CKF Coalitions Propel Policy and Procedural Changes

Examines how grantees of RWJF's project to increase enrollment in Medicaid and State Children's Health Insurance Programs formed coalitions of community groups, government agencies, and others; what types of policy change they achieved; and for how long

On the robustness of fixed effects and related estimators in correlated random coefficient panel data models.

I show that a class of fixed effects estimators is reasonably robust for estimating the population-averaged slope coefficients in panel data models with individual-specific slopes, where the slopes are allowed to be correlated with the covariates. In addition to including the usual fixed effects estimator, the results apply to estimators that eliminate individual-specific trends. Further, asymptotic variance matrices are straightforward to estimate. I apply the results, and propose alternative estimators, to estimation of average treatment in a general class of unobserved effects models.
