Econometric Analysis of Cross Section and Panel Data on JSTOR This paper identifies five common risk factors in the returns on stocks and bonds. In principle, however, the analysis of a DL model parallels that of a static model. He uses Yelowitz (1995) as an example of triple difference and states that the basic ideas of the approach of taking multiple differences are already apparent with two dimensions. The parallel trend assumption is therefore sometimes referred to as a bias stability assumption, see, e.g., Frlich and Sperlich (2019, p. 230). logY_{\textit {sit}}^{f\!emale} = \alpha _{states}+\gamma _{year} + \delta (T\times post) + \epsilon _{\textit {sit}} Varies by project; needs to be known so that an accurate estimate is obtained. No effect: Rejection rates for individual level data models. \end{eqnarray*}$$. Using biased estimates of 0 to estimate 0 in the residuals is also biased [11]. & \quad - \ \bigg (E[Y_0|T=1, B=0, {\textit {Post}}=1] - E[Y_0|T=1, B=0, {\textit {Post}}=0]\bigg ) \nonumber \\ Durbin's m test, or the equivalent Breusch-Godfrey test, are often preferred [1]. If your institution is not listed or you cannot sign in to your institutions website, please contact your librarian or administrator. For example, suppose the population model of interest can be written as$y=\textbf{x}\mathbf\beta +u$, but, rather than assuming$\text{E}(u|\textbf x)=0$, we assume that themedianofugiven x is zero for all x. If the assumptions hold and the right functional form is chosen, this strategy will get rid of the bias in the estimation. Journal of Economic Education. Second, we investigate several additional patterns on the composition of R&D. What are the drivers of the impressive performance derived from investment strategies designed to exploit firms' geographic proximity to political power (PAI)?

Among them: Decreases with increasing 0 if the variance of the innovations is held fixed. The enduring impact of the American Dust Bowl: Short-and long-run adjustments to environmental catastrophe, The effect of customers social media participation, on customer visit frequency and profitability: An empirical investigation. (2004) as possible, we restrict the sample to participants between the ages of 25 and 50 with strictly positive earnings. We also cover the related method of minimum distance estimation. It is probably a good idea to mention the growing importance of data sets that have both a cross-sectional and time dimension. (2004) show how the estimator is prone to over-rejection, i.e., finding false positives. In Currie, D., R. Nobay, and D. Peel (Eds.). 06 GMM does OLS. Biometrika. Society member access to a journal is achieved in one of the following ways: Many societies offer single sign-on between the society website and Oxford Academic. The accuracy of estimation of the coefficients in depends on the constituent columns of Zt, as well as the joint distribution of et. This leads to a model that underestimates the effects of past history, forcing significant predictors into the innovations process. The differences are, however, marginal. Notes: This table is produced using the software Harzingers Publish or Perish 6. Just as with underspecification, the CLM assumption of strict exogeneity is violated, and OLS estimates of become biased. \end{eqnarray*}$$, The classical difference-in-differences estimator is presented in (, $$\begin{eqnarray*} \end{eqnarray*}$$, We are now ready to derive the parallel trend assumption that identifies, $$\begin{eqnarray*} The second set of simulations illustrate a situation in which both 0 and 0 are positive. & \bigg (E[Y_0|T=0, B=1, {\textit {Post}}=1] - E[Y_0|T=0, B=1, {\textit {Post}}=0]\bigg ) \nonumber \\ I do this mostly through the agricultural yield, return to education, and crime examples. However, we are left with the question of standard errors. However, the evidence of further exploration of market inefficiency level shows that the different anomaly returns pattern exists in the two examination periods. Instead, we assume we have available instrumental variables (IVs) that are uncorrelated with the idiosyncratic errors in all time periods. The best choice will depend on the sample size, the lag structure, the presence of exogenous variables, and so on, and often requires the kinds of simulations presented in this example. New York: McGraw-Hill, 1972. While the treatment states might trend differentially from the control states regardless of treatment, we believe that this trend affects men and women similarly. Vol. One reason may be that the properties of the triple difference estimator are considered obvious. We also show that the triple difference parallel trend assumption is equivalent to the parallel trend assumption in a difference-in-differences model based on ratios. Thus, a lag structure may overspecify the dynamics of the response by including a sequence of lagged predictors with only marginal contributions to the DGP. University of Essex Discussion Paper No. In this paper, we provide the asymptotic theory for the widely used Fama and MacBeth (1973) two-pass risk premia estimates in the usual case of a large number of assets. In this paper, we introduce new insights to enrich this debate. To illustrate the estimator bias introduced by lagged endogenous predictors, consider the following DGP: We run two sets of repeated Monte Carlo simulations of the model. If you are a member of an institution with an active account, you may be able to access content in one of the following ways: Typically, access is provided across an institutional network to a range of IP addresses. Another reason may be that triple difference was little more than a curiosity in the first ten years after Grubers paper. Cost Estimating Handbook Correlation measures were examined extensively by Fisher ([3],[4],[5]), who suggested a number of alternatives. In this chapter we consider discrete response models with more than two outcomes. This authentication occurs automatically, and it is not possible to sign out of an IP authenticated account. Bias is defined as E[0]-0, so we use the mean to measure the aggregate estimate. These assumptions were sufficient for obtaining consistent, asymptotically normal estimators, some of which were shown to be efficient within certain classes of estimators. \bar{Y}_{ij} = \bar{Y}_{aij} - \bar{Y}_{bij} . \beta _7 &=& \bigg [ \bigg (E[Y_1|T=1, B=1, {\textit {Post}}=1] - E[Y_0|T=1, B=1, {\textit {Post}}=0]\bigg ) \nonumber \\ Homoskedastic - Overview, How It Works, Reliability Ordinary least squares Section8 provides concluding remarks.

"On the "Probable Error" of a Coefficient of Correlation Deduced from a Small Sample. The DD parallel trend assumption then translates into what they call a parallel growth or common acceleration assumption. This is seen by comparing TablesB2 andB3. The most authoritative and formal treatment of the triple difference estimator was for many years an unpublished NBER summer institute lecture note on difference-in-differences estimation by Imbens and Wooldridge (2007). & \beta _7 = E[Y_1-Y_0|T=1, B=1, {\textit {Post}}=1] =\delta \, \quad q.e.d. Moreover, the two-faced size effect remains robust to stylized facts that invalidate the unconditional size effect. \end{eqnarray*}$$, $$\begin{eqnarray*} When it comes to power, the triple difference outperforms the difference-in-differences, often by a lot, in almost all cases. Do private transfers displace the benefits of public transfers? 10, 1915, pp. For many applications, even the weakest of these assumptions, Assumption SOLS.1, is violated, in which case instrumental variables procedures are indispensable. Initially, lag structures may include observations of economic factors at multiple, proximate times. && - \ \bigg (E[Y|T=1, B=0, {\textit {Post}}=1] - E[Y|T=1, B=0, {\textit {Post}}=0]\bigg ) \bigg ] \nonumber \\ In the AR(1) process with AR(1) innovations, the predictor yt-1 becomes correlated with et as well, through the autocorrelation between et and et-1. 1-25, Journal of Financial Economics, Volume 134, Issue 3, 2019, pp. The intuition is that the difference between two biased difference-in-differences estimators will be unbiased as long as the bias is the same in both estimators. We do not include individual level controls for better comparisons between the simulated models, but we always include state and year fixed effects as well as a fixed effect of gender when applicable. For positive 0, the dynamic effect on 0 is negative. [1] Breusch, T.S., and L. G. Godfrey. When choosing between a triple difference and a difference-in-differences on a ratio-variable, there are several things to consider. A close reading of these articles reveals that the use of the triple difference estimator to a large extent rests on intuition. In this paper we document the rise of the triple difference estimator. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass, 1974. Estimator The identifying assumptions are neither formally derived nor generally agreed on. You can also select a web site from the following list: Select the China site (in Chinese or English) for best site performance. You have substantial latitude about what to emphasize in Chapter 1. Access to content on Oxford Academic is often provided through institutional subscriptions and purchases. This occurs in any AR model, and results in biased OLS estimates from finite samples. A look at Yelowitz (1995) reveals that he does not go into depth on the estimator and the identifying assumptions. Stratified sampling occurs when units in a population are sampled with probabilities that do not reflect their frequency in the population. Some response variables in economics come in the form of a duration, which is the time elapsed until a certain event occurs. Thus, in the first set of simulations there is a negative bias across sample sizes. & E[Y|T=1, B=0, {\textit {Post}}=0]=\beta _0+\beta _1 \nonumber \\ Seven of the 50 most cited articles list Gruber as a co-author.5 Six articles are covered in the review of articles in AER/QJE/JPE.6 Among the rest, seven have methodological-sounding names.7 A close reading of the articles with methodological-sounding names reveals that they do not give a formal exposition of the triple difference estimator, nor its identifying assumption. The reason is that the difference between two biased difference-in-differences estimators will be unbiased as long as the bias is the same in both estimators. \end{eqnarray*}$$, $$\begin{eqnarray*} (The effects of heteroscedastic innovations are similar, though typically less pronounced.) Because OLS determines these weights by trading off bias for efficiency, stacked regression estimators also exhibit greater efficiency (i.e., a tighter distribution) in Fig. Moving Average (MA) variables are lagged values et-k of unobserved stochastic innovations processes et. Overall, our findings not only show that both small-minus-big and big-minus-small premiums exist but also highlight the necessity of accounting for these two faces when assessing the size effect. The bias is twice as large as the bias in 0 [8]. In Chapter 8 we saw how the generalized method of moments (GMM) approach to estimation can be applied to multiple-equation linear models, including systems of equations, with exogenous or endogenous explanatory variables, and to panel data models. \beta _4 &=& E[Y|T=1, B=1, {\textit {Post}}=0] + E[Y|T=0, B=0, {\textit {Post}}=0] \nonumber \\ The emphasis in this chapter is on situations where two or more variables are jointly determined by a system of equations. large samples. Because economic variables are properly interpreted as random variables, we should use ideas from probability to formalize the sense in which a change inwcauses a change iny. Vol. Whether the bias is actually reduced depends on the size of the remaining terms in the expansion, but jackknife estimators have performed well in practice. The modern approach to system instrumental variables (SIV) estimation is based on the principle of generalized method of moments (GMM). Charles J. Hadlock, Joshua R. Pierce, New Evidence on Measuring Financial Constraints: Moving Beyond the KZ Index, The Review of Financial Studies, Volume 23, Issue 5, May 2010, Pages 19091940, https://doi.org/10.1093/rfs/hhq009. Most applications fall into one of two categories. Section6 shows that the triple difference estimator can also be viewed as a difference-in-differences using a ratio between two outcome variables. In this part we begin our study of nonlinear econometric methods. If the sample size is too small then the results will not be reliable and one should use Auto Regressive Distributed Lags (ARDL). As for clustered errors, there seems to be little gain, nor loss, from moving from a difference-in-differences to a triple difference estimator, in terms of false positives. Least squares As described earlier, OLS residuals in the case of AR(1) innovations do not accurately represent process innovations, because of the tendency for 0 to absorb the systematic impact produced by autocorrelated disturbances. Five famous value premium (VP) indicators, including book-to-market, cash flow-to-price, earnings-to-price, dividend-to-price, and sales-to-price ratios, are employed to examine the market efficiency during the two examination periods, respectively.

Evidence from quotas, Firm boundaries matter: Evidence from conglomerates and R&D activity. g) Budget profile. I find it useful to talk about the economics of crime example (Example 1.1) and the wage example (Example 1.2) so that students see, at the outset, that econometrics is linked to economic reasoning, if not economic theory. In this framework |$E[Y_{1,sit}]$| is the expected outcome of a state, group, and time if treated, while |$E[Y_{0,sit}]$| is the expected outcome of a state, group, and time if not treated. [4] Fisher, R. A. The first method of estimation we cover is system ordinary least squares, which is a direct extension of OLS for single equations.

Applications and How it Relates to Study of Econometrics OLS estimators, because of such desirable properties discussed above, are widely used and find several applications in real life. 684, 2011. Researchers considering the triple difference should rest assured that in optimal cases with many (treated) clusters, the triple difference is typically at least as good as the difference-in-differences, and often much better. Vol 48, 1961, pp. Deschnes etal. Benchmark analysis discovers that ESG performance can significantly reduce the cost of equity capital of listed companies, which is robust even when heteroscedasticity, sequence correlation and cross-section correlation are controlled, respectively, or simultaneously. For a fairly recent and extensive exposition of the issues in the difference-in-differences estimator, see Cameron and Miller (2015). $$\begin{eqnarray*} You can download the paper by clicking the button above. Register, Oxford University Press is a department of the University of Oxford. The asymptotic bias becomes significant when 0 and 0 move in opposite directions away from zero autocorrelation. We deviate from Bertrand etal. The row names indicate how many (placebo) treated clusters there were out of the total of 51. To shine some light on the issue, we use the procedure of Bertrand etal. \end{eqnarray}$$, $$\begin{eqnarray} Instead, he cites Gruber (1994) and Gruber and Poterba (1994). The paper is partly financed by the Research Council of Norway, Grant No. As a result, innovations in et become a mix of the inherent stochasticity of the process and a potentially large number of omitted variables (OVs). Essentially, a more efficient estimator, needs fewer input data or observations than a less efficient one to achieve the CramrRao bound.An efficient estimator is characterized by having the smallest possible variance, indicating that there is a small The identifying assumptions are neither formally derived nor generally agreed on. \beta _2 &=& E[Y|T=0, B=1, {\textit {Post}}=0]-E[Y|T=0, B=0, {\textit {Post}}=0] \nonumber \\ This chapter begins our analysis of linear systems of equations. && - \ \bigg [ \bigg (E[Y_0|T=0, B=1, {\textit {Post}}=1] - E[Y_0|T=0, B=1, {\textit {Post}}=0]\bigg ) \nonumber \\ Despite this, we show that the triple difference estimator does not require two parallel trend assumptions to have a causal interpretation. "Bias in the Estimation of Autocorrelations." Also, we increase the number of observations and the complexity of the model. The jackknife procedure is a cross-validation technique commonly used to reduce the bias of sample statistics. The difference-in-differences and the triple difference estimators often have a group and a time structure, for instance, individual level data in different US states over time, with some states being treated. Linear regression Another strong point, as this example has shown, is the presence of an OLS-superior range, where OLS may outperform other estimators, even under what are generally regarded as adverse conditions. Classical Assumptions of Ordinary Least Squares & \bigg (E[Y_0|T=1, B=1, {\textit {Post}}=1] - E[Y_0|T=1, B=1, {\textit {Post}}=0]\bigg ) \nonumber \\ Researchers should know that there is little to lose, and some to gain, by using the triple difference relative to difference-in-differences, but also realise that when there are few clusters, or few treated clusters, both will have severe issues of over-rejection. \end{eqnarray*}$$, Semiparametric difference-in-differences estimators, Mostly Harmless Econometrics: An Empiricists Companion, Computing robust standard errors for within-groups estimators, Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, Identification and inference in nonlinear difference-in-differences models, A note on the triple difference in economic models, Efficient estimation of maximum likelihood models with multiple fixed-effects: The R package FENmlm. Studying returns and characteristics at the stock-level, we find that five IPCA factors explain the cross section of average returns significantly more accurately than existing factor models and produce characteristic-associated anomaly intercepts that are small and statistically insignificant. A good, general reference for background in asymptotic analysis is White (2001). For a 5 percent effect the reduction is from 69 percent to 40 percent for the difference-in-differences, and 99.8 percent to 95 percent for the triple difference. \beta _7 &=& \bigg [ \bigg (E[Y|T=1, B=1, {\textit {Post}}=1] - E[Y|T=1, B=1, {\textit {Post}}=0]\bigg ) \nonumber \\ The row names indicate how many (placebo or real) treated clusters there were out of the total of 51. Shifting the equation backwards one step at a time, yt-1 is determined by both yt-2 and et-1, yt-2 is determined by both yt-3 and et-2, and so forth.

Section4 shows that the triple difference estimator can be viewed as the difference between two difference-in-differences estimators. 3, 1924, pp. However, the triple difference shows greater power to detect true (simulated) effects. Absent any other CLM violations, the estimates are, nevertheless, consistent and relatively efficient. Finally, looking at column 6, the rejection rate is 6 percent for 25 treated clusters, which is close to ideal, 13 percent for 5 treated clusters, 37 percent for 2 treated clusters and 82 percent for 1 treated cluster, showing the same pattern as the difference-in-differences, however, mildly preferred for 525 treated clusters, but not for 12 treated clusters. Notably, none of these alternatives exhibit the sign-flip problem of TWFE DiD estimators (i.e., Simulation 6 of Fig. In the case of NID innovations, a relatively small negative bias disappears asymptotically as the aggregate estimates increase monotonically toward 0: In the case of AR(1) innovations, aggregate estimates with a negative bias in small samples increase monotonically toward 0, as above, but then pass through the DGP value at moderate sample sizes, and become progressively more positively biased in large samples: The inconsistency of the OLS estimator in the presence of autocorrelated innovations is widely known among econometricians. We also cover the related method of minimum distance estimation. Based on your location, we recommend that you select: . How much should we trust differences-in-differences estimates? University of Essex Discussion Paper No. (2004), with rejection rates roughly between 60 and 70 percent, i.e., we find a significant effect 60 to 70 percent of the times in the case of IID standard errors and placebo treatment, which is severe over-rejection.18 This is almost identical to the results with robust standard errors, as shown in column 2. It furthers the University's objective of excellence in research, scholarship, and education by publishing worldwide, This PDF is available to Subscribers Only. As we suggested in Section 1.1, the conditional expectation plays a crucial role in modern econometric analysis. We find evidence consistent with each of the model's five central predictions: (1) Because constrained investors bid up high-beta assets, high beta is associated with low alpha, as we find empirically for US equities, 20 international equity markets, Treasury bonds, corporate bonds, and futures. We draw n placebo treatment states out of 51, draw a year from a uniform distribution over 19851995 which serves as a treatment year, estimate different models, and reiterate the process 10,000times, considering rejection rates, i.e., how often we find a significant effect. [9] Maeshiro, A. && - \ \bigg (E[Y|T=0, B=0, {\textit {Post}}=1] - E[Y|T=0, B=0, {\textit {Post}}=0]\big ) \bigg ] . \beta _6 &=& E[Y|T=0, B=1, {\textit {Post}}=1] + E[Y|T=0, B=0, {\textit {Post}}=0] \nonumber \\ The conditional performance is consistent with the evidence that the prices of small stocks respond slowly to information shocks and is mainly driven by the conditional difference in cash-flow shocks between small and big stocks. 27, 1996, pp. 31, 2000, pp. Reliability of the Homoskedastic Assumption. For example, in Part II, where we studied models linear in the parameters, we assumed that data on the dependent variable, the explanatory variables, and instrumental variables can be obtained by means of random samplingwhether in a cross section or panel data context. 139-141, Journal of Financial Economics, Volume 111, Issue 1, 2014, pp. Click the account icon in the top right to: Oxford Academic is home to a wide variety of products. \end{eqnarray*}$$. In Section 11.1 we briefly treat the GMM approach to estimating the standard, additive effect model from Chapter 10, emphasizing some equivalences between the standard estimators and GMM 3SLS estimators. asymptotic variance of OLS This will not be valid if the health-care reform has within-state spillovers from group B to group A. The first set of simulations above illustrate a situation in which 0 is positive and 0 is zero. There are two bond-market factors, related to maturity and default risks. 31-40, Economics Letters, Volume 132, 2015, pp. Turning to the triple difference estimator, the results for IID and robust standard errors still over-reject, with rejection rates of about 30 percent, regardless of how many treated clusters there are, as shown in column 4 and 5.
