How much can we trust causal interpretations of fixed-effects estimators in the context of criminality?
Bjerk, David - 2009
Researchers are often interested in estimating the causal effect of some treatment on individual criminality. For example, two recent relatively prominent papers have attempted to estimate the respective direct effects of marriage and gang participation on individual criminal activity. One...

In a second step, corrected unpaired observations are used jointly with panel data …. This reduces the standard errors of the estimation coefficients and might increase their significance as well, otherwise …

Gender and Constraints to Entrepreneurship in Africa: New Evidence from Swaziland
Brixiova, Zuzana; Kangoye, Thierry - 2015
This paper contributes to closing a knowledge gap on gender, entrepreneurship and development by linking the entrepreneurial productivity to start-up capital and skills. The empirical analysis of a survey of entrepreneurs in Swaziland confirmed the importance of start-up capital for sales. Women...

Start-Up Capital and Women's Entrepreneurship: Evidence from Swaziland
Brixiova, Zuzana; Kangoye, Thierry - 2016
This paper examines gender differences in entrepreneurial performance and their links with start-up capital utilizing a search model and empirical analysis of survey of entrepreneurs from Swaziland. The results show that entrepreneurs of both genders with higher start-up capital record better...

Gender Disparities in Employment and Earnings in Sub-Saharan Africa: Evidence from Swaziland
Brixiova, Zuzana; Kangoye, Thierry - 2016
In this paper we provide first systematic evidence on the gender disparities in the labor market in Swaziland, drawing on the country's first two (2007 and 2010) Labor Force Surveys. We find that even though the global financial crisis had a less severe effect on the labor market outcomes of...
