Coneus, Katja; Goeggel, Kathrin; Muehler, Grit - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2007
When estimating the determinants of child care participation, the simultaneity in mothers' decision to work and in the decision to use child care is a major challenge. In this study, we provide evidence on the determinants of institutional child care use accounting for the endogeneity of...

Based on a 1% sample of the German population, we study how fertility rates in the country of origin-a proxy for … cultural imprint-influence the fertility outcomes of first- and second-generation female immigrants. We use both total … fertility rates in the year of migration and a new measure of completed cohort fertility rates in the countries of origin as …

Rennings, Klaus; Ziegler, Andreas; Zwick, Thomas - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2001
This paper analyses the determinants of employment reactions induced by environmental innovations. On the basis of the parameter estimates of the Multinomial Logit and of several Multinomial Probit Models, we show that we have to distinguish between the factors that have an impact on employment...

Forecasting adoption of ultra-low-emission vehicles using the GHK simulator and Bayes estimates of a multinomial probit model
Daziano, Ricardo A.; Achtnicht, Martin - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2012
In this paper we use Bayes estimates of a multinomial probit model with fully flexible substitution patterns to forecast consumer response to ultra-low-emission vehicles. In this empirical application of the probit Gibbs sampler, we use stated-preference data on vehicle choice from a...
