在美国联邦系统中，有许多实证研究利用了政策在空间和时间上的变化。如果国家政策的制定是有目的的行动，对国家内部的经济和政治条件作出反应，那么就有必要识别和控制导致这些政策变化的力量。本文研究了政策内隐性对一个特定政策背景--工人补偿福利的影响。我们对比了不同的估计方法及其在这方面的利弊。
There are numerous empirical studies that exploit variation in policies over space and time in the U.S. federal system. If state policy making is purposeful action, responsive to economic and political conditions within the state, then it is necessary to identify and control for the forces that lead to these policy changes. This paper investigates the implications of policy endogeneity for a specific policy context - workers' compensation benefits. We contrast different methods of estimation and their pros and cons in this context.
