Dynamic Choice, Multistate Duration Models and Stochastic Structure

Dagsvik, John K. - Statistisk Sentralbyrå, Government of Norway - 1996

An important problem in the analysis of intertemporal choice processes is how to justify the choice of mathematical structure of the transition probabilities. A related and delicate identification problem is to separate the effect of unobserved variables from the influence on preferences from...

Behavioral multistate duration models. What should they look like?

Dagsvik, John K. - Statistisk Sentralbyrå, Government of Norway - 2012

This paper discusses how specification of probabilistic models for multistate duration data generated by individual choices should be justified on a priori theoretical grounds. Preferences are assumed represented by random utilities, where utilities are viewed as random also to the agent...

Non-parametric Identification of the Mixed Hazards Model with Interval-Censored Durations

Brinch, Christian N. - Statistisk Sentralbyrå, Government of Norway - 2008

Econometric duration data are typically interval-censored, that is, not directly observed, but observed to fall within a known interval. Known non-parametric identification results for duration models with unobserved heterogeneity rely crucially on exact observation of durations at a continuous...

Do welfare-to-work initiatives work? Evidence from an activation programme targeted at social security recipients in Norway

Rønsen, Marit; Skarðhamar, Torbjørn - Statistisk Sentralbyrå, Government of Norway - 2007

This paper presents results from an evaluation of a Norwegian initiative to combat poverty launched in 2003. Central to the plan is a broad spectrum of rehabilitation and activation measures intended to help long-term social security recipients from welfare to work. We illuminate short-term...

Time aggregation and state dependence in welfare receipt

Bhuller, Manudeep; Brinch, Christian N.; Königs, Sebastian - Statistisk Sentralbyrå, Government of Norway - 2014

Dynamic discrete-choice models have been an important tool in studies of state dependence in benefit receipt. An assumption of such models is that benefit receipt sequences follow a conditional Markov process. This property has implications for how estimated period-to-period benefit transition...

Non-parametric identication of the mixed proportional hazards model with interval-censored durations

Brinch, Christian N. - Statistisk Sentralbyrå, Government of Norway - 2009

This note presents identication results for the mixed proportional hazards model when duration data are interval-censored. Earlier positive results on identication under intervalcensoring require both parametric specication on how covariates enter the hazard functions and assumptions of...

Maternal Employment in Norway A parity-specific analysis of the return to full-time and part-time work after birth

Rønsen, Marit - Statistisk Sentralbyrå, Government of Norway - 1995

This paper analyzes the (re)entry of Norwegian mothers into full-time and part-time employment following the first and second birth. Based on theories of job search and human capital depreciation and appreciation a semi-parametric hazard model is estimated, expressing the entry rate as a...

Cash-on-Hand and the duration of job search. Quasi-experimental evidence from Norway

Basten, Christoph; Fagereng, Andreas; Telle, Kjetil - Statistisk Sentralbyrå, Government of Norway - 2012

We identify the causal effect of lump-sum severance payments on non-employment duration in Norway by exploiting a discontinuity in eligibility at age 50. We find that a severance payment worth 1.2 months' earnings at the median lowers the fraction re-employed after a year by six percentage...

Quality adjusted price indexes for discrete goods

Dagsvik, John K.; Mathiassen, Astrid L.; Eriksson, Bengt J. - Statistisk Sentralbyrå, Government of Norway - 2006

This paper discusses the construction and computation of a quality adjusted price index when the commodities are … Trajtenberg’s approach. A key result obtained in the paper is that the evolution of the quality adjusted price index depends … estimates of the pricees from 1999 to 2002 than does the quality adjusted price index. This is mainly due to variations in the …

Choice under Uncertainty and Bounded Rationality

Dagsvik, John K. - Statistisk Sentralbyrå, Government of Norway - 2005

This paper develops a theory for probabilistic models for risky choices that can be viewed as an extension of the … expected utility theory to account for bounded rationality. One probabilistic version of the Archimedean Axiom and two versions …
