Variable Selection and Functional Form Uncertainty in Cross-Country Growth Regressions
Salimans, Tim - Tinbergen Institute - 2011
Regression analyses of cross-country economic growth data are complicated by two main forms of model uncertainty: the uncertainty in selecting explanatory variables and the uncertainty in specifying the functional form of the regression function. Most discussions in the literature address these...

Multitasking: Productivity Effects and Gender Differences
Buser, Thomas; Peter, Noemi - Tinbergen Institute - 2011
We examine how multitasking affects performance and check whether women are indeed better at multitasking. Subjects in our experiment perform two different tasks according to three treatments: one where they perform the tasks sequentially, one where they are forced to multitask, and one where...

The Impact of Losing in a Competition on the Willingness to seek Further Challenges
Buser, Thomas - Tinbergen Instituut - 2014
How do people react to setbacks and successes? I introduce a new measure of challenge-seeking to determine the effect of winning and losing in a competition on the willingness to seek further challenges. Participants in a lab experiment compete in two-person tournaments and are then informed of...

Equilibrium Directed Search with Multiple Applications
Albrecht, James; Gautier, Pieter; Vroman, Susan - Tinbergen Instituut - 2003
We analyse a model of equilibrium directed search in a large labour market. Each worker, observing the wages posted at all vacancies, makes a fixed, finite number of applications, a. We allow for the possibility of ex post competition should more than one vacancy want to hire the same worker....

Transfers and Exchange-Stability in Two-Sided Matching Problems
Lazarova, Emiliya; Borm, Peter; Estévez-Fernández, Arantza - Tinbergen Instituut - 2014
In this paper we consider one-to-many matching problems where the preferences of the agents involved are represented by … matching to a matching of maximum total reward, one can always provide a compensation schedule that will be ex-post stable in … uses the fact that the core of an associated compensation matching game with constraints is nonempty. …
