Using the 1990-1992 wave of the French Labor Force Survey, this paper analyzes the effects of different factors on the probability of leaving unemployment of French young people. It also studies duration dependence of the hazard rate while controlling for unobserved heterogeneity separately for...

In this paper we propose a pension policy that would isolate the social security system from any financial crisis resulting from changes in population structure. This policy consists of linking social security benefits to the fertility behaviour of the individual.

This note argues that a Bayesian framework is almost inescapable when specifying statistical models of the LISREL type …, i.e. models involving not only latent and manifest variables but also incidental parameters. Indeed, a careful …

In this paper, we develop a Bayesian analysis of a semi-parametric binary choice model. The prior specification of the functional parameter, namely the distribution function of a latent variable, is of the Dirichlet process type and the prior specification of the Euclidean parameter, namely the...

Five different identification problems in mixture models are made explicit. Necessary and sufficient relationships … first particularized under a normality assumption and then used for LISREL models. …

We present and study a mixed integer programing model that arises as a sub-structure in any industrial applications. This model provides a relaxation of various capacitated production planning problems, more general fixed charge network flow problems, and other structured mixed integer programs....

In the empirical analysis of financial time series, multivariate GARCH models have been used in various forms. In most … investigate the structural implications of two alternative models for the response of the conditional (co-)variances to … independent shocks. The impulse response analysis, adopted to volatility models, appears to be a convenient methodology to obtain …

We propose a structural econometric evaluation for auctions with discrete increments. Although very common in practice, this kind of mechanism raises many theoretical difficulties. First, there are no closed form equilibriumstrategies. Thus the econometrician cannot rely on a single formula to...
