Evaluating alternative representations of the choice sets in models of labour supply

Aaberge, Rolf (contributor); Colombino, Ugo (contributor); … - 2006

During the last two decades, the discrete-choice modelling of labour supply decisions has become increasingly popular, starting with Aaberge et al. (1995) and van Soest (1995). Within the literature adopting this approach there are however two potentially important issues that are worthwhile...

Tenure profiles and efficient separation in a stochastic productivity model

Buhai, Sebastian (contributor); … - 2006

This paper provides a new way of analyzing tenure profiles in wages, by modelling simultaneously the evolution of wages and the distribution of tenures. We develop a theoretical model based on efficient bargaining, where both log outside wage and log wage in the current job follow a random walk,...

Variance estimation in a random coefficients model

Schlicht, Ekkehart (contributor); … - 2006

This papers describes an estimator for a standard state-space model with coefficients generated by a random walk that is statistically superior to the Kalman filter as applied to this particular class of models. Two closely related estimators for the variances are introduced: A maximum...

How important are fixed effects and time trends in estimating returns to schooling? : evidence from a replication of Jacobson, Lalonde and Sullivan, 2005

Dynarski, Susan M.; Jacob, Brian Aaron; Kreisman, Daniel - 2018

A substantial and rapidly growing literature has developed around estimating earnings gains from two-year college degrees using administrative data. These papers almost universally employ a person-level fixed effects strategy to estimate earnings premia net of fixed attributes. We note that the...

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...

Fixed effects and causal inference

Millimet, Daniel L.; Bellemare, Marc F. - 2023

Across many disciplines, the fixed effects estimator of linear panel data models is the default method to estimate causal effects with nonexperimental data that are not confounded by time-invariant, unit-specific heterogeneity. One feature of the fixed effects estimator, however, is often...

Obstacles on the road to school: the impacts of mobility restrictions on educational performance

Miaari, Sami H.; Lee, Ines - 2020

This paper examines the impact of mobility restrictions on educational performance in the West Bank over 2000-2006 during the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This conflict is characterized by a system of mobility restrictions enforced through physical barriers such as checkpoints. Using novel data...

Were small businesses more likely to permanently close in the pandemic?

Fairlie, Robert W.; Fossen, Frank M.; Johnsen, Reid; … - 2022

the pandemic, but surprisingly little is known on whether these shutdowns turned into permanent closures and whether small … businesses were disproportionately hit. This paper provides the first analysis of permanent business closures using confidential … Fee Administration. We find large increases in closures rates in the first two quarters of 2020, but a strong reversal of …

Cigarette taxes and smoking in the long run

Friedson, Andrew; Rees, Daniel I. - 2020

Researchers have focused on the contemporaneous relationship between cigarette taxes and smoking, while the longer-run effects of cigarette taxes have received little attention. Using individual-level panel data from 1970-2017, we estimate the effects of cigarette taxes experienced as a teenager...

Short- and long-run impacts of rural electrification : evidence from the historical rollout of the U.S. power grid

Lewis, Joshua; Severnini, Edson R. - 2017

Electrification among American farm households increased from less than 10 percent to nearly 100 percent over a three decade span, 1930{1960. We exploit the historical rollout of the U.S. power grid to study the short- and long-run impacts of rural electrification on local economies. In the...
