The paper introduces an estimator for the linear censored quantile regression model when the censoring point is an unknown function of a set of regressors. The objective function minimized is convex and the minimization problem is a linear programming problem, for which there is a global...

Treatment effects are often estimated by the least squares estimator controlling for some covariates. This paper investigates its properties. When the propensity score is constant, it is a consistent estimator of the average treatment effects if it is viewed as a semiparametric partially linear...

We estimate a model of the joint participation and mobility along with the individuals' wage formation in France. Our model makes it possible to distinguish between unobserved person heterogeneity and state-dependence. We estimate the model using state of the art Bayesian methods employing a...

Much of the research in labor economics during the 1980s and the early 1990s was devoted to the analysis of changes in the wage structure across many of the world?s economies. Only recently, has research turned to the analysis of mobility in its various guises. From the life cycle perspective,...

A pervasive concern with the use of self-reported health and disability measures in behavioral models is that they are biased and endogenous. A commonly suggested explanation is that survey respondents exaggerate the severity of health problems and incidence of disabilities in order to...
