Using Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) "first destinations " data we model two key aspects of individual?s higher education experience. First, we explore where UK university entrants choose to study and what factors influence the decision to migrate to another region to study. We are...

This paper develops a new simulation-based measure of playoff uncertainty and investigates its contribution to modelling match attendance compared to other variants of playoff uncertainty in the existing literature. A model of match attendance that incorporates match uncertainty, playoff...

"Der Beitrag zeigt, wie eine ökonomische Theorie der Fehlzeiten entwickelt werden könnte. Zunächst werden Fehlzeiten als Phänomen des Arbeitsangebots behandelt. Erörtert werden dabei die Struktur des Arbeitskräftepools, aus dem die Betriebe ihre Beschäftigten rekrutieren, die Gestaltung...

Conventional studies of absenteeism concentrate on labor supply. An equilibrium approach, however, establishes that the shadow cost of absenteeism varies across firms that operate different technologies. Using an unusual employee/employer matched data set from France, which records both...

The labour economics literature refers often to effort, but there is little empirical evidence as to how productivity and effort respond to wage rate variations. An unusual natural experiment in which wage rates suffered an exogenous change of two weeks' duration gives some insight into the...

Conventional studies of absenteeism concentrate on labour supply. In this paper we analyse records of worker behaviour which enable us to investigate whether or not demand side effects exist. Using a compensating differentials model, we study how the shadow cost of absenteeism varies across...
