Overeducation, undereducation, and the theory of career mobility

Büchel, Felix; Mertens, Antje - 2001

The theory of career mobility (Sicherman and Galor 1990) claims that wage penalties for overeducated workers are compensated by better promotion prospects. Sicherman (1991) was able to confirm this theory in an empirical study. However, the controls for the opposing phenomenon of undereducation...

The relevance of equal splits : on a behavioral discontinuity in ultimatum games

Güth, Werner; Huck, Steffen; Müller, Wieland - 1998

The findings on the ultimatum game are considered as belonging to the most robust experimental results. In this paper we present a slightly altered version of the mini ultimatum game of Bolton and Zwick (1995). Whereas in the latter exactly equal splits were feasible in our games these were...

Maximization of empirical Shannon information in testing significant variables of linear model

Malyutov, M.; Sadaka, H. - 1998

Search for an unknown set A,Card(A) = s, of significant variables of a linear model with random IID discrete binary carriers and finitely supported IID noise is studied. Two statistics T1, Ts, based on maximization of Shannon Information (SI) of the corresponding classes of joint empirical...
