Econometric methods for distributional policy effects

该项目旨在开发新的计量经济学方法，通过考虑在观测上等同的个人之间的不同政策影响来衡量分配政策的影响。该项目期望在差异差异框架下开发分位数回归方法，以适应审查和样本选择的问题。预计该项目的成果将大大扩大标准平均差异法的范围，并对今后的实证研究作出重大贡献。该项目旨在提供统计上有效的推论程序，并为澳大利亚和其他司法管辖区的利益进行与政策评估有关的模拟活动和实证研究。

This project aims to develop new econometric methods that can measure distributional policy effects by accounting for heterogeneous policy impacts among observationally equivalent individuals. The project expects to develop quantile regression methods under a difference-in-differences framework that accommodates issues of censoring and sample selection. The outcomes of this project are expected to substantially broaden the scope of the standard mean difference-in-differences approach and have significant contributions to empirical studies in the future. The project intends to provide statistically valid inferential procedures and conduct simulation exercise and empirical studies relevant to policy evaluation for the benefit of Australia and other jurisdictions.
