Does economic development drive the fertility rebound in OECD countries?

Luci, Angela; Thevenon, Olivier - HAL - 2010

We examine how far changes in fertility trends are related to ongoing economic development in OECD countries. In the … light of the inverse J-shaped relationship between the human development index (HDI) and total fertility rates that was … recently found by Myrskylä, Kohler and Billari (2009), we single out the impact of economic development on fertility. We …

Does Job Insecurity Deteriorate Health? A Causal Approach for Europe

Caroli, Eve; Godard, Mathilde - HAL - 2014

This paper estimates the causal effect of perceived job insecurity { i.e. the fear of involuntary job loss { on health in a sample of men from 22 European countries. We rely on an original instrumental variable approach based on the idea that workers perceive greater job security in countries...

Late Again with Defiers

Chaisemartin, Clément De; D'Haultfoeuille, Xavier - HAL - 2012

We show that the Wald statistic still identifies a causal effect if instrument monotonicity is replaced by a weaker condition, which states that the potential propensities to be treated with or without the instrument should have the same distribution, conditional on potential outcomes. This...

Does public housing occupancy increase unemployment?

Dujardin, Claire; Goffette-Nagot, Florence - HAL - 2008

In order to test for the effect of public housing occupancy on unemployment, we estimate a simultaneous probit model of unemployment and public housing. On a first sample, we instrument public housing with the gender composition of children. On a second sample, the instrument is the share of...

Does public housing occupancy increase unemployment?

Dujardin, Claire; Goffette-Nagot, Florence - HAL - 2009

This paper shows that living in public housing has no effect on the probability of being unemployed in France, once we account for the endogeneity of public housing. We estimate a simultaneous probit model of unemployment and public housing. On a ﬁrst sample for Lyon, we instrument public...

Neighborhood effects on unemployment ? A test à la Altonji

Dujardin, Claire; Goffette-Nagot, Florence - HAL - 2010

The aim of this paper is to test for the influence of neighborhood deprivation on individual unemployment probability in the case of Lyon (France). We estimate a bivariate probit model of unemployment and location in a deprived neighborhood. Our identiﬁcation strategy is twofold. First, we...

High-dimensional instrumental variables regression and confidence sets

Gautier, Eric; Tsybakov, Alexandre - HAL - 2014

We propose an instrumental variables method for inference in high-dimensional structural equations with endogenous regressors. The number of regressors K can be much larger than the sample size. A key ingredient is sparsity, i.e., the vector of coefficients has many zeros, or approximate...

ESTIMATING AGGLOMERATION ECONOMIES WITH HISTORY, GEOLOGY, AND WORKER EFFECTS

Combes, Pierre-Philippe; Duranton, Gilles; Gobillon, Laurent - HAL - 2008

Does productivity increase with density? We revisit the issue usingFrench wage and TFP data. To deal with the ‘endogenous quantity of labour' bias (i.e., urban agglomeration is consequence of high local productivity rather than a cause), we take an instrumental variable approach and introduce...

The empirics of economic geography: How to draw policy implications?

Combes, Pierre-Philippe - HAL - 2010

Using both reduced-form and structural approaches, the spectrum of policy recommendations that can be drawn from empirical economic geography is pretty large. Reduced-form approaches allow the researchers to consider many variables that impact on regional disparities, as long as they are careful...

Moments of IV and JIVE estimators

Davidson, Russell; Mackinnon, James - HAL - 2009

We develop a method based on the use of polar coordinates to investigate the existence of moments for instrumental variables and related estimators in the linear regression model. For generalized IV estimators, we obtain familiar results. For JIVE, we obtain the new result that this estimator...
