Fortin, Bernard; Lacroix, Guy; Villeval, Marie-Claire - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Analyse des … - 2004

The paper extends the standard tax evasion model by allowing for social interactions. In Manski's (1993) nomenclature, our model takes into account social conformity effects (i.e., endogenous interactions), fairness effects (i.e., exogenous interactions) and sorting effects (i.e., correlated...

Male-Female Productivity Differentials: The Role of Ability and Incentives

Paarsch, Harry J.; Shearer, Bruce S. - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Analyse des … - 2004

We consider the response to incentives as an explanation for productivity differences within a firm that paid its …: one due to differences in ability and the other due to differences in the response to incentives. We apply this … that individuals do react differently to incentives. However, while the women in our sample reacted slightly more to …

Compensation Policy and Worker Performance: Identifying Incentive Effects from Field Experiments

Shearer, Bruce S. - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Analyse des … - 2003

The role of field experiments in evaluating the effect of compensation policies on worker productivity is considered. Particular attention is paid to the ability of a field experiment to identify the effect of a permanent change in firm policy. While field experiments solve endogeneity problems...

Earnings Dispersion, Risk Aversion and Education

Belzil, Christian; Hansen, Jörgen - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Analyse des … - 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...

Unobserved Ability and the Return to Schooling

Belzil, Christian; Hansen, Jörgen - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Analyse des … - 2002

We estimate a structural dynamic programming model of schooling decisions with unobserved heterogeneity in school ability and market ability on a sample taken from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY). Both the instantaneous utility of attending school and the wage regression...

Heterogeneous Returns to Human Capital and Dynamic Self-Selection

Belzil, Christian; Hansen, Jörgen - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Analyse des … - 2001

We estimate a structural dynamic programming model of schooling decisions and obtain individual specific estimates of the local (and average) returns to schooling as well as the returns to experience. Homogeneity of the returns to human capital is strongly rejected in favor of a discrete...

Estimating the Intergenerational Education Correlation from a Dynamic Programming Model

Belzil, Christian; Hansen, Jörgen - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Analyse des … - 2001

Using a structural dynamic programming model, we investigate the relative importance of initial household human capital endowments and unobserved individual abilities in explaining cross-sectional differences in schooling attainments and wages. We evaluate the true intergenerational education...
