A sample of recent stuff (AKA reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated)

I am way behind on updating this page, but sometime (I hope this year) I will get all the published papers included in the ``published papers" section, etc.

Wellness Incentives In The Workplace: Cost Savings Through Cost Shifting To Unhealthy Workers. Jill R. Horwitz, Brenna D. Kelly and John E. DiNardo Health Affairs, 32, no.3 (2013):468-476

Fun paper to write, even got criticized by a major corporation (I finally must be doing something right!) Also, when I get around to it, I will try to post links to the heavy blog action at the Health Affairs blog where we had the opportunity to really make some of our arguments more powerfully, especially "our response to a rebuttal of our reply to a previous rebuttal to our original!" and our response to several other rebuttals. (see below)

Some of the most interesting material, IMHO, is our discussion of the world's most famous ``workplace wellness program" (which was based only a few miles from where I lived as a child) which was Henry Ford's ``Sociology Department" and which has a lot of lessons for today. Unfortunately, I signed about 20 pages of legal-ese that threatens to dismember me piece -- by -- piece if I let you access this from this web-page. My co-authors are lawyers, but I am not, and it would seem to be "fair use" to put it up here, but ….

It easy enough to access if you are priveleged to be at a place like UM or any college or university. However, if you are really clever it is easy enough to access if you don't have such priveleges. I never cease to be amazed at how easy it is to get a pdf copy of my own "Econometric Methods" or any econometrics textbook from the ``interweb"!

If you aren't in the mood or your time is more valuable than mine -- a virtual certainty -- , an abstract of the paper is at: http://content.healthaffairs.org/content/32/3/468.abstract

Some of the blog "action"!

After our original article (which was very restrained) Professor Ron Goetzel blogged a response.

then we replied

then Ron Goetzel replied again!

to which we replied

Somewhere there are also a couple of replies to letters to the editor but i am too tired to find those. It does appear that people who disagree with me have tremendously more energy and access to money and resources than I might ever hope to dream of.

Program Evaluation and Research Designs Yet another opportunity to learn from a smarter younger person, David Lee. For the fourth edition of the Handbook of Labor Economics, David Card and Orley Ashenfelter, editors.

"The Effect of an Employer Health Insurance Mandate on Health Insurance Coverage and the Demand for Labor: Evidence from Hawaii" with Thomas C. Buchmueller, and Robert G. Valletta is now an IZA working paper. I, alone among the three co-authors, did not get to do any " on site" research for this project. :-)

"New Evidence on the Finite Sample Properties of Propensity Score Matching and Reweighting Estimators" is now downloadable from the IZA website as IZA Discussion Paper No. 3998. This is one of the papers buried inside our longer one -- Finite Sample Properties of Semiparametric Average Treatment Effect Estimators and is in large part, the product of the two younger, smarter co-authors, trying to explain something to the older, slower co-author.

After a truckload of work by my younger, more ``mata savy", ``parallel processing savy", more intelligent and harder working co-authors on the substantial revisions that were requested before it might be published, it is now forthcoming in RESTAT as New Evidence on the Finite Sample Properties of Propensity Score Matching and Reweighting Estimators with two web appendices: Web Appendix 1 and Web Appendix 2

Lies, Damn Lies, and Pre-Election Polling (original) This is prepared for the AEA Meetings in San Francisco, and should come out in the May 2009, Papers and Proceedings.

• Web Appendix This contains all the web-appendix material referred to in the paper.
• "AER Version" This is the worst version of the paper (in order to accomodate the < 13 page limit, we had to drop references, footnotes, figures, etc.
• "Better Version" This is a much better version and only ever so slightly longer than the AER version. What we would have liked to send to the AER, but they were completely uncompromising. It's far easier to read.
• "gzipped tar file" of programs, data, etc. This has all the data and programs used in the paper.

Finite Sample Properties of Semiparametric Average Treatment Effect Estimators This paper is certainly going to "evolve"; my co-authors are teaching me amazing quantities of stuff about econometrics and statistics and the paper will have to be split into parts someday soon.

It's finally published in the Review of Economics and Statistics

Introductory Remarks on Metastatistics for the Practically Minded Non-Bayesian Regression Runner prepared for the Palgrave Handbook of Econometrics: Vol. 2 Applied Econometrics by Terence C. Mills and Kerry Patterson. (Updated 1 August 2008 with a real "conclusion" and a lot of typo fixes).
