Economics (general)Double Post-Lasso High-Dimensional Covariate SelectionThe automated procedure selected only 4 baseline variables out of 43 (prior vacancies, prior permanent hires, prior fixed-term hires, and sector indicators), yielding identical treatment effect point estimates (+0.047 for permanent hires) and standard errors (0.022).RCTEconomics (general)Extreme Value Top-Coding Truncation ProtocolCapping administrative distributions at the 99th percentile eliminated extreme hiring outliers, ensuring linear treatment effect estimates (+0.047 vacancies, +0.046 hires) reflected representative firm behavior across the sample.RCT
