Three Essays on Partial Identification for Applied Health Economics
… three chapters which explore the usefulness of partial identification methods for estimating treatment effects in applied health economics research. Each one applies the methodology to different settings in which establishing causality has traditionally been difficult, and seeks to demonstrate …

Essays in econometrics
… consists of three chapters with a focus on the identification and estimation of causal effects. We consider various empirical strategies that are commonly used in the field of social sciences in general, and in the field of economics in particular. The first chapter considers estimating …

Essays in Computational Econometrics
… improvements. The second essay considers partial identification of counterfactuals in a broad class of models with discrete outcomes and covariates and develops a procedure for computing the identified interval using several new computational tools, including a new algorithm for …

Causal Structure Learning through Double Machine Learning
… true structure. In this thesis, we focus on the partial identification of underlying p causal structure from observational data under minimal assumptions necessary for causal identification. To this end, inspired by Debiasd/Double machine learning machinery, we introduce efficient practical …

Essays on Microeconometrics
… true treatment variable in the instrument. The identification strategy allows for general measurement error. Notably, (i) the measurement error is nonclassical, (ii) it can be endogenous, and (iii) no assumptions are imposed on the marginal distribution of the measurement error, so that I do not …

Revealed Preference Analysis Under Nontransitive Preferences
… the income compensation function, improving the partial identification of both cost-of-living and standard-of-living indexes. The third chapter explores the empirical implications of consumer behavior when preferences are nontransitive and homothetic. We provide a rationalization of the pairwise …

Investigation of a quorum sensing peptide in bacillus licheniformis and its novel antifungal property
… including over-production, purification and partial identification. Subsequently, the potential influence of ComX pheromone and Bacillus cells on the growth of A. flavus was examined and concluded that the QSM could cause a significant reduction in the growth of A. flavus strains (NRRL 3357 …

Essays on the Use of Hedonic Price Models to Measure Welfare for Quality Changes in the Public Goods
… Bounds on demand curves correspond to ranges of partial equilibrium welfare measures for non-marginal changes in environmental quality. We find these ranges to be informative in a preliminary application to evaluating the benefits of reducing cultural eutrophication of lakes in Maine, New …

A Nonparametric Bounds Approach for Hedonic Housing Price Indexes With an Application to the Southern California Market 1996 to 2008
… bounds approach for hedonic housing price models partially identified due to sample selection of an unknown form. To construct bounds for the identification region, I use a nonparametric hedonic housing price model that allows spatial correlation and propose estimators of extreme conditional …

'You are all my people': building disabled community in Uganda's microentrepreneur economy
… The second can be more inclusive, allowing partial identification with those excluded from mainstream disability sociality (especially ‘mad’ people). However, because it relies on non-systematic personal connection, this group's challenges are not thereby fed into the infrastructure or …

Some Selective Inference and Optimization Methods for Reliable Causal Inference
… and observational data, discuss the required identification assumptions and situate our work in this context. The second chapter considers multi-stage adaptive experiments which use already collected data to determine the further course of action. Because the null hypothesis and experimental …

Sex pheromone studies on the grass grub (Costelytra Zealandica (White)) and the common army worm
This thesis describes the identification of a sex pheromone of the grass grub beetle, Costelytra zealandica, and the attempts to use the sex pheromone directly to control grass grub infestations. The partial identification of a sex pheromone of the common armyworm moth, Pseudaletia separata, is …

Investigation of the fate of dietary flavonols in humans and rats using HPLC-MS2 techniques
… facilitated the separation, quantification and partial identification of 18 out of 19 metabolites. The 1 h sample was part of a larger study that investigated the fate of the radiolabelled compounds up to 5 h after dosing. The latter samples formed part of another study not reported on in this …
