Determinants and Policy Simulation of Firms Cooperation in Innovation

Heshmati, Almas; Lenz-Cesar, Flávio - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2013

This research introduces an agent-based simulation model representing the dynamic processes of cooperative R&D in the manufacturing sector of South Korea. Firms' behavior is defined according to empirical findings on the Korean Innovation Survey 2005 and captured in a multivariate probit...

Efficient Coordination in Weakest-Link Games

Riedl, Arno; Rohde, Ingrid M.T.; Strobel, Martin - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2011

Existing experimental research on behavior in weakest-link games shows overwhelmingly the inability of people to coordinate on the efficient equilibrium, especially in larger groups. We hypothesize that people are able to coordinate on efficient outcomes, provided they have sufficient freedom to...

In Search of Stars: Network Formation among Heterogeneous Agents

Goeree, Jacob K.; Riedl, Arno; Ule, Aljaz - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2005

This paper reports the results of a laboratory experiment on network formation among heterogeneous agents. The … experimental design extends the basic Bala-Goyal (2000) model of network formation with decay and two-way flow of benefits by … network has a "star" structure. We find that with homogeneous agents, equilibrium predictions fail completely. In contrast …

Children and Women's Participation Dynamics: Direct and Indirect Effects

Voicu, Alexandru; Buddelmeyer, Hielke - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2003

Children affect the after-birth labor force participation of women in two ways. Directly, the time spent in child-care reduces the labor market effort. Time spent out of the labor market while on maternity leave alters women’s participation experience and indirectly affects subsequent...

The Effect of the Timing and Spacing of Births on the Level of Labor Market Involvement of Married Women

Troske, Kenneth; Voicu, Alexandru - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2009

We use panel data from NLSY79 to analyze the effects of the timing and spacing of births on the labor supply of married women in a framework that accounts for the endogeneity of labor market and fertility decisions, the heterogeneity of the effects of children and their correlation with the...

Interfirm Mobility, Wages, and the Returns to Seniority and Experience in the U.S.

Buchinsky, Moshe; Fougère, Denis; Kramarz, Francis; … - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2005

Much of the research in labor economics during the 1980s and the early 1990s was devoted to the analysis of changes in the wage structure across many of the world’s economies. Only recently, has research turned to the analysis of mobility in its various guises. From the life cycle perspective,...

Agriculture: Transition Buffer or Black Hole? A Three-State Model of Employment Dynamics

Voicu, Alexandru - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2002

We analyze the effect of land reform legislation on labor market dynamics in the Romanian economy. We show that the agricultural sector, a source of precarious employment, has become an absorbing state for certain categories of workers who lost their jobs in the nonagricultural sector. A random...

Empirical Modeling of Deprivation Contagion among Social Exclusion Dimensions (Using MCMC Methods)

Poggi, Ambra; Ramos, Xavier - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2007

Economic theory and empirical evidence clearly show that social exclusion dimensions are inter-related. Notwithstanding that, dimensions are usually assumed independent from one another in the economics literature. In this paper we explore the inter-dependency of social exclusion dimensions and...

Forecasting Time Series Subject to Multiple Structural Breaks

Pesaran, M. Hashem; Pettenuzzo, Davide; Timmermann, Allan - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2004

This paper provides a novel approach to forecasting time series subject to discrete structural breaks. We propose a Bayesian estimation and prediction procedure that allows for the possibility of new breaks over the forecast horizon, taking account of the size and duration of past breaks (if...
