The aim of this paper is to test for the persistence landlord-tenant energy efficiency problem in residential rental property market presence information on performance. To do this, we compare and non-rental properties using a combination Coarsened Exact Matching (CEM) parametric regression. We use sample 585,578 Republic Ireland - region that legally requires display performance certificates w...

Abstract Web questionnaires are increasingly used to complement traditional data collection in mixed mode surveys. However, the utilization of web raises concerns whether lead mode-specific measurement bias. We argue that magnitude bias strongly depends on content a variable. Based Luxembourgish Labour Force Survey, we investigate differences between and telephone terms objective (i.e., Employm...

While the literature generally concludes that Big N auditors provide higher audit quality than nonBig N auditors, an unresolved question is whether this Big N effect is driven by self-selection. In particular, a recent high profile study suggests that Propensity Score Matching (PSM) on a set of commonly examined client characteristics causes Big N quality differentiation to disappear (Lawrence,...

Results of our research study conducted before Croatia joined the Erasmus program in 2010 suggested that experience internationalization might affect ESP students’ attitudes, learning priorities and motivation. To establish whether generations participated academic mobility programs differ from their pre-Erasmus peers, we repeated original 2009: Business economics attitudes to English, L2 motiv...

The estimation of spatial intensity and relative risk are important inference problems in spatial epidemiologic studies. A standard component of data assimilation in these studies is the assignment of a geocode, i.e. point-level spatial coordinates, to the address of each subject in the study population. Unfortunately, when geocoding is performed by the pervasive method of street-segment matchi...

This paper investigates the impact of airport managerial type and airline market structure on efficiency. It explores whether shares largest airlines differ depending airport. In this study, efficiency scores for sample are measured through DEA (Data Envelop Analysis), impacts dominant carrier share subsequently estimated CEM (Coarsened Exact Matching). concludes that group airports more effici...

We consider the problem of estimating causal effects from observational data and propose a novel framework for matchingand weighting-based causal estimators. The framework is based on expressing the bias of a causal estimator as an operator on the unknown conditional expectation function of outcomes and formulating the dual norm of the bias as the norm of this operator with respect to a functio...
