Modeling employment dynamics with state dependence and unobserved heterogeneity
Prowse, Victoria - 2010
This paper extends existing work on labor force participation dynamics by distinguishing between full-time and part-time employment and allowing unobserved heterogeneity in the effects of previous employment outcomes, children and education on employment dynamics. The results reveal significant...

Competition reform and household welfare: a microsimulation analysis of the telecommunication sector in Ethiopia
Rodríguez-Castelán, Carlos; Araar, Abdelkrim; … - 2021
This paper presents a novel method for estimating the likely welfare effects of competition reforms for both current and new consumers. Using household budget survey data for 2015/16 for Ethiopia and assuming a reform scenario that dilutes the market share of the state-owned monopoly to 45...

Evidence for a two-women quota in university departments across disciplines
Janys, Lena - 2020
Increasing diversity in higher tiers of occupations is a strongly debated topic and subject to legislation and reform in professional organizations in many countries. I use a novel method for detecting implicit quotas in workplaces, college admissions or birth patterns, relying exclusively on...

Mostly harmless simulations? : on the internal validity of empirical Monte Carlo studies
Advani, Arun; Kitagawa, Toru; Słoczyński, Tymon - 2018
Currently there is little practical advice on which treatment effect estimator to use when trying to adjust for observable differences. A recent suggestion is to compare the performance of estimators in simulations that somehow mimic the empirical context. Two ways to run such 'empirical Monte...

Corruption, norm violation and decay in social capital
Banerjee, Ritwik - 2016
The paper studies the link between corruption and social capital (measured as trust), using data from a lab experiment. Subjects play either a harassment bribery game or a strategically identical but differently framed ultimatum game, followed by a trust game. In a second experiment, we elicit...
