Estimation of dynamic discrete choice models by maximum likelihood and the simulated method of moments
Eisenhauer, Philipp; Heckman, James J.; Mosso, Stefano - 2014
We compare the performance of maximum likelihood (ML) and simulated method of moments (SMM) estimation for dynamic discrete choice models. We construct and estimate a simplified dynamic structural model of education that captures some basic features of educational choices in the United States in...

Beyond the origin dummy: heterogeneity of ethnicity and human capital accumulation
Postepska, Agnieszka - 2021
Ethnic background is a well recognized complementary factor in human capital accumulation process. This paper investigates how three aspects of ethnicity affect human capital formation: group's quality, size and closeness of ties. Relying on heteroskedasticity to identify parameters in the...

How important are mental and physical health in career and family choices?
Cozzi, Guido; Mantovan, Noemi; Sauer, Robert M. - 2024
We present a dynamic life-cycle model of women's labor supply, marriage, and fertility choices that explicitly incorporates mental and physical health. Correlated mental and physical health production functions are simultaneously estimated, including the endogenous decisions to seek...

Bias corrections for two-step fixed effects panel data estimators
Fernández-Val, Iván (contributor);  … - 2007
This paper introduces bias-corrected estimators for nonlinear panel data models with both time invariant and time …/selection bias. We then estimate the primary equation by fixed effects including an appropriately constructed control function from … both steps might employ nonlinear fixed effects procedures it is necessary to bias adjust the estimates due to the …
