VC : a method for estimating time-varying coefficients in linear models

Schlicht, Ekkehart - 2020

This paper describes a moments estimator for a standard state-space model with coefficients generated by a random walk. A penalized least squares estimation is linked to the GLS (Aitken) estimates of the corresponding linear model with time-invariant parameters. The VC estimates are moments...

Speeding up on the learning curve : the evaluation of telework following a surge in telework experience

Moen, Eline; Lippens, Louis; D'Hert, Liam; Baert, Stijn - 2024

This letter adds to the literature on the importance of telework experience in employee evaluation by leveraging the telework experience accumulated during the COVID-19 crisis. We conducted a follow-up survey on the evaluation of telework exactly three years after our initial data collection in...

Efficiency gains from team-based coordination : large-scale experimental evidence

Feri, Francesco (contributor); Irlenbusch, Bernd (contributor) - 2008

The need for efficient coordination is ubiquitous in organizations and industries. The literature on the determinants of efficient coordination has focused on individual decision-making so far. In reality, however, teams often have to coordinate with other teams. We present an experiment with...

The speed of employer learning and job market signaling revisited

Habermalz, Steffen (contributor) - 2006

This paper discusses the claim made in Altonji and Pierret (1997) and Lange (2005) that a high speed of employer learning indicates a low value of job market signaling. The claim is first discussed intuitively in light of Spence’s original model and then evaluated in a simple extension of a...

The critical period hypothesis for language learning : what the 2000 US census says

Chiswick, Barry R. (contributor); … - 2007

"A critical period for language learning is often defined as a sharp decline in learning outcomes with age. This study examines the relevance of the critical period to English proficiency among immigrants in the US. It uses microdata from the 2000 US Census, a model of language acquisition from...

Employer learning, productivity and the earnings distribution : evidence from performance measures

Kahn, Lisa B.; Lange, Fabian - 2010

themselves evolve heterogeneously. In this paper, we seek to disentangle these two models and place magnitudes on their relative … importance. We derive a dynamic model of learning and productivity that nests both models and allows them to coexist. We estimate … models are important in explaining the data. However, the predominant effect is that worker productivity evolves …

The rate of learning-by-doing : estimates from a search-matching model

Prat, Julien (contributor) - 2007

We construct and estimate by maximum likelihood an equilibrium search model where wages are set by Nash bargaining and idiosyncratic productivity follows a geometric Brownian motion. The proposed framework enables us to endogenize job destruction and to estimate the rate of learning-by-doing....

Inequality of learning in industrialised countries

Micklewright, John (contributor); … - 2006

Within-country differences in educational outcomes are compared for a large group of industrialised countries. We investigate where inequality is greatest, the association between inequality in learning and average levels of learning, the interpretation of measured levels of inequality, and...

Employer learning and the "importance" of skills

Light, Audrey; McGee, Andrew D. - 2012

We ask whether the role of employer learning in the wage-setting process depends on skill type and skill importance to productivity. Combining data from the NLSY79 with O*NET data, we use Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery scores to measure seven distinct types of pre-market skills that...

The role of peers in estimating tenure-performance profiles : evidence from personnel data

Grip, Andries de; Sauermann, Jan; Sieben, Inge … - 2011

In this paper, we estimate tenure-performance profiles using unique panel data that contain detailed information on individual workers' performance. We find that a 10 per cent increase in tenure leads to an increase in performance of 5.5 per cent of a standard deviation. This translates to an...
