SUMMARY:Sylvia KLOSIN (UC DAVIS) - "Dynamic Biases of Static Panel Data Estimators"
DESCRIPTION:Applied Micro Seminar : Every Tuesday \nTime: 12:15 pm – 13:30 pm\nDate: May\, 12th\nRoom : 3001 \nSylvia KLOSIN  “Dynamic Biases of Static Panel Data Estimators” \nAbstract :  \nThis paper identifies an important bias — termed dynamic bias — in fixed effects panel estimators that arises when dynamic feedback is ignored in the estimating equation. Dynamic feedback occurs if past outcomes impact current outcomes\, a feature of many settings ranging from economic growth to labor markets. When estimating equations omit past outcomes\, dynamic bias can lead to significantly inaccurate treatment effect estimates\, even with randomly assigned treatments. I show that dynamic bias stems from the estimation of fixed effects\, as their estimation generates confounding in the data. This dynamic bias in simulations is an order of magnitude larger than Nickell bias. To recover consistent treatment effects\, I develop a flexible estimator that provides fixed-T bias correction. I apply this approach to study the impact of temperature shocks on GDP\, a canonical example where economic theory points to an important feedback from past to future outcomes. Accounting for dynamic bias lowers the estimated effects of higher annual temperatures on GDP growth by 10% and GDP levels by 120%. \n  \nOrganizers:\nBenoît SCHMUTZ (Pôle économie du CREST)\nClément MALGOUYRES (Pôle économie du CREST) \nSponsors:\nCREST \n
