Book Essays In Applied Microeconomics

Book excerpt: My dissertation consists of three essays, each of which implements different data specification schemes to econometrically analyze specific topics in the realm of applied microeconomics and microeconometrics. Three separate questions are asked, and economic data is employed to empirically test the validity of alternative answers. These essays are encapsulated in ranging economic fields, but unified in that microeconomic principles and data analysis methods are employed. The initial essay, which is co-authored with Andrew Hussey and Alex Nikolsko-Rzhevskyy, titled "HIV and Recent Trends in Abortion Rates" tests an empirical link between the introduction of HIV/AIDS into the overall population and its possible impact on unwanted pregnancies as realized in lower abortions rates is in the realm of public and health economics. The second essay titled "Greeks Just Want to Have Fun or Do They? Fraternal Membership and College Outcomes" asks whether or not a student's decision to join a Greek organization during their undergraduate college tenure has significant impacts on collegiate outcomes, which delves into the economics of education, peer effects, and public economics. The third essay titled "A Structural Model of the U.S. Orange Juice Market: Alternative Evaluation Methods for Dumping Charges" takes a particular instance where a domestic industry has claimed that foreign producers have dumped products into the United States domestic market and econometrically tests the validity of those claims. This paper's topic is in the realm of international trade, public choice, and public economics.

Book excerpt: This dissertation contains three essays applying microeconometric methods to unique panel datasets to answer economically-motivated research questions at the individual or firm level. The first essay uses microeconometric methods to analyze firm-level data on patenting. The second and third essays use anonymized individual-level credit bureau data to investigate the effects of a national health care policy on financial well-being and borrowing behavior. The first chapter examines the effect of being the target of patent litigation on the efficiency of patenting-intense firms' knowledge production. To test the hypothesis, I construct a new, unique data set by linking firm-level patent, financial, and patent litigation data for any firm with more than 1000 lifetime U.S. patents from 2000-2010. Estimating a dynamic count data model via generalized method of moments (GMM), I find that a 1% increase in patent litigation leads to a small, but statistically significant 0.214% decrease in patent production for small firms relative to large firms. The second chapter analyzes if the passage of the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) dependent coverage mandate in 2010 reduced financial distress for young adults. To test if increased health insurance coverage leads to improvements in financial well-being, I use a large, nationally representative database of anonymized consumer credit report information from the years 2009-2013. I employ a difference-in-differences research design to examine financial outcomes for young adults that were born in 1982-1983 and 1985-1986, with the latter cohort serving as a treatment group. I find that the mandate reduced debt in third-party collections by 3% and bankruptcies by 1.2 per 1000 people for young adults covered by the mandate. These effects are stronger in counties that experienced higher rates of uninsurance and states that experienced higher rates of unemployment at the time the mandate was passed. The estimates also show that these reductions are transitory, as they diminish after an individual ages out of the mandate at age 26. These results are consistent with other recent research showing that the implications of health care policy extend beyond measures of physical health. The third chapter, using similar data and empirical methodology employed by the second chapter, examines the effect of providing health insurance on consumption and borrowing choices of young adults. Using the ACA's 2010 dependent coverage mandate as an exogenous change in medical expenditure risk for those young adults gaining health insurance coverage, empirical estimates show that individuals affected by the mandate increased their use of credit cards, auto loans, and student loans, while also maintaining higher balances on these loans. Coefficient estimates also show that lenders provided affected individuals with higher credit limits and larger loans. These findings suggest that a reduction in medical expenditure risk due to insurance coverage may allow young adults to expand their consumption and borrowing and accept additional financial risks.

Book Essays in Applied Microeconometrics with Applications to Risk taking and Savings Decisions

Download or read book Essays in Applied Microeconometrics with Applications to Risk taking and Savings Decisions written by Steeve Marchand and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis presents three chapters that use and develop microeconometric methods for microdata analysis in economics. The first chapter studies how social interactions influence entrepreneurs' risk-taking decisions. We conduct two risk-taking experiments with young Ugandan entrepreneurs. Between the two experiments, the entrepreneurs participate in a networking activity where they build relationships and discuss with each other. We collect data on peer network formation and on participants' choices before and after the networking activity. We find that participants tend to make more (less) risky choices in the second experiment if the peers they discuss with make on average more (less) risky choices in the first experiment. This suggests that even short term social interactions may affect risk-taking decisions. We also find that participants who make (in)consistent choices in the experiments tend to develop relationships with individuals who also make (in)consistent choices, even when controlling for observable variables such as education and gender, suggesting that peer networks are formed according to unobservable characteristics linked to cognitive ability. The second chapter studies whether tax-preferred saving accounts policies in Canada are suited to all individuals given they different income path and given differences in tax codes across provinces. The two main forms of tax-preferred saving accounts - TEE and EET - tax savings at the contribution and withdrawal years respectively. Thus the relative returns of the two saving vehicles depend on the effective marginal tax rates in these two years, which in turn depend on earning dynamics. This chapter estimates a model of earning dynamics on a Canadian longitudinal administrative database containing millions of individuals, allowing for substantial heterogeneity in the evolution of income across income groups. The model is then used, together with a tax and credit calculator, to predict how the returns of EET and TEE vary across these groups. The results suggest that TEE accounts yield in general higher returns, especially for low-income groups. Comparing optimal saving choices predicted by the model with observed saving choices in the data suggests that EET are over-chosen, especially in the province of Quebec. These results have important implications for "nudging" policies that are currently being implemented in Quebec, forcing employers to automatically enrol their employees in savings accounts similar to EET. These could yield very low returns for low-income individuals, which are known to be the most sensitive to nudging. Finally, the third chapter is concerned with methodological problems often arising in regression discontinuity designs (RDD). It considers the problem of rounding errors in the running variable of RDD, which often make the treatment variable unobservable for some observations around the threshold. While researchers usually discard these observations, I show that they contain valuable information because the outcome's distribution splits in two as a function of the treatment effect. Integrating this information in standard data driven criteria helps in choosing the best model specification and avoid specification biases. This method is promising, especially for improving estimates of causal effects in very large database (where the number of observations discarded can be very large), such as the LAD used in Chapter 2.
