The impact of uncertainty on investment : a meta-analysis
Koetse, Mark J.; Groot, Henri L. F. de; Florax, Raymond … - 2006
In this paper we perform a meta-analysis on empirical estimates of the impact between investment and uncertainty. Since the outcomes of primary studies are largely incomparable with respect to the magnitude of the effect, our analysis focuses on the direction and statistical significance of the...

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...
