In this paper, we develop a test to detect the presence of endogeneity in conditional quantiles. Our test is a Hausman …-type test based on the distance between two estimators, of which one is consistent only under no endogeneity while the other is … consistent regardless of the presence of endogeneity in conditional quantile models. We derive the asymptotic distribution of the …

Cooperation among local governments has been encouraged to enable the aggregation of resources and improved public sector efficiency. However, if cooperation through the joint delivery of local public services is likely to be welfare enhancing for the agglomeration, but will lead to losses for...

The literature shows that temporary international migrants have a high propensity to opt for an entrepreneurial activity upon return, but the prospects of survival of these activities have not been explored. We address this research question using longitudinal Egyptian data. We find that...

This study aims at evaluating the actual profile of marginal productivity across the age groups within the workforce …. As age-productivity profile might differ between occupations, we differentiate the workforce simultaneously by skills … dataset for manufacturing, services and trade sectors. Labour productivity is found to be the lowest for the low-skilled older …

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...
