Unconditional Quantile Treatment Effects in the Presence of Covariates http://www.rand.org/pubs/working_papers/WR816.html 2010-12-06T14:59:00Z 2010-12-06T14:59:00Z Discusses identification of unconditional quantile treatment effects when it is necessary or simply desirable to condition on covariates. Income Taxes, Compensating Differentials, and Occupational Choice: How Taxes Distort the Wage-Amenity Decision http://www.rand.org/pubs/working_papers/WR705.html 2009-10-28T16:36:00Z 2009-10-28T16:36:00Z Introduces a two-step methodology which uses compensating differentials to characterize the tax elasticity of occupational choice. Income Taxes, Compensating Differentials, and Occupational Choice http://www.rand.org/pubs/working_papers/WR705-1.html 2011-01-12T03:59:00Z 2011-01-12T03:59:00Z Introduces a two-step methodology which uses compensating differentials to characterize the tax elasticity of occupational choice. Using Income Tax Changes to Identify the Value of a Statistical Life http://www.rand.org/pubs/working_papers/WR706.html 2009-10-28T16:36:00Z 2009-10-28T16:36:00Z This paper recognizes that compensating differentials are a function of the income tax rate, using this observation to introduce a methodology for estimating compensating differentials with a specific application to the value of a statistical life.

Unconditional Quantile Regression for Panel Data with Exogenous or Endogenous Regressors http://www.rand.org/pubs/working_papers/WR710.html 2009-10-30T16:33:00Z 2009-10-30T16:33:00Z Introduces a quantile estimator for panel data which conditions on the fixed effect for identification purposes but allows the parameters to be interpreted in the same manner as cross-sectional quantile estimates. Estimating Intensive and Extensive Tax Responsiveness http://www.rand.org/pubs/working_papers/WR987.html 2013-04-10T14:30:00Z 2013-04-10T14:30:00Z Studies the impact of income and payroll taxes on intensive and extensive labor supply decisions for workers ages 55-74 using the Health and Retirement Study.
