Nonparametric Structural Estimation of Labor Supply in the Presence of Censoring
Liang, Che-Yuan - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Uppsala Universitet - 2009
This paper extends the nonparametric method to estimate labor supply developed by Blomquist and Newey (2002) to handle cases in which there are individuals who do not work. The method is then applied to married women in Sweden from 1973 to 1999. For 1999, I find an aggregate uncompensated wage...

Tax Reform Evaluation Using Nonparametric Methods: Sweden 1980 - 1991
Blomquist, Sören; Eklöf, Matias; Newey, Whitney - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Uppsala Universitet - 1997
This paper evaluates the tax reforms carried out in Sweden between 1980 and 1991. We use a recently developed nonparametric labor supply function to account for the behavorial responses of the taxed individuals. We decompose the tax reform to study how the separate components influence hours of...

Inequality and Trust: Some Inequalities are More Harmful than Others
Gustavsson, Magnus; Jordahl, Henrik - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Uppsala Universitet - 2006
We present new evidence on the influence of income inequality on generalized trust. Using individual panel data from … income inequality and trust is particularly strong for people with a strong aversion against income differentials. We also …

Inequality and Crime: Separating the Effects of Permanent and Transitory Income
Dahlberg, Matz; Gustavsson, Magnus - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Uppsala Universitet - 2005
Earlier studies on income inequality and crime have typically used total income or total earnings. However, it is quite … is therefore to disentangle the two effects by, first, estimating region-specific inequality in permanent and transitory … indicate that it is important to separate the two effects; while an increase in the inequality in permanent income yields a …

IPW estimation and related estimators for evaluation of active labor market policies in a dynamic setting
Vikman, Johan - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Uppsala Universitet - 2014
This paper considers treatment evaluation in a discrete time setting in which treatment could start at any point in time. A typical application is an active labor market policy program which could start after any elapsed unemployment duration. It is shown that various average effects on survival...

Program Evaluation and Random Program Starts
Fredriksson, Peter; Johansson, Per - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Uppsala Universitet - 2002
This paper discusses the evaluation problem using observational data when the timing of treatment is an outcome of a stochastic process. We show that, without additional assumptions, it is not possible to estimate the average treatment effect and treatment on the treated. It is, however,...

Evaluation of Swedish Youth Labour Market Programmes
Larsson, Laura - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Uppsala Universitet - 2000
This paper evaluates two Swedish active labour market programmes for youth, namely youth practice and labour market training. A non-parametric matching approach is applied to estimate the average program effects. Moreover, the results obtained by matching are compared to results from standard...
