Heitmueller, Axel (contributor); … - 2006

effects and correlated unobserved heterogeneity. We find evidence of a causal link from informal care to employment with … employment rates reduced by up to 6 percentage points. However, this effect is only found for co-residential carers who account … significantly smaller link from employment to care provision is found.

On the rise of health spending and longevity

Fonseca, Raquel; Michaud, Pierre-Carl; Galama, Titus; … - 2009

We use a calibrated stochastic life-cycle model of endogenous health spending, asset accumulation and retirement to investigate the causes behind the increase in health spending and life expectancy over the period 1965-2005. We estimate that technological change along with the increase in the...

Unobserved ability and the return to schooling

Belzil, Christian; Hansen, Jörgen - 2002

We estimate a structural dynamic programming model of schooling decisions with unobserved heterogeneity in school ability and market ability on a sample taken from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY). Both the instantaneous utility of attending school and the wage regression...

A structural analysis of the correlated random coefficient wage regression model

Belzil, Christian; Hansen, Jörgen - 2002

We estimate a finite mixture dynamic programming model of schooling decisions in which the log wage regression function is set in a random coefficient framework. The model allows for absolute and comparative advantages in the labor market and assumes that the population is composed of 8 unknown...

Health and wealth of elderly couples : causality tests using dynamic panel data models

Michaud, Pierre-Carl (contributor); … - 2004 - [Elektronische Ressource]

A positive relationship between socio-economic status (SES) and health, the so-called "health-wealth gradient", is repeatedly found in most industrialized countries with similar levels of health care technology and economic welfare. This study analyzes causality from health to wealth (health...
