A Stata program for the sensitivity analysis of matching estimators
I have realized a Stata routine program for the implementation of the sensitivity analysis of matching estimators proposed by Ichino, Mealli, and Nannicini (2008, JAE). The program (sensatt.ado) and the related help file (sensatt.hlp) can be downloaded below. Alternatively, within Stata, you can type "net search sensitivity matching" and follow the link. The program can be used and distributed free of charge by anyone if credit is given, but it comes with no guarantee. You can also find the working paper version of the Stata Journal article that explains how to use the program. An ancillary Matlab code (sens_killer.m), whose utilization is explained in the article, is also provided.

5. Other Stuff

"Global in 4 domande" In 2002, I edited a book on Globalization ("Global in 4 Domande", Libertà Eguale Toscana, Giunti Editore) containing 12 inteviews to Nobel Prize laureates (Kenneth Arrow, Lawrence Klein) and economists (Jagdish Baghwati, Tito Boeri, Mario Deaglio, Giorgia Giovannetti, Alessandro Petretto, Dani Rodrik, Aldo Rustichini, Jeffrey Sachs, George Soros, Stefano Zamagni). Most parts of the book (including my introduction) are in Italian, but it also contains the English version of the 4 questions and 8 interviews. CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE BOOK "GLOBAL IN 4 DOMANDE" The book was distributed free of charge by the political association "Libertà Eguale Toscana" and it was reviewed by national media such as "Il Corriere della Sera", "il Riformista", "la Repubblica", "Reset", "Le Ragioni del Socialismo", "La 7". Afterwards, it has been used as an additional reading in some undergraduate courses on globalization studies.
Articles for "Lavoce.info" Since 2003, I have been occasionally writing about issues related to my research interests for the economic policy watchdog website LAVOCE.INFO (founded by TITO BOERI). All the articles are in Italian; some of them are written jointly with my co-authors. - "Elezioni europee: qui non c'è concorrenza", 16/1/2009, CLICK HERE
