Based on a multiple spells approach, this paper studies the extent and the composition of chronic poverty in Germany. The results indicate that about one third of cross-sectional poverty in a given year is chronic. The characteristics that are most closely associated with long-term poverty are...

We analyze the effect of imposed benefit sanctions on the unemployment-to-employment transition of unemployed people entitled to unemployment compensation on the basis of register data from the German Federal Employment Agency. We combine propensity score matching with a discrete-time hazard...

Matching has become a popular approach to estimate average treatment effects. It is based on the conditional independence or unconfoundedness assumption. Checking the sensitivity of the estimated results with respect to deviations from this identifying assumption has become an increasingly...

In this paper we suggest a Stata routine for multinomial logit models with unobserved heterogeneity using maximum simulated likelihood based on Halton sequences. The purpose of this paper is twofold: First, we provide a description of the technical implementation of the estimation routine and...

In structural vector autoregressive analysis identifying the shocks of interest via heteroskedasticity has become a … standard tool. Unfortunately, the approaches currently used for modelling heteroskedasticity all have drawbacks. For instance … used conventional identification schemes in this context are rejected by the data if heteroskedasticity is allowed for …

Identification through heteroskedasticity in heteroskedastic simultaneous equations models (HSEMs) is considered. The … possibility that heteroskedasticity identifies the structural parameters only partially is explicitly allowed for. The … asymptoticproperties of the identified parameters are derived. Moreover, tests for identification through heteroskedasticity are developed …
