On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
We consider the identification and inference on a partially linear model, in a data combination environment where researchers have access to two different datasets that can not be matched. This problem arises frequently in various fields in economics, including consumption, education and health. In situations where all of the regressors are available in one of the datasets, which includes two-sample 2SLS as a special case, we use recent results from optimal transport to derive a constructive characterization of the sharp identified set. We build on this result to develop a tractable inference method that is shown to perform well in finite samples. In situations where the regressors are not jointly observed, we propose a tractable characterization of an outer identified set. We show that this set can be quite informative in practice, coincides with the sharp identified set when the distributions are normal, and is amenable to inference using existing tools from the moment inequality literature. Finally, we apply our methodology to study multigenerational income mobility using data from the PSID.
