Quick job entry or long-term human capital development? The dynamic effects of alternative training schemes

Osikominu, Aderonke - 2012

This paper investigates how precisely short-term, job-search oriented training programs as opposed to long-term, human capital intensive training programs work. We evaluate and compare their effects on time until job entry, stability of employment, and earnings. Further, we examine the...

Estimation and Inference in Spatial Models with Dominant Units

Pesaran, M. Hashem - 2020

In spatial econometrics literature estimation and inference are carried out assuming that the matrix of spatial or network connections has uniformly bounded absolute column sums in the number of units, n, in the network. This paper relaxes this restriction and allows for one or more units to...

Identification and Estimation of Categorical Random Coefficient Models

Gao, Zhan; Pesaran, M. Hashem - 2022

This paper proposes a linear categorical random coefficient model, in which the random coefficients follow parametric categorical distributions. The distributional parameters are identified based on a linear recurrence structure of moments of the random coefficients. A Generalized Method of...
