Book Description
My dissertation, titled "Essays on Applied Econometrics," develops new methods to analyze economic data and design experiments, and applies them to labor market data. Each chapter answers a real-world question by applying a new econometric method to the data. Chapter 1 studies a policy change to a cash transfer program for the elderly in South Korea. This change doubled the maximum benefit to approximately $200 per month and expanded the target group by 10%. The main estimand is the causal effect of this change on the elderly's labor supply, such as labor force participation and hours of work. I take two approaches to identify the counterfactual outcomes: a potential outcomes analysis and a structural model analysis. I find that the program's change did not affect the labor supply on the intensive or extensive margins significantly. However, if the policymaker were to increase the benefit to about $1000, the estimated structural model implies a significant reduction in labor supply on both the intensive and extensive margins. Chapter 2 introduces a novel method to adaptively design randomized experiments. For randomized experiments with a pilot stage, or multi-stage experiments, [Hahn et al., 2011] propose an adaptive experimental design that adjusts the next stage's propensity score based on data of the previous stages. I discuss how the discretization of covariates affects the precision of the estimation of the average treatment effect (ATE) through the estimated propensity score for the next stage. Also, I propose an algorithm using the bootstrap technique to find the optimal level of discretization of covariates. Monte Carlo simulations and an application with actual data show that the suggested method performs well. Chapter 3 proposes hybrid estimation for the density of fixed censored data. This approach combines a parametrically estimated density function for the censored observations with a nonparametrically estimated density for the uncensored observations. My method is less sensitive to distributional assumptions than conventional parametric methods. I apply my method to estimate the full distributions of fixed right-censored variables, such as annual earnings and the survival time of cystic fibrosis patients.

Book Description
Gary Madden was a renaissance man with respect to the nexus between information and communications technology (ICT) and economics. He contributed to a variety of fields in ICT: applied econometrics, forecasting, internet governance and policy. This series of essays, two of which were co-authored by Professor Madden prior to his untimely death, cover the range of his research interests. While the essays focus on a number of ICT issues, they are on the frontier of research in the sector. Gerard Faulhaber provides a broad overview of how we have reached the digital age and its implications. The applied econometric section brings the latest research in the area, for example Lester Taylor illustrates how own-price, cross-price and income elasticities can be calculated from survey data and translated into real income effects. The forecasting section ranges from forecasting online political participation to broadband’s impact on economic growth. The final section covers aspects of governance and regulation of the ICT sector.
