Educational choice, initial wage and wage growth

Mazza, Jacopo; Ophem, Hans van - 2020

We investigate the major choice of college graduates where we make choice dependent on expected initial wages and expected wage growth per major. We build a model that allows us to estimate these factors semiparametrically and that corrects for selection bias. We estimate the model on the...

Good or bad? Short- versus long-term effects of multigrading on child achievement

Barbetta, Gian Paolo; Chuard, Patrick; Sorrenti, Giuseppe; … - 2022

This paper studies the effect of multigrading-mixing children of different ages in the same classroom-on students' short- versus long-term academic achievement in Italy. We cope with the endogeneity of multigrading (and class size) through an instrumental variable identification strategy based...

Spillovers in fields of study: siblings, cousins, and neighbors

Avdeev, Stanislav; Ketel, Nadine; Oosterbeek, Hessel; … - 2023 - This version: September 2023

We use admission lotteries for higher education studies in the Netherlands to investigate whether someone's field of study influences the study choices of their younger peers. We find that younger siblings and cousins are strongly affected. Also younger neighbors are affected but to a smaller...

We study the relative contribution … decision to capitulate an investment, however, only depends directly on the expectation about the stock’s future performance ….

The effect of the great moderation on the US business cycle in a time-varying multivariate trend-cycle model

Creal, Drew; Koopman, Siem Jan; Zivot, Eric - 2008

In this paper we investigate whether the dynamic properties of the U.S. business cycle have changed in the last fifty years. For this purpose we develop a flexible business cycle indicator that is constructed from a moderate set of macroeconomic time series. The coincident economic indicator is...

Measuring asymmetric stochastic cycle components in US macroeconomic time series

Koopman, Siem Jan; Lee, Kai Ming - 2005

To gain insights in the current status of the economy, macroeconomic time series are often decomposed into trend, cycle and irregular components. This can be done by nonparametric band-pass filtering methods in the frequency domain or by model-based decompositions based on autoregressive moving...
