论文摘要
群集塑性推理的方法通常用于经济学和许多其他学科。但是，直到最近，在许多经验相关情况下使用这些方法的理论基础才得到开发。在本文中，我们使用这些理论结果为经验实践提供指南。我们不会尝试对（非常大的）文献进行全面的调查。取而代之的是，我们通过根据最近可用的计量经济学理论和模拟证据提供了有关该做什么和为什么的详尽指南来弥合理论和实践。为了实践我们的讲道，我们包括对使用单个数据的最低工资对青少年劳动力供应的影响的经验分析。
Methods for cluster-robust inference are routinely used in economics and many other disciplines. However, it is only recently that theoretical foundations for the use of these methods in many empirically relevant situations have been developed. In this paper, we use these theoretical results to provide a guide to empirical practice. We do not attempt to present a comprehensive survey of the (very large) literature. Instead, we bridge theory and practice by providing a thorough guide on what to do and why, based on recently available econometric theory and simulation evidence. To practice what we preach, we include an empirical analysis of the effects of the minimum wage on labor supply of teenagers using individual data.
