Micro-level determinants of lecture attendance and additional study-hours

Ryan, Martin; Delaney, Liam; Harmon, Colm - 2010

to a greater extent than they determine additional study. Finally, we show that family income and financial transfers … (from both parents and the state) do not determine any educational input. This study suggests that non-cognitive abilities …

The evolution of inequality in education trajectories and graduation outcomes in the US

Belzil, Christian; Hansen, Jörgen; Liu, Xingfei - 2022

Longitudinal Survey of Youths which we follow from 16 to 28. We discuss the evolution of family income and ability effects where … component correlated with family income and background variables. We find that the individual cognitive-technical ability … differential prevailing at 16 was increasing with income in the early 80's but much less so in the early 2000's. We find no …

The causal effects of adolescent school : bullying victimisation on later life outcomes

Gorman, Emma; Harmon, Colm; Mendolia, Silvia; Staneva, Anita - 2019

We use rich data on a cohort of English adolescents to analyse the long-term effects of experiencing bullying victimisation in junior high school. The data contain self-reports of five types of bullying and their frequency, for three waves of the data, when the pupils were aged 13 to 16 years....

Subjective discount rates, intergenerational transfers and the return to schooling

Belzil, Christian; Hansen, Jörgen - 1999

Using a dynamic programming model of schooling decisions, we investigate the relationship between subjective discount rates and the labor market ability (the discount rate bias) on a panel taken from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY). Given household human capital and Armed Forces...

Earnings dispersion, risk aversion and eduation

Belzil, Christian; Hansen, Jörgen - 2002

We estimate a dynamic programming model of schooling decisions in which the degree of risk aversion can be inferred from schooling decisions. In our model, individuals are heterogeneous with respect to school and market abilities but homogeneous with respect to the degree of risk aversion. We...

Estimating complementarity between education and training

Belzil, Christian (contributor); Hansen, Jörgen (contributor) - 2008

In this paper, we formulate and estimate a structural model of post-schooling training that explicitly allows for possible complementarity between initial schooling levels and returns to training. Precisely, the wage outcome equation depends on accumulated schooling and on the incidence of...

The distinction between dictatorial and incentive policy interventions and its implication for IV estimation

Belzil, Christian; Hansen, Jörgen - 2010

We investigate if, and under which conditions, the distinction between dictatorial and incentive-based policy interventions affects the capacity of Instrument Variable (IV) methods to estimate the relevant treatment effect parameter of an outcome equation. The analysis is set in a non-trivial...

The timing of earnings sampling over the life-cycle and IV identification of the return to schooling

Belzil, Christian; Hansen, Jörgen - 2012

We show that within a life-cycle skill accumulation model, IV identification of the return to schooling parameter is either achieved at any point in the life-cycle where the level of skills accumulated beyond school completion for compliers is exactly equal to the post-schooling skill level of...
