Does future PC use determine our wages today? : evidence from German panel data
Anger, Silke; Schwarze, Johannes - 2002
Using 1985-1999 data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (GSOEP) to analyze wages we confirm the hypothesis that existing computer wage premiums are determined by individual ability or other unobserved individual characteristics rather than by productivity effects. While a rather large...

Estimating yield curves by Kernel smoothing methods
Linton, Oliver; Mammen, Enno; Nielsen, Jens Perch; … - 1998
We introduce a new method for the estimation of discount functions, yield curves and forward curves from government … although we do show how to impose various restrictions in the estimation. Our method is based on Kernel smoothing and is … our estimation procedure is iterative, rather like the backfitting method of estimating non-parametric models. We …

Estimation and testing for varying coefficients in additive models with marginal integration
Yang, Lijian; Härdle, Wolfgang; Park, Byeong U. - 2002
We propose marginal integration estimation and testing methods for the coefficients of varying coefficient multivariate … regression model. Asymptotic distribution theory is developed for the estimation method which enjoys the same rate of convergence … as univariate function estimation. For the test statistic, asymptotic normal theory is established. These theoretical …

Cointegrating smooth transition regressions with applications to the Asian currency crisis
Saikkonen, Pentti; Choi, In - 2000
This paper studies the smooth transition regression model where regressors are I(1) and errors are I(0). The regressors and errors are assumed to be dependent both serially and contemporaneously. Using the triangular array asymptotics, the nonlinear least squares estimator is shown to be...

Estimating wage losses of displaced workers in Germany
Burda, Michael C.; Mertens, Antje - 1999
This paper investigates the effect of displacement on reemployment wages of socially insured West German workers who became unemployed in 1986. Because detailed information on the cause of job loss is unavailable, displacement status is imputed using a probit estimated on the German...

On the wages of temporary help service workers in Germany
Kvasnicka, Michael; Werwatz, Axel - 2002
This paper produces first econometric estimates for Germany of the contemporanous wage gap associated with Temporary Help Service (THS) employment, as well as the long-term effects of THS work on the future earnings of workers. In addition, we present evidence showing that average male real...

Fixed-term contracts in East and West Germany : low wages, poor prospects?
McGinnity, Frances; Mertens, Antje - 2002 - Rev.
Amid lively debate on the consequences of temporary employment, the paper examines the wages and transitions of temporary employees in Germany using socio-economic panel data from the late 1990s. Compared to simple OLS estimates, using a fixed effects model decreases wage differentials between...
