Applied researchers commonly employ inference methods that are asymptotically valid. However, in many cases, the asymptotic theories assumed in these methods do not satisfactorily approximate the scenarios in which they are utilized. Consequently, we may encounter an excess of false-positive results. This research proposal considers the use of alternative inference methods in scenarios wh…
Differences in differences (DID) is one of the most widely used methods in Economics, and in Social Sciences in general. Although there are many inference methods for DID, the properties of each method depend crucially on the characteristics of the specific empirical application. This project aims at advancing the knowledge about how to draw inference in DID models both by proposing new m…
The synthetic control (SC) method has been recently proposed as an alternative to estimate treatment effects in comparative case studies. The SC relies on the assumption that there is a weighted average of the control units that reconstructs the potential outcome of the treated unit in the absence of treatment. If these weights were known, then one could estimate the counterfactual for th…
This doctoral dissertation is comprised of three separate essays. The first essay tests a channel that could explain part of the association between some non-cognitive characteristics and educational attainment: teachers' assessment practices that unequally evaluate students on the basis of their classroom behavior rather than their scholastic competence. Evidence is drawn from a unique d…
