Manzini, Paola - 2018

The Hicksian definition of complementarity and substitutability may not apply in contexts in which agents are not utility maximisers or where price or income variations, whether implicit or explicit, are not available. We look for tools to identify complementarity and substitutability satisfying...

A Job Ladder Model with Stochastic Employment Opportunities

Bradley, Jake - 2018

We set up a model with on-the-job search in which firms infrequently post vacancies for which workers occasionally apply. The model nests the standard job ladder and stock-flow models as special cases while remaining analytically tractable and easy to estimate from standard panel data sets....

The Identification and Economic Content of Ordered Choice Models with Stochastic Thresholds

Cunha, Flavio - 2008

This paper extends the widely used ordered choice model by introducing stochastic thresholds and interval-specific outcomes. The model can be interpreted as a generalization of the GAFT (MPH) framework for discrete duration data that jointly models durations and outcomes associated with...

Testing for Restricted Stochastic Dominance

Davidson, Russell; Duclos, Jean-Yves - 2006

Asymptotic and bootstrap tests are studied for testing whether there is a relation of stochastic dominance between two distributions. These tests have a null hypothesis of nondominance, with the advantage that, if this null is rejected, then all that is left is dominance. This also leads us to...

An Economic Analysis of Exclusion Restrictions for Instrumental Variable Estimation

van den Berg, Gerard J. - 2007

Instrumental variable estimation requires untestable exclusion restrictions. With policy effects on individual outcomes, there is typically a time interval between the moment the agent realizes that he may be exposed to the policy and the actual exposure or the announcement of the actual...

A Dynamic Mincer Equation with an Application to Portuguese Data

Andini, Corrado - 2007

This paper argues in favor of a dynamic specification of the Mincer equation, where past observed earnings play the role of additional explanatory variable for current observed earnings. A dynamic approach offers an explanation why the return to schooling in terms of observed earnings is not...

A Theory of Political Entrenchment

Saint-Paul, Gilles - 2012

We develop a theory of endogenous political entrenchment in a simple two-party dynamic model of income redistribution … theory for constitutionally legislated term limits is also discussed. The theory sheds light on why left-wing parties or …

Fiscal Competition for Imperfectly-Mobile Labor and Capital : A Comparative Dynamic Analysis

Wildasin, David E. - 2009

Interjurisdictional flows of imperfectly-mobile migrants, investment, and other productive resources result in the costly dynamic adjustment of resource stocks. This paper investigates the comparative dynamics of adjustment to changes in local fiscal policy with two imperfectly mobile productive...

Explaining the Gender Wage Gap : Estimates from a Dynamic Model of Job Changes and Hours Changes

Liu, Kai - 2015

I address the causes of the gender wage gap with a new dynamic model of wage, hours, and job changes that permits me to decompose the gap into a portion due to gender differences in preferences for hours of work and in constraints. The dynamic model allows the differences in constraints to...

Overconfident Boys : The Gender Gap in Mathematics Self-Assessment

Adamecz-Völgyi, Anna; Jerrim, John; Pingault, Jean-Baptiste - 2023

It is well established that boys perceive themselves to be better in mathematics than girls, even when their ability is … the same. We examine the drivers of this male overconfidence in self-assessed mathematics ability using a longitudinal … exploit the random assignment of the sex of one's co-twin. Using measures of individual self-assessment in mathematics from …
