International migration to Germany : estimation of a time-series model and inference in panel cointegration.

Brücker, Herbert; Siliverstovs, Boriss; Trübswetter, … - 2003

In this paper we study the determinants of international migration to Germany, 1967-2000. The empirical literature on macro-economic migration functions usually explains migration flows by a set of explanatory variables such as the income differential, employment rates, and migrations stocks as...

Key parameters and efficiency of Mexican manufacturing : are there still differences between the north and the south? ; an application of nested and stochastic frontier panel data...

Braun, Frauke G. (contributor); Cullmann, Astrid (contributor) - 2008

use stochastic frontier analysis methods to test for productivity and efficiency differences in manufacturing throughout … frontier estimations confirm very similar regional patterns. Nevertheless, efficiency varies strongly within states, indicating … ; efficiency analysis ; stochastic frontier analysis ; panel data models …

Well-being over the life span : semiparametric evidence from British and German longitudinal data

Wunder, Christoph; Wiencierz, Andrea; Schwarze, Johannes; … - 2009

This paper applies semiparametric regression models using penalized splines to investigate the profile of well-being over the life span. Splines have the advantage that they do not require a priori assumptions about the form of the curve. Using data from the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS)...

European financial market integration : a closer look at government bonds in Eurozone countries

The role of asset markets for private consumption : evidence from paneleconometric models

Dreger, Christian; Reimers, Hans-Eggert - 2009

We explore the long and short run relationship between private consumption, disposable income and housing and financial wealth approximated by price indices for a panel of industrialized countries. Consumption, income and wealth are cointegrated in their common, but not in their idiosyncratic...

Trade specialisation and economic convergence : evidence from two eastern European countries

Caporale, Guglielmo Maria; Rault, Christophe; Sova, Robert - 2009

This paper analyses trade specialisation dynamics in two Eastern European countries (Romania and Bulgaria - EEC-2) vis-à-vis the core EU member states (EU-15) over the period 1990-2006. Specifically, we focus on whether there is a shift towards intra-industry trade leading to economic...

A structural approach to estimating the effect of taxation on the labor market dynamics of older workers

Haan, Peter; Prowse, Victoria - 2009

We estimate a dynamic structural life-cycle model of employment, non-employment and retirement that includes endogenous accumulation of human capital and intertemporal non- separabilities in preferences. Additionally, the model accounts for the effect of the tax and transfer system on work...

Dynamics of earnings and hourly wages in Germany

Myck, Michał; Ochmann, Richard; Qari, Salmai - 2009

There is by now a lot of evidence showing a sharp increase in cross-sectional wage and earnings inequality during the 2000s in Germany. Our study is the first to decompose this cross-sectional variance into its permanent and transitory parts for years beyond 2000. Using data from the German...

Can child care policy encourage employment and fertility? : evidence from a structural model

Haan, Peter; Wrohlich, Katharina - 2009

In this paper we develop a structural model of female employment and fertility which accounts for intertemporal feedback effects between the two outcomes. We identify the effect of financial incentives on the employment and fertility decision by exploiting variation in the tax and transfer...

Does accounting for spatial effects help forecasting the growth of Chinese provinces?

Girardin, Eric; Cholodilin, Konstantin Arkadʹevič - 2009

In this paper, we make multi-step forecasts of the annual growth rates of the real GRP for each of the 31 Chinese provinces simultaneously. Beside the usual panel data models, we use panel models that explicitly account for spatial dependence between the GRP growth rates. In addition, the...
