The increasing use of demand-side management as a tool to reliably meet electricity demand at peak time has stimulated … the growing literature on models used to study demand, consumer baseline (CBL) and demand response in the electricity … market. After characterizing the general demand models, it reviews consumer baseline based on which further study the demand …

Large-scale environmental programs generally commit substantial societal resources, making the evaluation of their actual effects on the relevant outcomes imperative. As the example of the subsidization of energy-saving appliances illustrates, much of the applied environmental economics...

This paper presents a life cycle model for the demand for health, and derives empirical specifications that distinguish … between permanent and transitory wage responses. Using panel data, we estimate dynamic health and health input demand … equations. We find evidence of negative transitory wage effects, and positive permanent effects. Estimation results based on our …

This paper discusses the evaluation problem using observational data when the timing of treatment is an outcome of a stochastic process. We show that the duration framework in discrete time provides a fertile ground for effect evaluations. We suggest easy-to-use nonparametric survival function...

Previous studies on gender wage discrimination have relied on OLS when estimating the wage equations. However, there exists a number of recent studies, devoted to estimating the return to education, that have shown that OLS may produce biased estimates for a number of reasons. Consequently, if...

In the first part of the paper I analyze a data set on teenage behavior. The data is a sample of high school students in the Netherlands, and contains information on teenage time use, income, expenditures, and subjective measures of well-being and self-esteem. As all students in a sampled class...
