This paper develops two methods for estimating the effect of schooling on achievement test scores that control for the endogeneity of schooling by postulating that both schooling and test scores are generated by a common unobserved latent ability. These methods are applied to data on schooling...

Abstract: In this paper, we review classical and advanced methodologies for analysing within-subject functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data. Such data are usually acquired during sensory or cognitive experiments that aims at stimulating the subject in the scanner and eliciting evoked...

Using data from Spanish Social Security records, we investigate the returns to experience in different flexible work arrangements, including part-time and full-time work, and permanent and fixed-term contracts. We use a trivariate random effects model which consists of a three-equation system...

The Wang-Landau algorithm aims at sampling from a probability distribution, while penalizing some regions of the state space and favouring others. It is widely used, but its convergence properties are still unknown. We show that for some variations of the algorithm, the Wang-Landau algorithm...
