation:Maximum likelihood estimation; Simulation based estimation; Markov-Chain Monte Carlo estimation techniques; Bayesian and classical estimation procedures; Two step estimation.
Inference: Estimation procedures; Hypothesis testing; Fit measures and test statistics; Specification testing - the IIA assumption
Data Issues: Individual and aggregate data: Ordered and unordered choice data; Weighting and choice based sampling; Stated preference and revealed preference data; Merging SP and RP data sets; Heterogeneity; Heteroscedasticity; Panel data; Scaling; Ranks;
Analysis: Prediction and simulation; Analysis of market scenarios; Specification analysis; Marginal effects and elasticities; Measuring fit in a discrete choice model.

Results and Impact Dynamic Programming - Theory, Computation and Empirical Applications - Tutors: Fedor Iskhakov, University of New South Wales; John Rust, Georgetown University; Bertel Schjerning, University of Copenhagen

The purpose of the course is to provide participants with an understanding of dynamic programming (DP) models and their empirical application. The DP framework has been extensively used in economics to model sequential decision-making over time and under uncertainty. Prominent examples include saving/consumption decisions, retirement behavior, investment, labor supply/demand, housing decisions, and vehicle replacement decisions. The course will first review the theoretical concepts and computational approaches, and then focus on modern empirical applications covering both discrete and continuous decision problems, large scale problems and dynamic games.

The course will cover a range of solution and estimation methods for single agent problems such as value function iterations, policy iterations, method of endogenous gridpoints (EGM), mathematical programming with equilibrium constraints (MPEC), nested fixed point algorithm (NFXP), CCP-estimator, nested pseudo likelihood, as well as their extensions for stochastic games, including the recursive lexicographical search (RLS) method for solving dynamic games with multiple equilibria. The participants will get hands on experience with solving and estimating relatively simple models using provided MATLAB code.

Pre-requisites: Some basic knowledge of dynamic programming model and some programming experience (ideally in MATLAB).

To get the full benefit of the course through hands on experience with solving and estimating relatively simple DP models, participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops with MATLAB installed. Computers will not be provided.

Results and Impact Econometric Estimation of Frontier Functions and Economic Efficiency - Tutor: William Greene, NYU, Stern Business School

This course will present the methodology of econometric estimation of economic efficiency. We will examine the stochastic frontier model as an econometric extension of the classical microeconomic theory of production and cost at the individual producer level. Basic models for production, cost and 'distance' will be examined. We will examine major extensions of the models to provide scope for cross firm heterogeneity (such as heteroscedasticity) as well as unobserved heterogeneity captured by the stochastic specification of the model. The second day of the course will turn to more advanced applications, such as Bayesian and classical methods of estimation and, especially, panel data models. In addition to the examination of theoretical and econometric methods, we will study several applications from the recent literature.

The course will include lectures that develop the relevant theory and extensive practical, laboratory applications. Emphasis in the laboratory sessions will be on estimation of stochastic frontier models and using them to compute measures of economic efficiency. Course participants will apply the techniques on their own computers using the LIMDEP computer program and several 'real' data sets that have been used in applications already in the literature.

Prior knowledge is assumed to include a course in microeconomics, calculus at the level assumed in the first year of a Ph.D. program in economics and a course in econometrics at the beginning Ph.D. level out of a textbook such as Greene, W., Econometric Analysis, 7th edition. Familiarity with LIMDEP will be helpful, but is not necessary.

Students in this course will obtain background in both the theory and methods of estimation for stochastic frontier modeling. This course will provide a gateway to the professional literature as well as practical application of the methods at the level of the contemporary research in the field.

Results and Impact Empirical Models of Differentiated Products - Tutor: Steven Berry, Yale

This masterclass considers the identification and estimation of models of market equilibrium with differentiated products, including applications to various policy-relevant markets.

Most real-world markets feature differentiated products, in reputation and service quality if not in explicit product characteristics. Examples include private markets for physically differentiated goods (automobiles) and markets for various media products (newspapers), as well as for partially privatized and highly regulated goods (such as education in many countries).

In the course, we consider how data can reveal demand and cost parameters, including recent results on formal identification. We go on to discuss theoretical, practical and computational aspects of estimation.

While many of the models condition on the set of products being offered, we also consider models with endogenous products characteristics, such as location, type and quality of the product. Empirical applications feature policy relevant markets like health, media and education, as well as classic applications to antitrust analysis.

Results and Impact Fixed Effects Treatment of Panel Data - Tutor: Bo Honoré, Princeton

This course reviews fixed effects approaches to estimation of nonlinear panel data models.

In the course, we consider both static and dynamic panel data versions of standard nonlinear models such as qualitative response models, multiplicative models, models with selection, and duration models. The importance of the panel aspect is that it allows us to investigate models with error terms that have an unrestricted individual-specific effect. The main question that will be addressed is whether it is possible to identify and estimate the "structural" parameters of these models when the number of time-periods is much smaller than the number of cross sectional units. We will consider both parametric and semiparametric versions of the models; if time permits, we will also discuss the corresponding nonparametric models.

We will emphasize practical aspects of the available methods, and the course will be taught at a level of rigor appropriate for well-trained graduate students interested in empirical microeconomics.

Results and Impact Identification in an Incomplete Model of English Auctions

In this paper (joint with Andrew Chesher) we study identification in auction models that relax the standard equilibrium assumptions in favour of less restrictive - and perhaps more credible assumptions - about bidder behaviour. We apply results from our paper on generalized instrumental variable models to derive the sharp identified set of bidder valuation distributions in a model previously studied by Haile and Tamer (2003, Journal of Political Economy). We show that the identified set so obtained refines the bounds previously derived, which can have implications for objects of economic interest, such as a seller's optimal reserve price. In continuing work we are studying further bidder information structures in the underlying auction, in order to allow for bidder valuations to be correlated (affiliated, or conditionally independent) rather than independent, for example by admitting unobservable auction-specific heterogeneity.

The aim is to give participants an understanding of the suitability of these empirical methods given the nature of the policy under consideration and the available data.

Participants who are involved in designing policy experiments, managing projects undertaking evaluation, or need to make decisions based on the estimated impact of policies will find this course particularly useful.

Results and Impact Introductory Microeconometrics - Tutor: Alan Duncan, Curtin Business School

This course is designed to provide a practical introduction to the most common microeconometric techniques currently in use in applied economic analysis. Many of these methods move beyond the standard tools of econometric analysis, perhaps in order to exploit the richness or structure of large sources of data, or to compensate for some partial observability of economic data, or to build complexities in economic decision-making into an empirical study.

The course may be taken over two or three days. Those without a background in basic econometrics are recommended to take an optional refresher day (covering standard regression methods). Those with a background in basic econometric analysis can take Day 2 and 3 as a two-day unit.

Some emphasis is placed on the link between economic theory and econometric estimation, and the course deals explicitly with interpretation and critical appraisal of econometric estimates.

There will be a strong emphasis on applied work, exploiting the availability of computer techniques for model solution. Instruction in the use of computer software (STATA) will be given as the course proceeds.

Results and Impact Panel Data Analysis with Heterogeneous Dynamics - Speaker: Ryo Okui Kyoto University

This seminar is based on a paper 'Panel Data Analysis with Heterogeneous Dynamics' by Ryo Okui and Takahide Yanagi.

Paper Abstract

This paper proposes the analysis of panel data whose dynamic structure is heteroge- neous across individuals. Our proposed method is easy to implement without assuming any specific model for the dynamics. We first compute the sample mean, autocovariances, and autocorrelations for each individual and then estimate the parameter of interest based on the empirical distributions of the estimated mean, autocovariances, and autocorrelations. We first illustrate the usefulness of our proposed procedures by applying earning dynamics and productivity dynamics and find that both dynamics exhibit lots of heterogeneity.

The asymptotic properties of the proposed estimators are then investigated using double asymptotics under which both the cross-sectional sample size and the length of the time series tend to infinity. We prove the functional central limit theorem for the proposed distribution estimator. If the parameter of interest can be written as the expectation of a smooth function of the individual mean and/or autocovariances, the bias can be reduced by the split-panel jackknife bias-correction. We also develop an inference procedure based on the cross-sectional bootstrap. The results of Monte Carlo simulations show that our asymptotic results are informative regarding the finite-sample properties.

Results and Impact Panel Data Methods - Tutor: Jeffrey Wooldridge, MSU

This course in panel data econometrics, presented from a microeconometrics perspective, will cover linear panel data models with unobserved heterogeneity, including discussions of the strengths and weakness of the various estimation methods.

Basic estimation methods include random effects, fixed effects, and first differencing. Instrumental variables estimation of models without strictly exogenous explanatory variables will also be covered, including those that contain contemporaneously endogenous variables and those that contain lagged dependent variables. Estimation of linear models with heterogeneous trends and heterogeneous slopes will also be covered. Special considerations with unbalanced panels will be discussed, including how to test for sample selection and attrition bias.

The statistical package Stata will be used to illustrate the methods during lectures and in obtaining hands-on experience during the practical work. Please note that this training course will be given in a microeconometrics laboratory where computers will be provided with the neccessary programmes.

Participants should have good working knowledge of ordinary least squares and two stage least squares in a cross-sectional environment, at the level of the "Introductory Microeconometrics" training course.

The course will be presented at a level below my book Econometric Analysis of Cross Section and Panel Data, second edition. MIT Press, 2010. Some of the material can be found in the Imbens/Wooldridge cemmap lecture notes here:

Results and Impact Panel/Longitudinal Data Analysis - Tutor: Frank Windmeijer, University of Bristol

The panel/longitudinal data analysis course covers most of the traditional panel data estimation techniques for micro panels in which the number of individuals (or firms etc.) is large, but the number of time periods is quite small. It focuses on the treatment of unobserved individual specific heterogeneity and discusses the difference between random and fixed effects model specifications.

Attention is given to the estimation of models with explanatory variables that are not strictly exogenous. This means that there can be feedback from the process to be explained to the explanatory variables (for example outputs and inputs in a production function, the effect of previous cigarette consumption on current consumption), or simultaneous determination. In these cases models in first differences can be estimated with instrumental variables estimation techniques, better know as the Arellano-Bond GMM DIF estimation method. Moment conditions for the model in levels will also be considered, resulting in the Blundell-Bond SYS GMM estimator.

The course is a mixture of lectures and applied sessions. Course participants will apply the various techniques using real data on their computers. The software application used is Stata, and no prior knowledge of it is assumed. Participants should have a basic knowledge of econometrics, to a similar level to that taught in the Introductory Microeconometrics course.

Results and Impact Policy Evaluation Methods (Joint with PEPA) - Tutor: Barbara Sianesi Institute for Fiscal Studies

How can one evaluate whether a government labour market programme such as the New Deal, or a subsidy to education such as the EMA is actually working? This course deals with the econometric and statistical tools that have been developed to estimate the causal impact on one or more outcomes of interest of any generic 'treatment' - from government programmes, policies or reforms, to the returns to education, the impact of unionism on wages, or of smoking on own and children's health.

After highlighting the 'evaluation problem' and the challenges it poses to the analyst, we focus on the empirical methods to solve it: randomised social experiments, naive non-experimental estimator, natural experiments or instrumental variables, regression discontinuity design, econometric selection (or control function) models, regression analysis, matching methods, before-after and difference-in-differences methods.

For each of these approaches, we give the basic intuition, discuss the assumptions needed for its validity, highlight the question it answers and formally show identification of the parameter of interest. There will be plenty of discussion of the relative strengths and weaknesses of each approach, drawing from example applications in the literature. Each method will be implemented 'hands-on' in practical Stata sessions.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

frame a variety of microeconometric problems into the evaluation framework, and be aware of the concomitant methodological and modelling issues;
be discerning users of econometric output - able to interpret the results of applied work in the evaluation literature and to assess its strengths and limitations;
access the evaluation literature to further deepen knowledge on their own;
choose the appropriate evaluation method and strategy to estimate causal effects in different contexts; and
use simple statistical packages (e.g. Stata) to implement the different evaluation methods to real data.


Level of knowledge required:


This is a course on quantitative empirical methods for policy evaluation. As such, familiarity with basic statistical concepts (e.g. significance testing) and basic econometric tools like OLS regression and probit/logit models is required.
The practical part of the course will make use of Stata; although the exercises will be guided, basic familiarity with this software is strongly recommended (Please see Basic Stata PDF).


Please note that this is an intermediate-level course.

While offering an in-depth and thorough overview and discussion of the various evaluation methods, this is not an advanced course at the post-graduate level. Most emphasis is devoted to understanding the issues, to the choice of the most appropriate method for a given context and to the implementation of evaluation methods in practice. On the other hand, the course does rely on notation and there is a certain degree of formalisation (at the level of this paper), so please consider that PEPA also holds a much less formal introductory course aimed at those who design, commission or manage evaluation work. An Introduction to Impact Evaluation is scheduled once a year. For further information about this course please contact the PEPA Administrator.

Background reading

No preparatory reading is required as the course does not assume previous knowledge of evaluation methods and issues.

The following references are offered as examples covering evaluation issues and methods at very different levels of formalisation:

Ravallion, M. (1999), "The Mystery of the Vanishing Benefits: Ms. Speedy Analyst's Introduction to Evaluation", World Bank Policy Research Working Paper No. 2153. This papers offers a very gentle introduction to evaluation.

(2005), "Evaluating the Effect of Education: Models, Methods and Results from the National Child Development Survey", Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series A, 168, 473-512. This paper covers some of the evaluation methods that will be discussed in detail during the course, and does so at the same level of formalisation that will be used in the technical part of the course.

On the other hand, there is also a certain degree of formalisation, so this course might not be the most suitable to those purely interested in commissioning or managing evaluation work.

Note also that while participants have often come from a range of backgrounds and have reported enjoying the course, the examples and discussions come from a mostly (labour) economics perspective.

Background reading

No preparatory reading is required as the course does not assume prior knowledge of evaluation methods and issues.

Past participants have however suggested emphasising the importance of reading the following paper to get acquainted with the notation and concepts, while others have recommended that it be set as required reading at the end of the first day (a copy will be included in the course pack for reference). This paper in fact covers some of the evaluation methods that will be discussed in detail during the course, and does so at the same level of formalisation that will be used in the technical part of the course. It may thus be worthwhile to scan it in advance of the course to get an idea of the issues, notation and material more generally:

Results and Impact Policy Evaluation Methods - Tutor: Barbara Sianesi, Institute for Fiscal Studies

How can one evaluate whether a government labour market programme such as the Work Programme, or a subsidy to education such as the EMA is actually working? This course deals with the econometric and statistical tools that have been developed to estimate the causal impact on one or more outcomes of interest of any generic 'treatment' - from government programmes, policies or reforms, to the returns to education, the impact of unionism on wages, or of smoking on own and children's health.

After highlighting the 'evaluation problem' and the challenges it poses to the analyst, we focus on the main empirical methods to solve it: randomised social experiments, naive non-experimental estimator, natural experiments or instrumental variables, regression discontinuity design, econometric selection (or control function) models, regression analysis, matching methods, before-after and difference-in-differences methods.

For each of these approaches, we give the basic intuition, discuss the assumptions needed for its validity, highlight the question it answers and formally show identification of the parameter of interest. The relative strengths and weaknesses of each approach are discussed in detail, drawing from example applications in the economics literature. Each method will be implemented 'hands-on' in practical Stata sessions.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

frame a variety of microeconometric problems into the evaluation framework, and be aware of the concomitant methodological and modelling issues;
be discerning users of econometric output - able to interpret the results of applied work in the evaluation literature and to assess its strengths and limitations;
access the evaluation literature to further deepen knowledge on their own;
choose the appropriate evaluation method and strategy to estimate causal effects in different contexts; and
use simple statistical packages (we use Stata in the course) to implement the different evaluation methods to real data.
Level of knowledge required:

This is an intermediate-level course on quantitative empirical methods for policy evaluation. As such, familiarity with basic statistical concepts (e.g. significance testing) and basic econometric tools like OLS regression and probit/logit models is required. Note also that the course does rely onnotation and there is a certain degree of formalisation (at the level of this paper).

The practical part of the course will make use of Stata; although the exercises will be guided,basic familiarity with this software is strongly recommended (Please see Basic Stata PDF).

In considering this course, please note that while offering an in-depth and thorough overview and discussion of the various evaluation methods, this is not an advanced course at the post-graduate level. Most emphasis is devoted to understanding the issues, to the choice of the most appropriate method for a given context and to the implementation of evaluation methods in practice. On the other hand, there is also a certain degree of formalisation, so this course might not be the most suitable to those purely interested in commissioning or managing evaluation work.

Note also that while participants have often come from a range of backgrounds and have reported enjoying the course, the examples and discussions come from a mostly (labour) economics perspective.

Background reading

No preparatory reading is required as the course does not assume prior knowledge of evaluation methods and issues.

Past participants have however suggested emphasising the importance of reading the following paper to get acquainted with the notation and concepts, while others have recommended that it be set as required reading at the end of the first day (a copy will be included in the course pack for reference). This paper in fact covers some of the evaluation methods that will be discussed in detail during the course, and does so at the same level of formalisation that will be used in the technical part of the course. It may thus be worthwhile to scan it in advance of the course to get an idea of the issues, notation and material more generally:

Results and Impact Policy Evaluation Methods

This is a joint NCRM/cemmap training course.

This course will cover the main evaluation methods to estimate the causal impact on one or more outcomes of interest of any generic 'treatment' - from government programmes or policies, to the returns to education, or the impact of smoking on health. The course will include a mixture of lectures and computer workshops in which participants will apply the different methods to real data using Stata software.

The course covers:

The evaluation problem
Randomised social experiments
Naive non-experimental estimator
Natural experiments/instrumental variables
Regression methods
Matching methods
Longitudinal methods (before-after and difference-in-differences)


Each approach will be presented in intuitive terms before formally showing identification of the parameter of interest. The relative strengths and weaknesses of each approach will be extensively discussed, drawing from example applications in the literature. Each method will then be implemented in practical Stata sessions.

By the end of the course participants will:

be able to frame a variety of microeconometric problems into the evaluation framework, being aware of the concomitant methodological issues;
be discerning users of econometric output, able to interpret the results of applied work in the evaluation literature and to assess its strengths and limitations;
be able to access the more advanced evaluation literature to further deepen knowledge on their own;
be able to choose an appropriate evaluation strategy to estimate causal effects in different contexts; and
be able to use the Stata statistical packages to implement the different evaluation methods to real data.


The course is aimed at researchers and practitioners interested in gaining an understanding and working knowledge of evaluation methods. Participants may be PhD students or academic researchers in the social and health sciences or may work in government, the voluntary or the private sector. While the tutor comes from an economics background and will draw examples from that discipline, the tools the course focuses on are of general applicability.

Participants are expected to have a good working knowledge of basic statistical concepts (e.g. significance testing) and basic econometric tools like OLS regression and probit/logit models.

The practical part of the course will make use of Stata; although the exercises will be guided, basic familiarity with this software is strongly recommended (** I can provide basic pdf).

Please note that this is an intermediate-level course. While most emphasis will be devoted on imparting a practical understanding and a working knowledge of the different methods, the course does rely on notation and contains a certain degree of formalisation.

This masterclass will discuss Manski's book Public Policy in an Uncertain World: Analysis and Decisions (Harvard University Press, 2013) and technical articles that form the foundation for the book. In the book, Manski describes the practice of policy analysis and the inferential problems that researchers confront. He argues that credible analysis typically yields interval rather than point predictions of policy outcomes. He examines how governments might reasonably make policy decisions when they only have partial knowledge of policy outcomes.

Results and Impact Survival Analysis: Modelling Time-to-Event Data - Tutor: Stephen Jenkins LSE

This course is an introduction to survival analysis, also known as 'event history analysis'. These are the statistical methods used to analyse data on spell lengths of time in a state, e.g. how long a marriage lasts, or the duration of a spell of unemployment. For simplicity, the course focuses on models for a single spell per observation unit, but the course also indicates how analysis is extended to address the issues arising when there are multiple spells per unit or multiple destinations ('competing risks').

The course comprises lectures and hands-on applications of the methods using the software Stata.

The aim of the course is to communicate skills necessary to understand and assess the applications of survival analysis reported in the literature; and to provide skills which could be applied to analyse a variety of research and policy problems e.g. in dissertation research.

Stephen P. Jenkins is Professor of Economic and Social Policy at the LSE since January 2011. Before that he was Professor of Economics at ISER, University of Essex. He has taught survival analysis to masters and summer school students for many years. Stephen uses survival analysis in his research and has written a number of widely-used specialist survival analysis modules for use in Stata. His survival analysis pages can be found on the ISER website.

Primary Audience Other audiences
Results and Impact In these lectures we will discuss methods for causal inference, with particular attention to recent contributions from the machine learning literature. We will start with a general overview of the statistical literature on causality from the potential outcome perspective. We will review the analysis of randomised experiments, studies with unconfounded treatment assignment, instrumental variables and other methods for selection on unobservables.

Second we will review some of the machine learning literature on prediction methods. The focus in this literature is typically on methods that `work', more than on deriving asymptotic (large sample) results of the type that are common in the econometrics and mathematical statistics literature. There is also less emphasis on confidence intervals and standard errors. On the other hand there is a heavy emphasis on out-of-sample comparisons, in particular cross-validation. Here we discuss some of the most prominent methods. These include regularised regression, where least squares parameter estimates are shrunk towards zero, with the most popular method LASSO.

We also look at regression trees and their extensions, including random forests. In the third part of the course we discuss where these two literatures meet, looking at machine methods for causal inference. This includes estimation of average treatment effects in data rich settings with many covariates and selection on observables, as well as looking at heterogenous treatment effects in settings with experimental and non-experimental data.

Results and Impact In his new book Public Policy in an Uncertain World, Professor Charles Manski argues that society should face up to the uncertainties that attend policy formation. He observes that the current practice of policy analysis hides uncertainty, as researchers use untenable assumptions to make exact predictions of policy outcomes. Manski recommends performance of more credible policy analysis that explicitly express the limits to knowledge, and he considers how policy makers can reasonably make decisions in an uncertain world.

The conference featured 13 papers that tackled housing issues from a variety of angles. Examples of issues considered are:

Mortgage and bankruptcy constraints in equilibrium
Role of individuals' beliefs and expectations about income and house prices
Interactions between housing and labour market choices
Tenure choice: Why does anyone buy a house?
Housing supply
Contracting frictions in housing and mortgage markets

Results and Impact cemmap masterclass

The course will provide a preview of the econometrics questions that arise when analyzing models with multiple decision makers interacting simultaneously. This simultaneous causality creates challenges to standard approaches to identification and estimation. We first, in a simple bivariate binary game, underscore how observed data can be linked to response functions, and how assumptions about what agents know, their beliefs and how they play impact the kinds of learning that one can do with these data. Given the identification results, we will then provide approaches to statistical estimation of such models and the challenges that come up in building confidence regions. We consider complete and incomplete information games and also observational and experimental data. We will also provide empirical illustrations where practical and computational issues are studied.

An incomplete model of English auctions with symmetric independent private values, similar to the one studied in Haile and Tamer (2003), is shown to fall in the class of Generalized Instrumental Variable Models introduced in Chesher and Rosen (2014). A characterization of the sharp identified set for the distribution of valuations is thereby obtained and shown to refine the bounds available until now.

Results and Impact A host of issues continue to limit understanding of the role housing markets play in the dynamics of financial markets, labour markets, and the wider macro economy. Mortgage and bankruptcy constraints, individual tenure and portfolio choices, potential frictions in the labour, housing and mortgage markets remain promising avenues for theoretical and empirical research and debate. Arguments about policies often hinge on particular modelling assumptions. Which assumptions are of first-order importance? Microdata or theoretical models that shed light on these issues are sought.

The conference featured 13 papers that tackled housing issues from a variety of angles. Examples of issues considered are:

Mortgage and bankruptcy constraints in equilibrium
Role of individuals' beliefs and expectations about income and house prices
Interactions between housing and labour market choices
Tenure choice: Why does anyone buy a house?
Housing supply
Contracting frictions in housing and mortgage markets
Search and matching in housing markets

The conference featured 13 papers that tackled housing issues from a variety of angles. Examples of issues considered are:

Mortgage and bankruptcy constraints in equilibrium
Role of individuals' beliefs and expectations about income and house prices
Interactions between housing and labour market choices
Tenure choice: Why does anyone buy a house?
Housing supply
Contracting frictions in housing and mortgage markets
Search and matching in housing markets
The effects of recent and not-so recent housing/mortgage policies
International comparisons

Presented on 11 August 2016 at the Asia meetings of the Econometric society, Doshisha University, Kyoto, Japan - An incomplete model of English auctions with symmetric independent private values, similar to the one studied in Haile and Tamer (2003), is shown to fall in the class of Generalized Instrumental Variable Models introduced in Chesher and Rosen (2014). A characterization of the sharp identified set for the distribution of valuations is thereby obtained and shown to refine the bounds available until now.

Every participant will use R to immediately internalize and use the techniques in their own academic and industry work. All lectures, except the introductory one, will be accompanied by the R-code that can be used to reproduce the empirical examples in the lectures during the lectures. Thus, there will be no gap between theory and practice.

Primary Audience Other audiences
Results and Impact The course will provide a preview of the econometrics questions that arise when analyzing models with multiple decision makers interacting simultaneously. This simultaneous causality creates challenges to standard approaches to identification and estimation. We first, in a simple bivariate binary game, underscore how observed data can be linked to response functions, and how assumptions about what agents know, their beliefs and how they play impact the kinds of learning that one can do with these data. Given the identification results, we will then provide approaches to statistical estimation of such models and the challenges that come up in building confidence regions. We consider complete and incomplete information games and also observational and experimental data. We will also provide empirical illustrations where practical and computational issues are studied.

Results and Impact Reflecting the advent of "behavioral economics," as well as the accumulation of evidence about some of the systematic shortcomings of traditional economics, this masterclass provides an introduction to some of the ways that insights from psychology can be translated into formal economic analysis. The emphasis is on how economists - as well as policy makers and others applying economic theory - might incorporate these insights to answer important economic questions using the rigorous techniques of traditional economics.

Results and Impact Incomplete information between a firm and consumers or a seller and buyers is a key concept to understand economic relationships and markets. Over the past fifteen years, empirical research has applied these models to analyze auction, insurance and pricing data. Professor Perrigne and Professor Vuong have been major contributors to this area through the development of new econometric methods. They will give lectures on empirical auctions and nonlinear pricing on Thursday and Friday October 17th and 18th. The lectures will cover econometric tools and empirical applications for a deep understanding of market mechanisms. Academic

Primary Audience Other audiences
Results and Impact This series of lectures will introduce students to the recent literature on the macroeconomics of uncertainty shocks (also known as volatility shocks).
Macroeconomics is concerned with the dynamic effects of shocks. For instance, the real business cycle research program originated with an investigation of the consequences of changes in productivity. Later, the new generation of monetary models of the late 1990s and early 2000s was particularly focused on shocks to monetary policy. In open macroeconomics, considerable attention has been devoted to shocks to the interest rate (Mendoza, 1991) or to the terms of trade. Similar examples can be cited from dozens of other subfields of macroeconomics, from asset pricing to macro public finance: researchers postulate an exogenous stochastic process and explore the consequences for prices and quantities of innovations to it.

Results and Impact This class will teach a method that Ljungqvist and Sargent (Recursive Macroeconomic Theory, Third Edition, MIT Press, 2012) call 'dynamic programming squared'. In this method, a dynamic programming problem contains among its state variables the value function for another dynamic programming problem. This method involves some technicalities that, when mastered, empower an economist to attack a variety of challenging problems. The class will teach DP2 by indicating its power for studying Ramsey and Stackelberg problems; problems where enforcement constraints and limited information impair incentive feasible allocations; and settings where reputation can be a more or less imperfect substitute for commitment. The text for the class will be parts of chapters 19, 20, 22, and 23 of Ljungqvist-Sargent.

Results and Impact Statistical decision theory, developed by Wald (1950), provides a coherent frequentist framework for the use of finite-sample data to make decisions. Wald posed the task as choice of a statistical decision function, which maps potentially available data into a choice among the feasible actions. Statistical decision theory has great generality in principle and considerable potential usefulness in practice. This masterclass discusses recent applications to treatment choice and point prediction with sample data. The lectures cover both procedures for use of existing sample data and approaches to choosing sample designs. Academic, public sector, overseas.

Form Of Engagement Activity Participation in an activity, workshop or similar
Part Of Official Scheme? No
Geographic Reach National
Primary Audience Other audiences
Results and Impact Partial identification allows applied researchers to learn about parameters of interest without requiring them to make assumptions that guarantee point identification. This course offers applied researchers an introduction to partial identification and its use in empirical work in economics. No prior knowledge of partial identification is required. Students should however be familiar with commonly used econometric methods such as ordinary least squares, two stage least squares, and maximum likelihood.

As an introduction, the course will begin with a review of point identification and the derivation of estimating equations in familiar contexts, such as the classical linear model. We will then illustrate how the same deductive logic can sometimes result in partial identification. A key area of focus will be on models that produce moment inequalities.

We will then review several areas of economics in which partially identifying models have been applied, such as the study of treatment effects, models with missing data or censored variables, auction models, and instrumental variable models with discrete outcomes. We will discuss the features of data and the models used across different applications to produce empirical results.

Techniques for performing estimation and inference will be demonstrated along the way, using a combination of STATA and MATLAB routines. Some familiarity with both will be helpful, but advanced expertise is not required. Please note that this training course will be given in a microeconometrics laboratory where computers will be provided with the necessary programs.

At the end of the course participants should expect to have an understanding of how partially identifying models been employed successfully in applications, what features of these applications have contributed to their success, and what tools are currently available for their use in further applications.

Geographic Reach National
Primary Audience Other audiences
Results and Impact How can one evaluate whether a government labour market programme such as the Work Programme, or a subsidy to education such as the EMA is actually working? This course deals with the econometric and statistical tools that have been developed to estimate the causal impact on one or more outcomes of interest of any generic 'treatment' - from government programmes, policies or reforms, to the returns to education, the impact of unionism on wages, or of smoking on own and children's health.

After highlighting the 'evaluation problem' and the challenges it poses to the analyst, we focus on the main empirical methods to solve it: randomised social experiments, naive non-experimental estimator, natural experiments or instrumental variables, regression discontinuity design, econometric selection (or control function) models, regression analysis, matching methods, before-after and difference-in-differences methods.

For each of these approaches, we give the basic intuition, discuss the assumptions needed for its validity, highlight the question it answers and formally show identification of the parameter of interest. The relative strengths and weaknesses of each approach are discussed in detail, drawing from example applications in the economics literature. Each method will be implemented 'hands-on' in practical Stata sessions.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

frame a variety of microeconometric problems into the evaluation framework, and be aware of the concomitant methodological and modelling issues;
be discerning users of econometric output - able to interpret the results of applied work in the evaluation literature and to assess its strengths and limitations;
access the evaluation literature to further deepen knowledge on their own;
choose the appropriate evaluation method and strategy to estimate causal effects in different contexts; and
use simple statistical packages (we use Stata in the course) to implement the different evaluation methods to real data.


Level of knowledge required:

This is an intermediate-level course on quantitative empirical methods for policy evaluation. As such, familiarity with basic statistical concepts (e.g. significance testing) and basic econometric tools like OLS regression and probit/logit models is required. Note also that the course does rely on notation and there is a certain degree of formalisation (at the level of this paper).

The practical part of the course will make use of Stata; although the exercises will be guided,basic familiarity with this software is strongly recommended (Please see Basic Stata PDF).

In considering this course, please note that while offering an in-depth and thorough overview and discussion of the various evaluation methods, this is not an advanced course at the post-graduate level. Most emphasis is devoted to understanding the issues, to the choice of the most appropriate method for a given context and to the implementation of evaluation methods in practice. On the other hand, there is also a certain degree of formalisation, so this course might not be the most suitable to those purely interested in commissioning or managing evaluation work.

Note also that while participants have often come from a range of backgrounds and have reported enjoying the course, the examples and discussions come from a mostly (labour) economics perspective.

Background reading

No preparatory reading is required as the course does not assume prior knowledge of evaluation methods and issues.

Past participants have however suggested emphasising the importance of reading the following paper to get acquainted with the notation and concepts, while others have recommended that it be set as required reading at the end of the first day (a copy will be included in the course pack for reference). This paper in fact covers some of the evaluation methods that will be discussed in detail during the course, and does so at the same level of formalisation that will be used in the technical part of the course. It may thus be worthwhile to scan it in advance of the course to get an idea of the issues, notation and material more generally:

Results and Impact This seminar will be delivered by Emmanuel Guerre (Queen Mary, University of London). It is based on the paper 'Quantile regression methods for first-price auction: A signal approach' joint with Nathalie Gimenes, University of Sao Paulo.

Abstract

This paper considers a quantile signal framework for first-price auction. Under the independent private value paradigm, a key stability property is that a linear specification for the private value conditional quantile function generates a linear specification for the bids one, from which it can be easily identified. This applies in particular for standard quantile regression models but also to more flexible additive sieve specification which are not affected by the curse of dimensionality. A combination of local polynomial and sieve methods allows to estimate the private value quantile function with a fast optimal rate and for all quantile levels in [0,1] without boundary effects. The choice of the smoothing parameters is also discussed. Extensions to interdependent values including bidder specific variables are also possible under some functional restrictions, which tie up the bidder covariate and signal as in an auction with resale example.

We measure risk-related private information and investigate its importance in a setting where individuals are able to modify risk ex-ante through costly effort. Our analysis is based on a model of endogenous risk production and contract choice. It exploits data from multiple years of contract choices and claims by customers of a major Portuguese auto insurance company. We additionally use our framework to investigate the relative effectiveness of dynamic versus static contract features in incentivizing effort and inducing sorting on private risks, as well as to assess the welfare costs of mandatory liability insurance.

This paper introduces a framework for analysis of cross-sectional dependence in the idiosyncratic volatilities of assets using high frequency data. We first consider the estimation of standard measures of dependence in the idiosyncratic volatilities such as covariances and correlations. Next, we study an idiosyncratic volatility factor model, in which we decompose the co-movements in idiosyncratic volatilities into two parts: those related to factors such as the market volatility, and the residual co-movements. When using high frequency data, naive estimators of all of the above measures are biased due to the estimation errors in idiosyncratic volatilities. We provide bias-corrected estimators and establish their asymptotic properties. We apply our estimators to high-frequency data on the 30 Dow Jones Industrial Average components, and document strong cross-sectional dependence in their idiosyncratic volatilities. We consider two different sets of idiosyncratic volatility factors, and we find that they cannot fully account for the cross-sectional dependence in idiosyncratic volatilities. We map the network of dependencies in residual idiosyncratic volatilities across the stocks.

Results and Impact This paper studies inference for the average treatment effect in randomized controlled trials with covariate-adaptive randomization. Here, by covariate-adaptive randomization, we mean randomization schemes that first stratify according to baseline covariates and then assign treatment status so as to achieve "balance" within each stratum. Such schemes include, for example, Efron's biased-coin design and stratified block randomization. When testing the null hypothesis that the average treatment effect equals a pre-specified value in such settings, we first show that the usual two-sample t-test is conservative in the sense that it has limiting rejection probability under the null hypothesis no greater than and typically strictly less than the nominal level. In a simulation study, we find that the rejection probability may in fact be dramatically less than the nominal level. We show further that these same conclusions remain true for a na¨ive permutation test, but that a modified version of the permutation test yields a test that is non-conservative in the sense that its limiting rejection probability under the null hypothesis equals the nominal level for a wide variety of randomization schemes that achieve what we refer to as "strong balance." The modified version of the permutation test has the additional advantage that it has rejection probability exactly equal to the nominal level for some distributions satisfying the null hypothesis and some randomization schemes. Finally, we show that the usual t-test (on the coefficient on treatment assignment) in a linear regression of outcomes on treatment assignment and indicators for each of the strata yields a non-conservative test as well under very weak assumptions on the randomization scheme, including randomization schemes that do not achieve "strong balance." In a simulation study, we find that the non-conservative tests have substantially greater power than the usual two-sample t-test. Academics.

Results and Impact We develop limit theory for standardised sums of non-linear transformations of (arrays of) linear processes that lie at the 'boundary' demarcating stationarity from non-stationarity; processes which we term 'weakly nonstationary'. This includes, as leading examples, autoregressive processes with roots drifting slowly towards unity ('moderate deviations from unity' in the terminology of Phillips & Magdalinos, 2007, JoE), and fractionally integrated processes with d = 0.5.

This seminar was delivered by Emmanuel Guerre (Queen Mary, University of London). It is based on the paper 'Quantile regression methods for first-price auction: A signal approach' joint with Nathalie Gimenes, University of Sao Paulo.

Abstract

This paper considers a quantile signal framework for first-price auction. Under the independent private value paradigm, a key stability property is that a linear specification for the private value conditional quantile function generates a linear specification for the bids one, from which it can be easily identified. This applies in particular for standard quantile regression models but also to more flexible additive sieve specification which are not affected by the curse of dimensionality. A combination of local polynomial and sieve methods allows to estimate the private value quantile function with a fast optimal rate and for all quantile levels in [0,1] without boundary effects. The choice of the smoothing parameters is also discussed. Extensions to interdependent values including bidder specific variables are also possible under some functional restrictions, which tie up the bidder covariate and signal as in an auction with resale example.

The event was hosted by University College London (UCL) and the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) and was organised by Gregory S. Crawford (University of Zurich and CEPR), Alessandro Gavazza (LSE and CEPR), Rachel Griffith (IFS/Manchester and CEPR), Lars Nesheim (UCL), and Tommaso Valletti (Imperial and CEPR).

Financial support for the conference was generously provided by the Journal of Industrial Economics (JIE), Amazon Economists, Charles River Associates (CRA), the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS), CEMMAP, Suntory and Toyota International Centres for Economics and Related Disciplines (STICERD, LSE), Compass Lexecon, Google, RBB Economic Consultants, and CEPR.

Conference details:

The Applied IO conference series seeks to contribute to the understanding of the breadth of topics analysed within the field of Industrial Organization, including demand, productivity, competition in the short- and long-run, innovation, investment, and auctions, to develop empirical protocols and tests of economic models, to promote the exchange and the dissemination of results at the forefront of research, and finally, to evaluate current competition and regulation policies. It will cover the state of the art in both applied and empirical Industrial Organization.

This course was an introduction to survival analysis, also known as 'event history analysis'. These are the statistical methods used to analyse data on spell lengths of time in a state, e.g. how long a marriage lasts, or the duration of a spell of unemployment. For simplicity, the course focused on models for a single spell per observation unit, but the course also indicates how analysis is extended to address the issues arising when there are multiple spells per unit or multiple destinations ('competing risks').

We will examine major extensions of the models to provide scope for cross firm heterogeneity (such as heteroscedasticity) as well as unobserved heterogeneity captured by the stochastic specification of the model. The second day of the course will turn to more advanced applications, such as Bayesian and classical methods of estimation and, especially, panel data models. In addition to the examination of theoretical and econometric methods, we will study several applications from the recent literature. For public and private sectors.

Results and Impact This course is an introduction to survival analysis, also known as 'event history analysis'. These are the statistical methods used to analyse data on spell lengths of time in a state, e.g. how long a marriage lasts, or the duration of a spell of unemployment. For simplicity, the course focuses on models for a single spell per observation unit, but the course also indicates how analysis is extended to address the issues arising when there are multiple spells per unit or multiple destinations ('competing risks') For academics and public sector.

Results and Impact This course will present the methodology of econometric estimation of economic efficiency. It will examine the stochastic frontier model as an econometric extension of the classical microeconomic theory of production and cost at the individual producer level. Basic models for production, cost and 'distance' will be examined. It will examine major extensions of the models to provide scope for cross firm heterogeneity (such as heteroscedasticity) as well as unobserved heterogeneity captured by the stochastic specification of the model. The second day of the course will turn to more advanced applications, such as Bayesian and classical methods of estimation and, especially, panel data models. In addition to the examination of theoretical and econometric methods, we will study several applications from the recent literature. Academic and public sector.

Results and Impact Audience: Academics and Policymakers

Analysis of supply and demand models with unobserved heterogeneity remains a frontier area of research in econometrics, in applied industrial organisation, in public economics and in applied economics generally. Continuing a series of conferences on heterogeneity in econometric models started at Brown University in 2009, we hosted a conference on econometric models of supply and demand with heterogeneity at Boston College in December 2016.

The aim of the conference is to improve our theoretical and empirical understanding of consumer and supplier behaviour and the functioning of markets. The conference bought together leading researchers working on the modelling and estimation of supply and demand to discuss research, ideas and new results. The conference welcomed research that emphasizes all aspects of supply and demand decisions ranging from static to dynamic, rational to boundedly-rational, discrete to continuous and everywhere in between. The conference welcomed applied work, theoretical econometric work and approaches that seek to exploit the very large data sources that are increasingly available. The unifying theme is a microeconometric approach to supply or demand analysis that allows for heterogeneity.

This workshop was organised by Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematics and supported by cemmap.

Recent years have witnessed the tremendous growth in privacy research in economics, statistics and computer science. This workshop aims to highlight recent developments in privacy research at the intersection of those fields. It will bring together academics from different horizons: those working on the privacy issues in the handling of economic research data as well as those analysing how privacy affects the incentives and behaviour of economic agents. Privacy research in economics requires novel approaches that go beyond traditional techniques and incorporate ideas from statistics and computer science. The broad objective workshop is to provide an interactive environment to discuss and learn those ideas and approaches.
