"Income Risk
Inequality: Evidence from Spanish Administrative Records" (with
Stéphane Bonhomme, Micole De Vera, Laura Hospido, and Siqi Wei). First draft:
March 2021.
"Recovering
Latent Variables by Matching" (with Stéphane Bonhomme). This
version: May 2021. We propose a matching method based on optimal transport to
nonparametrically estimate linear models with independent latent variables. We
apply the method to document the cyclicality of permanent and transitory income
and wage shocks in the US. Codes
to implement the matching estimator. To appear in the Journal of the American Statistical Association.
"Nonlinear
Persistence and Partial Insurance: Income and Consumption Dynamics in the PSID"
(with Richard Blundell and Stéphane Bonhomme). American Economic Review,
Papers and Proceedings, 108, 2018, 281-286.
"Nonlinear
Panel Data Methods for Dynamic Heterogeneous Agent Models" (with
Stéphane Bonhomme). Appeared in Annual
Review of Economics, 9, 2017, 471-496.
"Earnings and
Consumption Dynamics: A Nonlinear Panel Data Framework" (with
Richard Blundell and Stéphane Bonhomme). Supplementary Appendix.
We develop a new quantile-based panel data framework to study the nature of
income persistence and the transmission of income shocks to consumption. Using
PSID data we find nonlinear persistence and conditional skewness to be key
features of the earnings process. We show that the impact of earnings shocks
varies substantially across earnings histories, and that this nonlinearity
drives heterogeneous consumption responses. ES
Presidential Address, Toulouse, August 2014. Appeared in Econometrica,
85, 2017, 693-734.
"Quantile
Selection Models with an Application to Understanding Changes in Wage
Inequality" (with Stéphane Bonhomme). Supplementary
Appendix. We propose a method to correct quantile regression estimates for
sample selection, and apply it to study wages and employment in the UK.
Appeared in Econometrica, 85, 2017, 1-28.
"Sample Selection
in Quantile Regression: A Survey" (with Stéphane Bonhomme)
September 2016. Prepared for the Handbook of Quantile Regression, edited
by Roger Koenker, Victor Chernozhukov, Xuming He, and Limin Peng. This paper
contains the code for the selection-corrected quantile regression estimator.
"Instrumental Variable Quantile Regressions in Large Panels with Fixed
Effects" (with Martin Weidner). We characterize the incidental
parameter bias of QR and instrumental-variable QR estimators. We find bias
correcting moment functions that are first-order unbiased. We uncover a
bias-variance trade-off when attempting to correct bias, and provide bias
corrected estimators that balance this trade-off. Delete-one Jackknife is not
first-order bias correcting in QR due to the fact that the second-order bias
has a non-standard structure. An approximation to the leading order bias
suggests that the incidental parameter bias would tend to average effects
across quantiles. In an application we study the effect of age on academic
achievement of school children. When controlling for school fixed effects and
correcting for incidental parameter bias we find that the age effect is
decreasing in the quantiles of the test score. Paper coming soon.
"Nonlinear
Panel Data Estimation via Quantile Regressions" (with Stéphane
Bonhomme). We introduce a class of quantile regression estimators for short
panels. Our framework covers static and dynamic autoregressive models, models
with general predetermined variables, and models with multiple individual
effects. We use quantile regression as a flexible tool to model the
relationships between outcomes, covariates, and heterogeneity. Appeared in Econometrics

Address at SAE, Sevilla, December 11, 2003. July 1999 version.
"Identifying
Distributional Characteristics in Random Coefficients Panel Data Models"
(with Stéphane Bonhomme). Appeared in Review of Economic Studies, 79,
2012. Earlier version: CEMFI
Working Paper no. 0904, July 2009. Supplementary
Appendix. We are interested in the heterogeneous effect of x on y, when x
is endogenously selected. We show how to nonparametrically identify and
estimate the distribution of the effect from panel data, and apply our method
to study the effect of smoking during pregnancy on weight at birth.
