The availability of quantity information along with expenditure information in some household surveys allows the estimation of price reactions on the basis of unit values. We compare two specifications that have been proposed in this context by Deaton (1990) and Crawford et al. (1997) in order...

We develop a method for estimation of price reactions using unit value data which exploits the implicit links between quantity and unit value choices. This allows us to combine appealing Engel curve specifications with a model of unit value determination in a way which is consistent with demand...

Several recent papers have shown the relevance of collective models for the empirical investigation of household labor supply and consumption. Yet the estimation of collective models in the presence of non-linear budget sets and participation decisions remains a daunting task. This paper...

This paper assesses the effects that an introduction of the French family splitting mechanism would have on German families' labour supply and intra-household consumption behaviour. We use simulated real world microdata created by means of a 'deterministic' collective labour supply model. The...

This paper compares predictions obtained for the analysis of tax reforms with collective and unitary models of household labour supply and consumption behaviour. We simulate real world microdata by means of a collective approach, using a compound procedure of estimation and calibration based on...

Peer influence through word-of-mouth (WOM) plays an important role in many information systems but identification of causal effects is challenging. We identify causal WOM effects in the empirical setting of game adoption in a social network for gamers by exploiting differences in individuals'...

evidence on the effect of age and the supervisor's gender on gender differences in workplace training, holding constant various … workplace characteristics. We implement an age-specific decomposition of the incidence and the duration of training into three … terms: an age-specific coefficients effect, an age-specific characteristics effect, and an age composition effect. Our …

the age structure of establishments on productivity using representative linked employeremployee panel data. We argue that … establishment age-productivity profiles might differ for various reasons. For example, the importance of physical strength and … possibilities to compensate deficits in skills differ between sectors. We investigate differences in the age-productivity profiles …
