🚨Updated Working Paper🚨"Probability of Causation with Sample Selection: A Reanalysis of the Impacts of Jóvenes en Acción on Formality" by Possebom and Riva (2024, arxiv.org/abs/2210.01938) If want to know more about my co-author, follow him: Flavio Riva

Looking to hire a talented and dedicated econometrician? I highly recommend Nadja van 't Hoff. We collaborated with Arthur Lewbel on "LiM and the CC-LATE", now R&R at The Review of Economics and Statistics (REStat). In her JMP, Nadja develops novel identification results for settings with non-binary, ordered treatments.
