estimate the effect of Wal-Mart entry on retail employment at the county level. Using an instrumental-variables approach to correct for both measurement error in entry dates and possible endogeneity of the timing of entry‚ I find that Wal-Mart entry increases retail employment by 100 jobs in the year of entry.
