We test potential social costs of educational inequality by analysing the influence of spatial and social segregation on educational achievements. In particular, based on recent PISA data sets from the UK and Germany, we investigate whether good neighbourhoods with a relatively high stock of...

We provide new results regarding the identification of peer effects. We consider an extended version of the linear … cases, we provide easy-to-check necessary and sufficient conditions for identification. We show that endogenous and … exogenous effects are generally identified under network interaction, although identification may fail for some particular …

This paper studies the identification and estimation of preferences and technologies in equilibrium hedonic models. In …. Separability conditions facilitate identification of consumer marginal utility and firm marginal product functions. We also … consider how identification is facilitated using multimarket data. …

A fundamental identification problem in program evaluation arises when idiosyncratic gains from participation and the …, identification hinges on the same monotonicity assumption that is fundamentally untestable. We investigate the sensitivity of …

Each year Germany and many other developed economies spend tens of billions of Euros on active measures of employment promotion with the explicit aim of contributing to the reduction of unemployment. Yet, high unemployment has universally been a persistent problem throughout the last two...

It turns out that the identification problem in the decomposition equation is a disguised identification …. The identification problem is automatically resolved once we obtain "normalized" regression equations for two comparison …

Because their departures are difficultly observed, little is known about the performance of immigrants who leave a region and move to another. This paper shows conditions under which the (conditional) outmigration probability, work probability and the expected earnings of outmigrants are...

We estimate the effect of age of school entry on educational attainment using three different data sets for Germany, sampling pupils at the end of primary school, in the middle of secondary school and several years after secondary school. Results are obtained based on instrumental variable...
