Mixed Hitting-Time Models
Abbring, Jaap H. - Tinbergen Instituut
We study a mixed hitting-time (MHT) model that specifies durations as the first time a Lévy process— a continuous-time process with stationary and independent increments— crosses a heterogeneous threshold. Such models are of substantial interest because they can be reduced from...

Early Retirement Behaviour in the Netherlands: Evidence from a Policy Reform
Euwals, Rob; Vuuren, Daniel J. van; Wolthoff, Ronald P. - Tinbergen Instituut - 2006
In the early 1990s, the Dutch social partners agreed upon transforming the generous and actuarially unfair PAYG early retirement schemes into less generous and actuarially fair capital funded schemes. The starting dates of the transitional arrangements varied by industry sector. In this study,...

Asymmetric Information and List Price Reductions in the Housing Market
Wit, Erik R. de; Klaauw, Bas van der - Tinbergen Instituut - 2010
This discussion paper resulted in a publication in the 'Regional Science and Urban Economics', 2013, 43, 507-520.<P> In housing markets with asymmetric information list prices may signal unobserved properties of the house or the seller. Asymmetric information is the starting point of many models...</p>

The Unobserved Heterogeneity Distribution in Duration Analysis
Abbring, Jaap H.; Berg, Gerard J. van den - Tinbergen Institute - 2006
In a large class of hazard models with proportional unobserved heterogeneity, the distribution of the heterogeneity among survivors converges to a gamma distribution. This convergence is often rapid. We derive this result as a general result for exponential mixtures and explore its implications...

Asymmetric Information and List Price Reductions in the Housing Market
Wit, Erik R. de; Klaauw, Bas van der - Tinbergen Institute - 2010
In housing markets with asymmetric information list prices may signal unobserved properties of the house or the seller. Asymmetric information is the starting point of many models for the housing market. In this paper, we estimate the causal effect of list-price reductions to test for the...

Stochastic Orders of Proposing Players in Bargaining
Houba, Harold - Tinbergen Instituut - 2005
The bargaining model with stochastic order of proposing players is properly embedded in continuous time and it is … the Nash bargaining solution of a modified bargaining problem and the Maximum Theorem implies convergence to the Nash … bargaining solution when time between proposals vanishes. The model unifies alternating offers, one-sided offers and random …

Costless Delay in Negotiations
Herings, P. Jean-Jacques; Houba, Harold - Tinbergen Instituut - 2015
We study strategic negotiation models featuring costless delay, general recognition procedures, endogenous voting orders, and finite sets of alternatives. Two examples show: 1. non-existence of stationary subgame-perfect equilibrium (SSPE). 2. the recursive equations and optimality conditions...
