On the Practice of Bayesian Inference in Basic Economic Time Series Models using Gibbs Sampling
Pooter, Michiel D. de; Segers, René; Dijk, Herman K. van - Tinbergen Institute - 2006
Several lessons learned from a Bayesian analysis of basic economic time series models by means of the Gibbs sampling algorithm are presented. Models include the Cochrane-Orcutt model for serial correlation, the Koyck distributed lag model, the Unit Root model, the Instrumental Variables model...

Spurious Regression, Cointegration, and Near Cointegration: A Unifying Approach
Haldrup, Niels; Jansson, Michael - Tinbergen Institute - 1999
on this representation, a notion of near cointegration is proposed and three separate applications of the model of near … cointegration are provided. As a first application, we give analytical corroboration of the conjecture that the finite sample … coefficient. Hence, the notion of near cointegration helps to bridge the gap between the polar cases of spurious regression and …

Intra-Household Work Timing: The Effect on Joint Activities and the Demand for Child Care
Klaveren, Chris van; Brink, Henriette Maassen van den; … - Tinbergen Institute - 2011
This study examines if couples time their work hours and how this work timing influences child care demand and the time that spouses jointly spend on leisure, household chores and child care. By using a innovative matching strategy, this studies identifies the timing of work hours that cannot be...

Wages and Commuting: Quasi-Natural Experiments' Evidence from Firms that relocate
Mulalic, Ismir; Ommeren, Jos N. van; Pilegaard, Ninette - Tinbergen Institute - 2010
We examine the causal effect of commuting distance on workers' wages in a quasi-natural experiments setting using information on all workers in Denmark. We account for endogeneity of distance by using changes in distance that are due to firms' relocations. For the range of commuting distances...

Self-Employment around Retirement Age
Hochguertel, Stefan - Tinbergen Institute - 2010
This paper uses panel data from the pan-European SHARE survey to study labor market behavior of older male self-employed vis-a-vis wage employed workers. We find the self-employed to work longer hours, to be more flexible in their hours allocation, and to retire later in all countries. We relate...

Optimal Income Taxation with Endogenous Human Capital
Jacobs, Bas - Tinbergen Institute - 2002
This paper augments the theory of optimal linear income taxation by taking into account human capital accumulation as a dimension of labor supply. The distribution of earning potentials is endogenous because agents differ in the ability to learn. Taxation affects utilization rates of human...

What explains the Variation in Estimates of Labour Supply Elasticities?
Evers, Michiel; Mooij, Ruud A. de; Vuuren, Daniel J. van - Tinbergen Institute - 2006
This paper performs a meta-analysis of empirical estimates of uncompensated labour supply elasticities. We find that much of the variation in elasticities can be explained by the variation in gender, participation rates, and country fixed effects. Country differences appear to be small though....

Informal and Formal Care among Single-living Elderly in Europe
Bolin, K.; Lindgren, B.; Lundborg, P. - Tinbergen Institute - 2007
The aims of this study were (1) to analyse whether informal care, provided by children or grandchildren to their elderly parents, and formal care are substitutes or complements, and (2) whether this relationship differs across Europe. The analyses were based on the newly developed SHARE (Survey...

ICT and Substitution between Out-of-home and At-home Work; the Importance of Timing
Graaff, Thomas de; Rietveld, Piet - Tinbergen Institute - 2003
This paper investigates the determinants of at home and out-of-home labor supply in the Netherlands in the 199s, focusing on the presence of ICT technologies in households -in particular modem possession. To investigate these determinants, a sequential hurdle model is estimated where people...

A Collective Household Model of Time Allocation - A Comparison of Native Dutch and Immigrant Households in The Netherlands
Klaveren, Chris van; Praag, Bernard M.S. van; Brink, … - Tinbergen Institute - 2006
Although the number of immigrant households in the Netherlands is substantial, the labor supply choices of this group are usually neglected in empirical studies because these households are usually under-sampled. We use a stratified sample of Turkish, Surinamese/Antillean and Dutch households...
