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...

A structural analysis of the correlated random coefficient wage regression model with an application to the ols-iv puzzle
Belzil, Christian (contributor); Hansen, Jörgen (contributor) - 2005
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...

Dynamic skill accumulation, comparative advantages, compulsory schooling, and earnings
Belzil, Christian; Hansen, Jörgen; Liu, Xingfei - 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 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...
