HIV/AIDS and Poverty in South Africa: a Bayesian Estimation

Murtin, Fabrice; Marzo, Federica - Département d'économique, Faculté d'administration - 2007

In this paper we assess the causal impact of HIV/AIDS on monetary poverty using a panel data-set from South Africa and modeling the consequences of the illness on both earnings and transfers. Two major econometric problems are likely to bias the estimation: endogeneity of the HIV/AIDS dummy...

The Changing Intra-Household Resource Allocation in Russia

Lacroix, Guy; Radtchenko, Natalia - Centre Interuniversitaire sur le Risque, les Politiques … - 2008

During the transition toward a market economy, Russian workers have had to face important structural changes in the labour market as well as dramatic changes in their real earnings. In the process, the wage gap between men and women has varied wildly over that period. In recent years, young...

The Extent of Labour Specialization in the Extended Family: a Theoretical and Empirical Analysis

Lacroix, Guy; Sofer, Catherine; Picot, Michel - Département d'Économique, Université Laval - 1997

In this paper we present a simple model of labour supply that is cast within the framework of an extended family. The model emphasizes a ricardian division of labour whereby the specialization is solely driven by marginal productivity and value of time differentials. The empirical implications...

Strategy-Proofness and Essentially Single-Valued Cores Revisited

EHLERS, Lars - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Économie … - 2014

We consider general allocation problems with indivisibilities where agents' preferences possibly exhibit externalities. In such contexts many different core notions were proposed. One is the -core whereby blocking is only allowed via allocations where the non-blocking agents receive their...

Transferring ownership of public housing to existing tenants: a mechanism design

ANDERSSON, Tommy; EHLERS, Lars; LARS-GUNNAR, Svensson - Département de Sciences Économiques, Université de … - 2014

EHLERS, Lars - Département de Sciences Économiques, Université de … - 2014

We consider general allocation problems with indivisibilities where agents' preferences possibly exhibit externalities. In such contexts many different core notions were proposed. One is the gamma-core whereby blocking is only allowed via allocations where the non-blocking agents receive their...

An algorithm for identifying agent-k-linked allocations in economies with indivisibilities

ANDERSSON, Tommy; EHLERS, Lars - Département de Sciences Économiques, Université de … - 2013

We consider envy-free (and budget-balanced) rules that are least manipulable with respect to agents counting or with respect to utility gains. Recently it has been shown that for any profile of quasi-linear preferences, the outcome of any such least manipulable envy-free rule can be obtained via...
