The empirics of firm heterogeneity and international trade
This article reviews the empirical evidence on firm heterogeneity in international trade. A first
wave of empirical findings from microdata on plants and firms proposed challenges for …

Fast Poisson estimation with high-dimensional fixed effects
In this article, we present ppmlhdfe, a new command for estimation of (pseudo-) Poisson
regression models with multiple high-dimensional fixed effects (HDFE). Estimation is …

Bargaining, sorting, and the gender wage gap: Quantifying the impact of firms on the relative pay of women
There is growing evidence that firm-specific pay premiums are an important source of wage
inequality. These premiums will contribute to the gender wage gap if women are less likely …

Workplace heterogeneity and the rise of West German wage inequality
We study the role of establishment-specific wage premiums in generating recent increases
in West German wage inequality. Models with additive fixed effects for workers and …

Sources of geographic variation in health care: Evidence from patient migration
We study the drivers of geographic variation in US health care utilization, using an empirical
strategy that exploits migration of Medicare patients to separate the role of demand and …

Leave‐out estimation of variance components
We propose leave‐out estimators of quadratic forms designed for the study of linear models
with unrestricted heteroscedasticity. Applications include analysis of variance and tests of …

Common errors: How to (and not to) control for unobserved heterogeneity
Controlling for unobserved heterogeneity (or “common errors”), such as industry-specific
shocks, is a fundamental challenge in empirical research. This paper discusses the …

Global firms
Research in international trade has changed dramatically over the last twenty years, as
attention has shifted from countries and industries towards the firms actually engaged in …

[PDF][PDF] Singletons, cluster-robust standard errors and fixed effects: A bad mix
S Correia - Technical Note, Duke University, 2015 - scorreia.com
Maintaining singleton groups in linear regressions where fixed effects are nested within
clusters can overstate statistical significance and lead to incorrect inference. Due to this …

A distributional framework for matched employer employee data
We propose a framework to identify and estimate earnings distributions and worker
composition on matched panel data, allowing for two‐sided worker‐firm unobserved …
