Interdependency in performance
Haraguchi, Kelii H. (contributor);  … - 2007
We empirically model performance in the final round of a multiple-round tournament as a spatially autoregressive process, allowing us to sign and quantify the endogenous interactions between competitors. Doing so speaks to significant regularities in the data that suggest that a player's own...

Forecasting with spatial panel data
Baltagi, Badi H.; Bresson, Georges; Pirotte, Alain - 2009
This paper compares various forecasts using panel data with spatial error correlation. The true data generating process is assumed to be a simple error component regression model with spatial remainder disturbances of the autoregressive or moving average type. The best linear unbiased predictor...

Using spatial econometric techniques to analyze the joint employment decisions of spouses
Kalenkoski, Charlene; Lacombe, Donald J. - 2014
Studies of the joint time-use decisions of spouses have relied on joint estimation of time-use equations, sometimes assuming correlated errors across spouses' equations and sometimes directly examining the effects of one spouse's time use on another's, relying on panel data or instrumental...

Spatial interactions
Kim, Jun Sung; Patacchini, Eleonora; Picard, Pierre M.; … - 2022
This paper studies how the strength of social ties are affected by the geographical location of other individuals and their social capital. We characterize the equilibrium in terms of both social interactions and social capital. We show that lower travel costs increase not only the interaction...

Local social capital and geographical mobility : a theory
David, Quentin (contributor); Janiak, Alexandre (contributor) - 2008
In this paper, we attempt to understand the determinants of mobility by introducing the concept of local social capital … to multiple equilibria (a world of local social capital and low mobility vs. a world of low social capital and high … propensity to move). It also shows that local social capital is systematically negative for mobility, and can be negative for …

On human capital formation with exit options : comment and new results
Poutvaara, Panu (contributor) - 2005
Katz and Rapoport (2005) conclude that with linear production technology and the possibility of unilateral migration, region-specific shocks may increase the average level of education. Previously, Poutvaara (2000) derived a corresponding result with Cobb-Douglas technology and migration which...

In the Netherlands auditors can be trained in a part-time educational track in which students combine working and … relatively general. Applying human capital theory, we expect higher wage growth for full-time educated auditors than for dual …

Have you heard the news? : how real-life expectations react to publicity
Wiel, Karen van der - 2009
As evidence is accumulating that subjective expectations influence behavior and that these expectations are sometimes biased, it becomes policy-relevant to know how to influence individuals' expectations. Information in the media is likely to affect how people picture the future. This paper...
