Efficiency effects of unit-based pricing systems and institutional choices of waste collection

Dijkgraaf, Elbert; Gradus, Raymond - 2014

Much attention has been paid to the influence of the institutional form of waste collection on costs. We extend this literature in three directions by including the unit-based pricing system. First, we show that unit-based pricing systems are more important from a cost-minimizing point of view...

Combining panel data sets with attrition and refreshment samples

Hirano, Keisuke; Imbens, Guido; Ridder, Geert; Rubin, … - 1998

With panel data important issues can be resolved that can not beaddressed with cross--sectional data. A major drawback is that paneldata suffer from more severe missing data problems. Adding a sampleconsisting of new units randomly drawn from the original populationas replacements for units who...

Identifying reduced-form relations with panel data

Vollebergh, Herman R. J.; Melenberg, Bertrand; … - 2007 - This version: September 13, 2007

The literature that tests for U-shaped relationships using panel data, such as those between pollution and income or inequality and growth, reports widely divergent (parametric and non-parametric) empirical findings. We explain why lack of identification lies at the root of these differences. To...

Measurement of inequity in health care delivery has focused on the extent to which health care utilisation is or is not distributed according to need, irrespective of income. Studies using cross-sectional data have proposed various ways of measuring and standardizing for need, but inevitably...

Panel data estimates of the production function and product and labor market imperfections

Dobbelaere, Sabien; Mairesse, Jacques - 2010

Embedding the efficient bargaining model into the R. Hall (1988) approach for estimating price-cost margins shows that both imperfections in the product and labor markets generate a wedge between factor elasticities in the production function and their corresponding shares in revenue. This...

The monetary exchange rate model as a long-run phenomenon

Groen, Jan J. J. - 1998

Pure time series-based tests fail to find empirical support formonetary exchange rate models. In this paper we apply pooled timeseries estimation on a forward-looking monetary model, resulting inparameter estimates which are in compliance with the underlyingtheory. Based on a panel version of...

The importance of accounting for time trends when estimating the Euro effect on trade

Bun, Maurice J. G.; Klaassen, Franc - 2004

To study the effect of the euro on international goods trade one typically estimates a panel model for the level of trade. Trade levels increase over time, and we show that this is not fully explained by the included regressors. Because the euro is only present at the end of the sample, this may...
