Privatization of Public Goods : Evidence from the Sanitation Sector in Senegal

Deutschmann, Joshua W.; Gars, Jared; Houde, Jean-François - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2021

Privatization of a public good (the management of sewage treatment centers in Dakar, Senegal) leads to an increase in the productivity of downstream sewage dumping companies and a decrease in downstream prices of the services they provide to households. We use the universe of legal dumps of...

Neighborhood Sanitation and Infant Mortality

Geruso, Michael - 2015

In this paper, we shed new light on a long-standing puzzle: In India, Muslim children are substantially more likely than Hindu children to survive to their first birthday, even though Indian Muslims have lower wealth, consumption, educational attainment, and access to state services. Contrary to...

Imperfect Competition and Sanitation : Evidence from Randomized Auctions in Senegal

Houde, Jean-François; Johnson, Terence; Lipscomb, Molly; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022

We study the extent to which collusion can explain the under-provision of clean sanitation technologies in developing countries. Using desludging services in Dakar as a case-study, we document that prices are 66% higher in areas where prices are likely coordinated by a large trade association,...

A Fixed Effect Logit Model of the Impact Of Unionism on Quits

Freeman, Richard B. - 1978

There are two possible reasons for unionized workers to have lower quit rates than otherwise comparable nonunion workers: unions could organize employees with innately lower propensities to quit or they could reduce propensities by offering disgruntled workers alternatives to quitting in the...

Random-Coefficients Logit Demand Estimation with Zero-Valued Market Shares

Dubé, Jean-Pierre H. - 2020

a new estimator for the Random-Coefficients Logit demand system for purchase datasets with zero-valued market shares …. The identification of the demand parameters is based on a pairwise-differencing approach that constructs moment conditions … based on differences in demand between pairs of products. The corresponding estimator corrects non-parametrically for the …

The Random Coefficients Logit Model Is Identified

Bajari, Patrick - 2009

The random coefficients, multinomial choice logit model has been widely used in empirical choice analysis for the last 30 years. We are the first to prove that the distribution of random coefficients in this model is nonparametrically identified. Our approach exploits the structure of the logit...

Ugly Criminals

Mocan, Naci - 2006

These results suggest two handicaps faced by unattractive individuals. First, a labor market penalty provides a direct incentive for unattractive individuals toward criminal activity. Second, the level of beauty in high school has an effect on criminal propensity 7-8 years later, which seems to...

Unemployment Benefits, Labor Market Transitions, and Spurious Flows : A Multinational Logit Model with Errors in Classification

Poterba, James M. - 1993

This paper develops an algorithm for analyzing discrete events, such as labor market transitions, when some of these transitions are spurious because of measurement errors. Our algorithm extends the standard multinomial logit model, although our basic approach could be used with other stochastic...
