This paper studies the problem of identification and estimation in nonparametric regression
models with a misclassified binary regressor where the measurement error may be
correlated with the regressors. We show that the regression function is nonparametrically ...

A long-standing question in social science is to what extent differences in management
cause differences in firm performance. To investigate this we ran a management field
experiment on large Indian textile firms. We provided free consulting on modern ...

Abstract India experienced several years of fast economic growth during the 1990s, and
according to many observers this period also saw a considerable decline in poverty,
especially in urban areas. We use data from two rounds of the National Family and Health ...

Abstract: The productivity of firms in developing countries appears to be extremely low. Prior
work, such as that summarized in James Tybout (2000) and World Bank (2004), has
highlighted a set of issues around infrastructure, informality, regulations, trade policies, ...
A Mahajan - Unpublished manuscript, Stanford University, 2003 - elsa.berkeley.edu
Abstract This paper examines the effect of mismeasured discrete regressors in binary choice
models. I examine plausible scenarios for the nature of the measurement error and discuss
identifiability and estimation under various sets of semiparametric assumptions. Under a ...

Abstract: We establish some new interesting stylized facts on the changes in boy versus girl
nutritional status in India during the nineties, a period of rapid economic growth. Our
analysis is based on the comparison, over time and across genders, of the distribution of z ...
A Mahajan - manuscript, Stanford University, 2004 - econ.ucdavis.edu
Abstract This paper studies the problem of parameter identification and estimation in single
index models with a misclassified binary regressor where the measurement error may be
correlated with the regressors in the index. We show that the parameters in the index ...

Abstract Economists have recently argued that time inconsistency may play a central role in
explaining intertemporal behavior, particularly among poor households. However, time-
preference parameters are typically not identified in standard dynamic choice models and ...

Abstract: In this paper, we present results which are part of a larger study carried out in five
districts of the eastern Indian state of Orissa, where endemic malaria represents one of the
most serious public health concerns. One of the study's objectives, designed in ...

At another factory both warp beam elevators had broken down due to poor maintenance. As
a result teams of 7 men carried several warps beams down the stairs every day. This was
slow and dangerous, with two serious accidents in our time at the factory.

Abstract: We study the identification and estimation of key parameters in a basic model of
technology adoption when specifically collected information on subjective beliefs and
expectations about the technology's impact is available. We discuss identification with ...

We construct an individual-level data set of partnership contracts in late-nineteenth-century
Rio de Janeiro to study the determinants of contract terms. Partners with limited liability
contributed more capital and received lower draws for private expenses and lower profit ...

Abstract This paper estimates a price elasticity using a flexible demand specification on
survey data where prices are observed with errors and are correlated with household
characteristics. The demand function is modeled as a polynomial/trigonometric in the ...

Abstract This paper exploits exogenous variation from randomized controlled trials in India
to estimate the effect of social networks on bed net and insecticide-treated bed net (ITN)
adoption. We find some evidence of positive network effects of the free ITN distribution ...

Abstract We describe evidence of limited diffusion of bednet acquisition and usage from
beneficiaries of an ITN distribution program in rural Orissa, India, to households that did not
receive bednets during the intervention. Identification of such network effects relies on the ...

With an estimated 80 million cases of malaria in India annually, the disease is one of the
country's most pervasive and challenging health issues (Korenromp 2005). Malaria is not
only a health issue, but also a major deterrent to economic development (Sachs and ...
