Cultural Transmission of Work-Welfare Attitudes and the Intergenerational Correlation in Welfare Receipt

Baron, Juan D. - 2011

This paper considers the potential for the cultural transmission of attitudes toward work, welfare, and individual responsibility to explain the intergenerational correlation in welfare receipt. Specifically, we investigate whether 18-year olds' views about social benefits and the drivers of...

Dynamic Skill Accumulation, Comparative Advantages, Compulsory Schooling, and Earnings

Belzil, Christian - 2011

We show that a calibrated dynamic skill accumulation model allowing for comparative advantages, can explain the weak (or negative) effects of schooling on productivity that have been recently reported (i) in the micro literature on compulsory schooling, ii) in the micro literature on estimating...

The Return to Schooling in Structural Dynamic Models : A Survey

Belzil, Christian - 2006

This paper contains a survey of the recent literature devoted to the returns to schooling within a dynamic structural framework. I present a historical perspective on the evolution of the literature, from early static models set in a selectivity framework (Willis and Rosen, 1979) to the recent...

Testing the Specification of the Mincer Wage Equation

Belzil, Christian - 2021

I perform the joint estimation of a reduced-form dynamic model of the transition from one grade level to the next, and a Mincer wage equation, using panel data taken from the NLSY. A very high degree of flexibility is achieved by approximating the distributions of idiosyncractic grade transition...

A Structural Analysis of the Correlated Random Coefficient Wage Regression Model with an Application to the Ols-Iv Puzzle

Belzil, Christian; Hansen, Jorgen - 2021

We estimate a finite mixture dynamic programming model of schooling decisions in which the log wage regression function is set within a correlated random coefficient model and we use the structural estimates to perform counterfactual experiments. We show that the estimates of the dynamic...
