  • Measurement Systems
    Measurement systems Susanne Schennach The Institute for Fiscal Studies Department of Economics, UCL cemmap working paper CWP12/21 Measurement systems Susanne Schennach∗ Brown University March 6, 2021 Abstract Economic models often depend on quantities that are unobservable, either for privacy reasons or because they are difficult to measure. Examples of such variables include human capital (or ability), personal income, unobserved het- erogeneity (such as consumer “types”), etc. This situation has historically been handled either by simply using observable imperfect proxies for each the unob- servables, or by assuming that such unobservables satisfy convenient conditional mean or independence assumptions that enable their elimination from the esti- mation problem. However, thanks to tremendous increases in both the amount of data available and computing power, it has become possible to take full advan- tage of recent formal methods to infer the statistical properties of unobservable variables from multiple imperfect measurements of them. The general framework used is the concept of measurement systems in which a vector of observed variables is expressed as a (possibly nonlinear or nonparamet- ric) function of a vector of all unobserved variables (including unobserved error terms or “disturbances” that may have non additively separable affects). The framework emphasizes important connections with related fields, such as non- linear panel data, limited dependent variables, game theoretic models, dynamic models and set-identification. This review reports the progress made towards the central question of whether there exist plausible assumptions under which one can identify the joint distribution of the unobservables from the knowledge of the joint distribution of the observables. It also overviews empirical efforts aimed at exploiting such identification results to deliver novel findings that for- mally account for the unavoidable presence of unobservables.

We begin with a brief overview of the theory which illustrates that evidence of a causal relationship between a shock in early childhood and a future outcome says little about whether the relationship in question biological or immutable.

  • 1 Nobel Autobiography Angus Deaton, Princeton, February 2016 Scotland
    Nobel Autobiography Angus Deaton, Princeton, February 2016 Scotland I was born in Edinburgh, in Scotland, a few days after the end of the Second World War. Both my parents had left school at a very young age, unwillingly in my father’s case. Yet both had deep effects on my education, my father influencing me toward measurement and mathematics, and my mother toward writing and history. The school in the Yorkshire mining village in which my father grew up in the 1920s and 1930s allowed only a few children to go to high school, and my father was not one of them. He spent much of his time as a young man repairing this deprivation, mostly at night school. In his village, teenagers could go to evening classes to learn basic surveying and measurement techniques that were useful in the mine. In Edinburgh, later, he went to technical school in the evening, caught up on high school, and after many years and much difficulty, qualified as a civil engineer. He was determined that I would have the advantages that he had been denied. My mother was the daughter of William Wood, who owned a small woodworking business in the town of Galashiels in the Scottish Borders. Although not well-educated, and less of an advocate for education than my father, she was a great story-teller (though it was sometimes hard to tell the stories from gossip), and a prodigious letter- writer. She was proud of being Scottish (I could make her angry by saying that I was British, and apoplectic by saying that I was English), and she loved the Borders, where her family had been builders and carpenters for many generations.

Yes; we have made much progress over the last 6-months. This report outlines our recent and upcoming activities. (2) If not, what are obstacles or challenges impacting the time line? While we have made much progress, our primary obstacle is scheduling events given the busy schedules of working group leaders and members. However, conference call and webinar technology has helped resolve this challenge. As previously noted, due to cost-sharing with the Becker Friedman Institute for Research in Economics, as well as co-sponsorship of events, our spending has been slower than anticipated. For this reason, we expect to request a no-cost extension closer to the end of the award (12/2013). (3) Is the work developing as anticipated? Yes; the work is developing better than expected given our ambitious, long-term goals. Our accomplishments include 18 conferences, workshops, and webinars that have brought together disparate thinkers to address fundamental inequality issues. (Further detail on these activities can be found in the report.) Further, we have 54 working papers that have been viewed 1,724 times, and downloaded 1,127 times.

In the first essay, I examine how college students' major choice and major switching behavior responds to major-specific labor market shocks. The second essay explores the incidence and persistence of overeducation for workers in the United States. The final essay examines the role that students' cognitive and non-cognitive skills play in their transition from secondary to postsecondary education, and how the effect of these skills are moderated by race, gender, and socioeconomic status. iv To my loved ones: for always supporting me v Contents Abstract iv List of Tables ix List of Figures xi Acknowledgements xii 1 Introduction1 2 Shocked out of Your Major: Do Labor Market Shocks Prompt Ma- jor Switching?4 2.1 Labor market shocks..........................

  • DECEMBER 2015 8 Lars Peter Hansen in March 1979, Lars Peter Hansen, a Young Ph.D
    DECEMBER 2015 8 Lars Peter Hansen In March 1979, Lars Peter Hansen, a young Ph.D. fresh out of the University of Minnesota, submitted a paper to the prestigious Economet- rica. It described a statistical methodology that, in its final form, would allow economists to draw strong conclusions from models that weren’t completely specified (that is, not all variables, relationships or assump- tions were included or precisely defined). This “generalized method of moments” would give econometricians the ability to appraise alternative theories and investigate important economic phenomena without fully developing each of their elements. Researchers could rely on the most powerful explanatory variables and dispense with unnecessary assumptions. “GMM allows you to ‘do some- thing without having to do everything simultaneously,’” Hansen explains. But the GMM—abstract and mathematically challenging—was not immediately embraced by the field. (Indeed, Hansen’s initial draft was rejected by Econometrica, spurring him to refine and generalize his argument.) Hansen and his colleagues persevered, demonstrating the methodology’s power and range by applying it to exchange rates, as- set pricing models and rational expectations theory. These and other examples gradually convinced economists of its utility and, with time, GMM became the gold standard. In 2013, Hansen received the Nobel Prize in economic sciences for his methodology, specifically in reference to its ability to evaluate asset pricing models. Hansen continues to study asset prices, focusing on linkages be- tween financial markets and the broader macroeconomy. Recent work looks at uncertainty and risk tolerance in asset pricing behavior; he’s also developed methods to analyze and account for the uncertainty of the households and businesses that populate economic models, and also for the uncertainty that econometricians have about the adequacy of their models.

  • Stochastic Revealed Preferences with Measurement Error∗
    Stochastic Revealed Preferences with Measurement Error∗ Victor H. Aguiar† Nail Kashaev† [email protected] [email protected] First version received April 2018; Final version accepted June 2020. Abstract A long-standing question about consumer behavior is whether individu- als’ observed purchase decisions satisfy the revealed preference (RP) axioms of the utility maximization theory (UMT). Researchers using survey or experimental panel data sets on prices and consumption to answer this question face the well-known problem of measurement error. We show that ignoring measurement error in the RP approach may lead to overrejection of the UMT. To solve this problem, we pro- pose a new statistical RP framework for consumption panel data sets that allows for testing the UMT in the presence of measurement error. Our test is applicable to all consumer models that can be characterized by their first-order conditions. Our approach is nonparametric, allows for unrestricted heterogeneity in preferences, and requires only a centering condition on measurement error. We develop two applica- tions that provide new evidence about the UMT. First, we find support in a survey data set for the dynamic and time-consistent UMT in single-individual households, in the presence of nonclassical measurement error in consumption. In the second ap- plication, we cannot reject the static UMT in a widely used experimental data set in which measurement error in prices is assumed to be the result of price misperception due to the experimental design. The first finding stands in contrast to the conclu- sions drawn from the deterministic RP test of Browning (1989). The second finding reverses the conclusions drawn from the deterministic RP test of Afriat (1967) and Varian (1982).
