Permanent link: | http://hdl.handle.net/10197/1866 | Date: | 15-Dec-2008 | Abstract: | We use the control function approach to identify the average treatment effect and the effect of treatment on the treated in models with a continuous endogenous regressor whose impact is heterogeneous. We assume a stochastic polynomial restriction on the form of the heterogeneity but, unlike alternative nonparametric control function approaches, our approach does not require large support assumptions. | Funding Details: | National Science Foundation National Institutes of Health Economic and Social Research Council Centre for Fiscal policy at the IFS |
