Compensation of On-call and Fixed-term Employment: the Role of Uncertainty
Graaf-Zijl, Marloes de - Tinbergen Institute - 2005
In this paper I analyse the use and compensation of fixed-term and on-call employment contracts in the Netherlands. I use an analytical framework in which wage differentials result from two types of uncertainty. Quantity uncertainty originates from imperfect foresight in future product demand. I...

Decomposing the Gender Wage Gap in the Netherlands with Sample Selection Adjustments
Albrecht, James; Vuuren, Aico van; Vroman, Susan - Tinbergen Institute - 2004
In this paper, we use quantile regression decomposition methods to analyze the gender gap between men and women who …, sample selection is a serious issue. In addition to shedding light on the sources of the gender gap in the Netherlands, we … experience with the remainder due to unobservables. Our decompositions show that the majority of the gender log wage gap is due …

The Desire for Impact
Dur, Robert; Glazer, Amihai - Tinbergen Instituut - 2004
This paper explores the meaning and implications of the desire by workers for impact. We find that this impact motive can make a firm in a competitive labor market face an upward-sloping supply curve of labor, lead workers with the same characteristics but at different firms to earn different...

Regional Wage Differences in the Netherlands: Micro-Evidence on Agglomeration Externalities
Groot, Stefan P.T. de; Groot, Henri L.F. de; Smit, Martijn - Tinbergen Institute - 2011
Based on micro-data on individual workers for the period 2000-2005, we show that wage differentials in the Netherlands are small but present. A large part of these differentials can be attributed to individual characteristics of workers. Remaining effects are partially explained by variations in...

Maximum Likelihood Estimation for correctly Specified Generalized Autoregressive Score Models: Feedback Effects, Contraction Conditions and Asymptotic Properties
Blasques, Francisco; Koopman, Siem Jan; Lucas, André - Tinbergen Instituut - 2014
The strong consistency and asymptotic normality of the maximum likelihood estimator in observation-driven models usually requires the study of the model both as a filter for the time-varying parameter and as a data generating process (DGP) for observed data. The probabilistic properties of the...

On the Invertibility of EGARCH
Martinet, Guillaume Gaetan; McAleer, Michael - Tinbergen Instituut - 2014
Of the two most widely estimated univariate asymmetric conditional volatility models, the exponential GARCH (or EGARCH) specification can capture asymmetry, which refers to the different effects on conditional volatility of positive and negative effects of equal magnitude, and leverage, which...
