We propose a two-stage instrumental variable estimator that is consistent if there is a selective compliance in the treatment group of a randomized experiment and the outcome variable is a censored duration The estimator assumes full compliance in the control group We use the estimator to...

Discrete choice models are usually derived from the assumption of random utility maximization We consider the reverse problem whether choice probablities are consistent with maximization of random utilities This leads to tests that consider the variation in these choice probabilities with the...

We consider the estimation of nonlinear models with mismeasured explanatory variables, when information on the marginal distribution of the true values of these variables is available. We derive a semi-parametric MLE that is shown to be $\sqrt{n}$ consistent and asymptotically normally...

We specify and estimate an equilibrium job search model with productivity differences across labor market segments The model allows for two types of unemployment: frictional unemployment due to search frictions and structural unemployment due to wage floors Wage floors exist because of high...

In Belgium welfare agencies receive a subsidy to employ welfare recipients for a period sufficiently long to entitle them to benefits of the contributory social insurance program This work experience program without any training content is called Social Employment (SE) This paper investigates...

We analyze the impact of unemployment benefits and minimum wages using an equilibrium search model which allows for dispersion of benefits and productivity levels job-to-job transitions and structural and frictional unemployment The estimation method uses readily available aggregate data on...

In Belgium welfare agencies receive a subsidy to employ welfare recipients for a period sufficiently long to entitle them to unemployment benefits This work experience program is called Social Employment (SE) We investigate the effect of SE on the exit rate from welfare We propose a grouping/IV...
