Introduction and Motivation: Definition and estimation of causal effects. Example of linking theory to empirics and defining a causal question in the study of wage distributions.
1. Empirical Analysis in Economics: Causation vs. correlation. The experimental setup and solution to the identification problem. A simultaneous equations reminder. Causal or descriptive evidence in regression analysis? The search for additional control variables (and the matching approach) as opposed to the search for exogenous sources of identification (and the instrumental variables and sample selection approaches). Natural experiments. Group-level variation and identification (including difference in differences). Regression discontinuity. Matching.
2. Labor Supply and Human Capital: The decision to work in economic theory: static and life cycle labor supply. Empirical methods: from Tobit to Heckman's sample selection correction. Difference in differences by Eissa and Liebman (1996). Income elasticity, not hours. Household production and leisure. Job search. Human capital: Mincerian returns: Card (2000). Relative supply of labor and wage inequality: Card and Lemieux (2001).
3. Discrimination: The theory: taste-based discrimination (Becker, 1957) and statistical discrimination (Phelps, 1972, and Arrow, 1973). Descriptive empirics: the Oaxaca-Blinder decompositions and the wage gap studies (Olivetti and Petrongolo, 2005). Wage gap and segregation. Czech labor-market gender facts. Testing for Discrimination: Competition and discrimination. Wage gaps and pre-market characteristics (Neal and Johnson, 1996). Tests of statistical discrimination (Altonji and Pierret, 2001). Direct tests in specific settings: in sports, in arts (Goldin and Rouse, 2001), in field studies (Bertrand and Mullainathan, 2003). |
