Bias Reducing Estimation of Treatment Effects in the Presence of Partially Mismeasured Data
Labor market policy evaluation studies often rely on a merged database from different administrative entities, where part of the information might be archived with varying quality in different sources. Suppose that one observes inter alia a variable of dubious quality for the entire population and the same variable for a subgroup, say the treated, with good quality from an extra…

The Simple Analytics of U.S. Antidumping Orders: Bureaucratic Discretion, Anti-Importer Bias, and The Byrd Amendment
Using a standard linear version of the Bertrand duopoly model of competition, I analyse the effect on firm pricing behaviour of three prominent features of the U.S. antidumping system. I identify the circumstances under which these features eliminate dumping entirely as well as their effects on the profitability of the import-competing and foreign firms. The Byrd Amendment, which has…

The Effectiveness of Technical Assistance, Socio-Economic Development, and the Absorptive Capacity of Competition Authorities.
Using survey data on technical assistance projects that was collected by the International Competition Network's Competition Policy Implementation Working Group during 2004 and 2005, I estimate the effect of different types of technical assistance on several performance measures of recipient competition authorities.

A prominent international initiative, that has the…
