Federal minimum wage hikes do reduce teenage employment : the time series effects of minimum wages in the US revisited
Bazen, Stephen; Marimoutou, Vêlayoudom - 2016
In 2002 we published a paper in which we used state space time series methods to analyse the teenage employment‐federal minimum wage relationship in the US (Bazen and Marimoutou, 2002). The study used quarterly data for the 46 year period running from 1954 to 1999. We detected a small,...

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...

Eliciting permanent and transitory undeclared work from matched administrative and survey data
Elek, Petér S.; Köllő, János - 2017
We study the undeclared work patterns of Hungarian employees in relatively stable jobs, using a panel dataset that matches individual-level self-reported Labour Force Survey data with administrative records of the Pension Directorate for 2001-2006. We estimate the determinants of undeclared work...

Non-farm enterprise productivity and spatial autocorrelation in rural Africa : evidence from Ethiopia and Nigeria
Owoo, Nkechi S.; Naudé, Wim - 2014
proximate farm and non-farm enterprises. To test for the presence and significance of such spatial autocorrelation we use data … (NGHS). We find evidence of significant spatial autocorrelation. Productivity of non-farm enterprises is widely dispersed … productive. In Nigeria, we find evidence for spatial autocorrelation at the individual enterprise level but not at the community …

Residential choices of young Americans
Patacchini, Eleonora; Arduini, Tiziano - 2016
Using detailed data on a cohort of young Americans who were in their late twenties and early thirties in 2008, we investigate the importance of forces different from economic incentives in nest-leaving decisions. We apply recent methods from social network econometrics to identify the importance...

Exports and labour demand : searching for functional structure in multi-output multi-skill technologies
Koebel, Bertrand M. (contributor) - 2005
In order to simplify the representation of a technological relationship between inputs and outputs, a production unit's technology must typically satisfy some restrictive conditions, some of them being well known in the literature. This paper presents new results for aggregating labour inputs...

Ethnic regional networks and immigrants' earnings: a spatial autoregressive network approach
Wang, Xingang; Maani, Sholeh A. - 2021
The conventional model of immigrant earnings does not account for the correlation of outcomes across immigrant ethnic networks. We apply a spatial autoregressive network approach to account for the spill-over effects of migrant ethnic group economic resources and labour market outcomes. We...

Network effects on labor contracts of internal migrants in China : a spatial autoregressive model
Baltagi, Badi H.; Deng, Ying; Ma, Xiangjun - 2017
This paper studies the fact that 37 percent of the internal migrants in China do not sign a labor contract with their employers, as revealed in a nationwide survey. These contract-free jobs pay lower hourly wages, require longer weekly work hours, and provide less insurance or on-the-job...

A time-space dynamic panel data model with spatial moving average errors
Baltagi, Badi H.; Fingleton, Bernard; Pirotte, Alain - 2018
This paper focuses on the estimation and predictive performance of several estimators for the time-space dynamic panel data model with Spatial Moving Average Random Effects (SMA-RE) structure of the disturbances. A dynamic spatial Generalized Moments (GM) estimator is proposed which combines the...

The importance of sampling frequency for estimates of well-being dynamics
Hoskins, Stephen; Johnston, David; Kunz, Johannes; … - 2024
Using a high-frequency panel survey, we examine the sensitivity of estimated self-reported well-being (SWB) dynamics to using monthly, quarterly, and yearly data. This is an important issue if SWB is to be used to evaluate policy. Results from autoregressive models that account for...
