Using efficiency analysis to measure individual well-being with an illustration for Catalonia

Ramos, Xavi - 2005

This paper shows how distance functions, a tool typically employed in production economics to measure the distance between a set of inputs and a set of outputs, can be employed to approximate a composite measure encompassing the many dimensions of well-being. It also illustrates how to implement...

Education, information, and improved health: evidence from breast cancer screening

Chen, Keith; Lange, Fabian - 2008

While it is well known that education strongly predicts health, less is known as to why. One reason might be that education improves health-care decision making. In this paper we attempt to disentangle improved decision making from other effects of education, and to quantify how large an impact...

Reallocation and the Role of Firm Composition Effects on Aggregate Wage Dynamics

Adamopoulou, Effrosyni (Efi); Bobbio, Emmanuele; De … - 2018

Aggregate wages display little cyclicality compared to what a standard model would predict. Wage rigidities are an obvious candidate but a recent strand of the literature has emphasized the need to take into account the growing importance of worker composition effects during downturns. With...

Does the Minimum Wage Cause Inefficient Rationing?

Luttmer, Erzo F.P. - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2007

This paper investigates whether the minimum wage leads to inefficient job rationing. By not allowing wages to clear the labor market, the minimum wage could cause workers with low reservation wages to be rationed out while equally skilled workers with higher reservation wages are employed. This...
