The Effect of Disability on Labour Market Outcomes in Germany: Evidence from Matching
Lechner, Michael; Vazquez-Alvarez, Rosalia - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2004
If labour market policies aimed at people with disabilities are effective, we should observe no significant difference in labour market outcomes between disabled and non-disabled individuals. This Paper examines the impact of disability status on labour market outcomes using matching methods...

The Missing Transfers: Estimating Mis-reporting in Dyadic Data
Comola, Margherita; Fafchamps, Marcel - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2015
Many studies have used self-reported dyadic data without exploiting the pattern of discordant answers. In this paper we propose a maximum likelihood estimator that deals with mis-reporting in a systematic way. We illustrate the methodology using dyadic data on inter-household transfers from the...

Short-Term Inflation Projections: a Bayesian Vector Autoregressive approach
Giannone, Domenico; Lenza, Michele; Momferatou, Daphne; … - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2010
In this paper, we construct a large Bayesian Vector Autoregressive model (BVAR) for the Euro Area that captures the complex dynamic inter-relationships between the main components of the Harmonized Index of Consumer Price (HICP) and their determinants. The model is estimated using Bayesian...

Carriero, Andrea; Kapetanios, George; Marcellino, … - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2009
The paper addresses the issue of forecasting a large set of variables using multivariate models. In particular, we propose three alternative reduced rank forecasting models and compare their predictive performance for US time series with the most promising existing alternatives, namely, factor...

Matching with Trade-offs: Revealed Preferences over Competing Characteristics
Galichon, Alfred; Salanié, Bernard - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2010
We investigate in this paper the theory and econometrics of optimal matchings with competing criteria. The surplus from a marriage match, for instance, may depend both on the incomes and on the educations of the partners, as well as on characteristics that the analyst does not observe. The...

Temporal Aggregation Bias in Stock-Flow Models
Burdett, Kenneth; Coles, Melvyn G; Ours, Jan C van - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1994
The matching function describes the flow of job creation as a function of the stocks of unemployed and vacancies. Most empirical work tries to identify such a relationship by regressing the flow of matches (aggregated over the month) on the stocks of unemployment and vacancies measured at the...
