Testing the specification of the Mincer wage equation

Belzil, Christian (contributor) - 2007

"I perform the joint estimation of a reduced-form dynamic model of the transition from one grade level to the next, and a Mincer wage equation, using panel data taken from the NLSY. A very high degree of flexibility is achieved by approximating the distributions of idiosyncractic grade...

Regression analysis of country effects using multilevel data : a cautionary tale

Bryan, Mark L.; Jenkins, Stephen - 2013

Cross-national differences in outcomes are often analysed using regression analysis of multilevel country datasets, examples of which include the ECHP, ESS, EU-SILC, EVS, ISSP, and SHARE. We review the regression methods applicable to this data structure, pointing out problems with the...

Fixed effects and variance components estimation in three-level meta-analysis

Konstantopoulos, Spyros - 2011

Meta-analytic methods have been widely applied to education, medicine, and the social sciences. Much of meta-analytic data are hierarchically structured since effect size estimates are nested within studies, and in turn studies can be nested within level-3 units such as laboratories or...

The complexity of economic policy : I. Restricted local optima in tax policy design

Saint-Paul, Gilles - 2002

Economists traditionally tackle normative problems by computing optimal policy, i.e. the one that maximizes a social welfare function. In practice, however, a succession of marginal changes to a limited number of policy instruments are implemented, until no further improvement is feasible. I...

Sharing rule identification for general collective consumption models

Cherchye, Laurens; Rock, Bram de; Lewbel, Arthur; … - 2012

We propose a method to identify bounds (i.e. set identification) on the sharing rule for a general collective household consumption model. Unlike the effects of distribution factors, it is well known that the level of the sharing rule cannot be uniquely identified without strong assumptions on...

Why do women leave science and engineering?

Hunt, Jennifer - 2012

from science and engineering relative to other fields. I find that the higher relative exit rate is driven by engineering … rather than science, and show that 60% of the gap can be explained by the relatively greater exit rate from engineering of … working conditions are only secondary factors. The relative exit rate by gender from engineering does not differ from that of …

Labor supply with social interactions : econometric estimates and their tax policy implications

Grodner, Andrew (contributor); … - 2007

Our econometric research allows for a possible response of a person's hours worked to hours typically worked by members of a multidimensional labor market reference group that considers demographics and geographic location. Instrumental variables estimates of the canonical labor supply model...

Some challenges in the empirics of the effects of networks

Boucher, Vincent; Fortin, Bernard - 2015

We study some recent developments and challenges in the empirics of the effects of social networks. We focus in particular on researchers' ability to make policy recommendations based on a standard linear econometric model. We examine the potential compatibility between this type of econometric...
