A Joint Test of Unconfoundedness and Common Trends

open access: yesJournal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We introduce an overidentification test of two alternative assumptions to identify the average treatment effect on the treated in a two‐period panel data setting: unconfoundedness and common trends. Under unconfoundedness, treatment assignment and post‐treatment outcomes are independent, conditional on control variables and pre‐treatment ...

Bayesian Model Averaging in Causal Instrumental Variable Models

open access: yesJournal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Instrumental variables are a popular tool to infer causal effects under unobserved confounding, but choosing suitable instruments is challenging in practice. We propose gIVBMA, a Bayesian model averaging procedure that addresses this challenge by averaging across different sets of instrumental variables and covariates in a structural equation ...

Colourings of Uniform Group Divisible Designs and Maximum Packings

open access: yesJournal of Combinatorial Designs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A weak c $c$‐colouring of a design is an assignment of colours to its points from a set of c $c$ available colours, such that there are no monochromatic blocks. A colouring of a design is block‐equitable, if for each block, the number of points coloured with any available pair of colours differ by at most one.

Fractional List Packing for Layered Graphs

open access: yesJournal of Graph Theory, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The fractional list packing number χ ℓ • ( G ) ${\chi }_{\ell }^{\bullet }(G)$ of a graph G $G$ is a graph invariant that has recently arisen from the study of disjoint list‐colourings. It measures how large the lists of a list‐assignment L : V ( G ) → 2 N $L:V(G)\to {2}^{{\mathbb{N}}}$ need to be to ensure the existence of a “perfectly ...

Hitting Times in the Binomial Random Graph

open access: yesJournal of Graph Theory, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fix k ≥ 2 $k\ge 2$, choose log n n ( k − 1 ) ∕ k ≤ p ≤ 1 − Ω ( log 4 n n ) $\frac{\mathrm{log}n}{{n}^{(k-1)\unicode{x02215}k}}\le p\le 1-{\rm{\Omega }}(\frac{{\mathrm{log}}^{4}n}{n})$, and consider G ~ G ( n , p ) $G\unicode{x0007E}G(n,p)$. For any pair of vertices v , w ∈ V ( G ) $v,w\in V(G)$, we give a simple and precise formula for the ...
