A Simulation of an Income Contingent Tuition Scheme in a Transition Economy
Vodopivec, Milan - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2004
The paper takes advantage of exceptionally rich longitudinal data on the universe of labor force participants in Slovenia and simulates the working of an income contingent loan scheme to partly recover tuition costs. The simulations show that under the base variant (where the target cost...

Simulation and Estimation of Hedonic Models
Heckman, James J.; Matzkin, Rosa; Nesheim, Lars - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2003
Making use of restrictions imposed by equilibrium, theoretical progress has been made on the nonparametric and semiparametric estimation and identification of scalar additive hedonic models (Ekeland, Heckman, and Nesheim, 2002) and scalar nonadditive hedonic models (Heckman, Matzkin, and...

Traits, Imitation, and Evolutionary Dynamics
Schnedler, Wendelin - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2003
In this article, a modelling framework for the information transmission between agents in an evolutionary game setting is proposed. Agents observe traits which reflect past and present behaviour and success of other agents. If agents imitate more successful agents based on these traits, the...

Calculating Confidence Intervals for Continuous and Discontinuous Functions of Estimated Parameters
Ham, John C.; Woutersen, Tiemen - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2011
The delta method is commonly used to calculate confidence intervals of functions of estimated parameters that are differentiable with non-zero, bounded derivatives. When the delta method is inappropriate, researchers usually first use a bootstrap procedure where they i) repeatedly take a draw...
