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...

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...

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...

Rebuttal of "on nonparametric identification of treatment effects in duration models"
Abbring, Jaap H.; Berg, Gerard J. van den - 2016
In their IZA Discussion Paper 10247, Johansson and Lee claim that the main result (Proposition 3) in Abbring and Van den Berg (2003b) does not hold. We show that their claim is incorrect. At a certain point within their line of reasoning, they make a rather basic error while transforming one...

Fiscal competition and the composition of public spending : theory and evidence
Borck, Rainald (contributor); Caliendo, Marco (contributor);  … - 2006
In this paper, we consider fiscal competition between jurisdictions. Capital taxes are used to finance a public input and two public goods, one which benefits mobile skilled workers and one which benefits immobile unskilled workers. We derive the jurisdictions' reaction functions for different...

Democracy, dictatorship and the cultural transmission of political values
Ticchi, Davide; Verdier, Thierry; Vindigni, Andrea - 2013

Parents invest resources in order to transmit their own political values (commitment to democracy) to their …

Evaluation of active labour market policy : methodological concepts and empirical estimates
Hujer, Reinhard; Caliendo, Marco - 2000
Persistently high unemployment, tight government budgets and the growing scepticism regarding the effects of active labour market policies (ALMP) are the basis for a growing interest in evaluating these measures. This paper intends to explain the need for evaluation on the micro- and...
