Abstract
This paper provides partial identification results for the marginal treatment effect (MTE) when the binary treatment variable is potentially misreported and the instrumental variable is discrete. Identification results are derived under smoothness assumptions. Bounds for both the case of misreported treatment and the case of no misreported treatment are derived. The identification results are illustrated by identifying the marginal treatment effects of food stamps on health.
期刊介绍:
Whilst the Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics publishes papers in all areas of applied economics, emphasis is placed on the practical importance, theoretical interest and policy-relevance of their substantive results, as well as on the methodology and technical competence of the research.
Contributions on the topical issues of economic policy and the testing of currently controversial economic theories are encouraged, as well as more empirical research on both developed and developing countries.
