Food security and wheat prices in Afghanistan: A distribution-sensitive analysis of household-level impacts
D'Souza, Anna; Jolliffe, Dean - 2012
We investigate the impact of increases in wheat flour prices on household food security using unique nationally-representative data collected in Afghanistan from 2007 to 2008. We use a new estimator, the Unconditional Quantile Regression (UQR) estimator, based on influence functions to examine...

New evidence on the effects of job creation schemes in Germany : a matching approach with threefold heterogeneity
Hujer, Reinhard; Caliendo, Marco; Thomsen, Stephan L. - 2003
This paper evaluates the effects of job creation schemes on the participating individuals in Germany. Since previous empirical studies of these measures have been based on relatively small datasets and focussed on East Germany, this is the first study which allows to draw policy-relevant...
