Evaluating the Role of Individual Specific Heterogeneity in the Relationship Between Subjective Health Assessments and Income

Fernández-Val, Iván; Savchenko, Yevgeniya; Vella, Francis - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2013

This paper investigates the impact of income on an individual's subjective self-assessment of own health. We employ recently developed methods in the non linear panel data literature to account for the endogeneity of income and the presence of individual heterogeneity. We examine a panel data...

The Dynamics of Social Assistance Benefit Receipt in Britain

Cappellari, Lorenzo; Jenkins, Stephen P. - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2009

We analyze the dynamics of social assistance benefit (SA) receipt among working-age adults in Britain between 1991 and 2005. The decline in the annual SA receipt rate was driven by a decline in the SA entry rate, rather than by the SA exit rate (which actually declined too). We examine the...

Hsiao, Cheng; Pesaran, M. Hashem; Pick, Andreas - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2007

In this paper we discuss tests for residual cross section dependence in nonlinear panel data models. The tests are based on average pair-wise residual correlation coefficients. In nonlinear models, the definition of the residual is ambiguous and we consider two approaches: deviations of the...
