Job Turnover and the Returns to Seniority

Dostie, Benoit - Econometric Society - 2004

In this paper, we match firm data to individual work history files in order to simultaneously estimate the wage and employment duration processes of a longitudinal sample of two million French workers employed in roughly one million firms and followed over twenty years. The particular structure...

Wage Differentials Between Union and Non-union Workers: An Econometric Analysis

Shanmugam, K.R.; Madheswaran, S. - Econometric Society - 2004

Abstract It is increasingly recognized that institutional factors such as trade unions do play a dominant role in determining the levels of wages, standard of working conditions. This is more pronounced in the industrial sector of developing economies. The role of labor organizations in the...

Joint estimation of sequential labor force participation and fertility decisions using Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques

Buddelmeyer, Hielke; Troske, Kenneth - Econometric Society - 2004

Three basic mechanisms are behind the statistical relationship between fertility decisions and labor force participation decisions. 1) Causal direct effect: the time spent in child-care reduces the labor market effort leading to a temporary drop in post-birth labor force participation. 2) Causal...

Estimating Measurement Error in SIPP Annual Job Earnings: A Comparison of Census Survey and SSA Administrative Data

Stinson, Martha - Econometric Society - 2004

This paper seeks to quantify sources of variation in annual job earnings data collected by the 1996 Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) and to determine how much of the variation is the result of measurement error. To this end, jobs reported in the SIPP are linked to jobs reported...

Endogeneity in Nonlinear Regressions with Integrated Time Series

Park, Joon Y.; Chang, Yoosoon - Econometric Society - 2004

squares estimator under such endogeneity for the regressions with the integrable or asymptotically homogeneous regression … the estimator is consistent and has the same rate of convergence as for the case of the regressions with no endogeneity …. Whether or not the limiting distribution is affected by the presence of endogeneity, however, depends upon the type of the …

Identification of sensitivity to variation in endogenous variables

Chesher, Andrew - Econometric Society - 2004

This lecture explores conditions under which there is identification of the impact on an outcome of exogenous variation in a variable which is endogenous when data are gathered. The starting point is the Cowles Commission linear simultaneous equations model. The parametric and additive error...

Endogeneity in Quantile Regression Models: A Control Function Approach

Lee, Sokbae - Econometric Society - 2004

adjusts for endogeneity by adopting a control function approach and presents a simple two-step estimator that exploits the …

TOPOLOGIES OF SOCIAL INTERACTIONS

Ioannides, Yannis M. - Econometric Society - 2004

We examine in this paper the role of an economy's social interaction structure, defined as a graph. Individuals care about the decisions of their neighbors. We extend the behavioral discrete-response rules along the lines of the interactive discrete choice model of Brock and Durlauf (2001) to...

University Prestige and Choice of Major Field: Evidence from South Korea

Kang, Changhui - Econometric Society - 2004

Unlike previous studies on major choice of university students, this study considers a university's prestige in their choice of a major field. This study sets up an estimation model for a joint decision about where to go to university (prestigious or non-prestigious) and what major field to...

Estimating Dynamic Models of Imperfect Competition

Bajari, Pat; Benkard, Lanier - Econometric Society - 2004

We describe a two-step algorithm for estimating dynamic games where the agents are assumed to play a Markov Perfect equilibrium. In the first step, the policy functions and the law of motion for the state variables are estimated. In the second step, the remaining structural parameters are...
